Answer:
We conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a coffee packaging plant claims that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces.
A random sample of 15 containers were weighed and the mean weight was 31.8 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 0.48 ounces.
Let = <u><em>mean weight of coffee in its containers.</em></u>
SO, Null Hypothesis, :
32 ounces {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces}
Alternate Hypothesis, :
< 32 ounces {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is less than 32 ounces}
The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = ~
where, = sample mean weight = 31.8 ounces
s = sample standard deviation = 0.48 ounces
n = sample of containers = 15
So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> = ~
= -1.614
The value of t test statistics is -1.614.
<u>Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.624 at 14 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.</u>
Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as -1.614 > -2.624, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.
Therefore, we conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.
Answer: approximately 49 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the tree is shown in the attached photo. The tree fell with its tip forming an angle of 36 degrees with the ground. It forms a right angle triangle,ABC. Angle C is gotten by subtracting the sum of angle A and angle B from 180(sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).
To determine the height of the tree, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Tan # = opposite/ adjacent
Where # = 36 degrees
Opposite = x feets
Adjacent = 25 feets
Tan 36 = x/25
x = 25tan36
x = 25 × 0.7265
x = 18.1625
Height of the tree from the ground to the point where it broke = x = 18.1625 meters.
The entire height of the tree would be the the length of the fallen side of the tree, y + 18.1625m
To get y, we will use Pythagoras theorem
y^2 = 25^2 + 18.1625^2
y^2 = 625 + 329.88
y^2 = 954.88
y = √954.88 = 30.9 meters
Height of the tree before falling was
18.1625+30.9 = 49.0625
The height of the tree was approximately 49 feets
