Answer:
The answer to the problem is 21.1
Answer:
41 inches of wire will cost 164 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
1st Method
Use proportions!
18/ 72 = 41/ c
Cross multiply
18 * c = 72 * 41
18c = 2952 divide both sides by 18
<em>c = 164</em>
2nd Method.
Find the rate of the costs. r = rate
18*r = 72
r = 4 cents/inch
Now that you've found the rate you can multiply it by 41 inches to find the cents the wire costs!
41 inch * r (cents/inch) inches cancels out.
41 * 4 = 164
<em>164 cents</em>

Answer with explanation</u>

Let
be the population mean.
As per given , we have

Since the alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.
Also, population standard deviation is given
, so we perform one-tailed z-test.
Test statistic : 
, where
= Population mean
= Population standard deviation
n= sample size
= Sample mean
For n= 18 ,
,
,
, we have

P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12) [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\
=1- 0.0340=0.9660
Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.
[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]
Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .
