According to​ researchers, the mean length of imprisonment for​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a nation is 14.5 months. One hu

ndred randomly selected​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a city in the nation had a mean length of imprisonment of 16.2 months.
At the 5​% significance​ level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean length of imprisonment for​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city differs from the national​ mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the lengths of imprisonment for​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city is 7.0 months.

Answer:

z=\frac{16.2-14.5}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{100}}}=2.429    

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =2*P(z>2.429)=0.015  

The p value for this case is lower than the significance level so then we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 14.5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=16.2 represent the sample mean

\sigma=7 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 sample size  

\mu_o =14.5 represent the value that we want to check

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We want to check if the true mean is different from 14.5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 14.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 14.5  

The statistic is given:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{16.2-14.5}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{100}}}=2.429    

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =2*P(z>2.429)=0.015  

The p value for this case is lower than the significance level so then we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 14.5 months

You need to find the area of one of those bigger triangles, and one of those smaller triangles. Then multiply each area by 6 (because there are 6 sides of the big triangles, and the 6 small triangles make up the other side) and add them together. The area of a triangle is 1/2 times base times height equals area.... Equation: 1/2 (b * h)  = A

What number is to be multiplied with 1/3 to get 1/21
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the number let us use the alphabet A to represent the unknown number

A × 1/3= 1/21

A/3= 1/21

Cross multiply both sides

A×21= 3×1

21A= 3

Divide both sides by the coefficient of A which is 21

21A/21=3/21

A=1/7

Hence the unknown number is 1/7
