Answer:

(1) Sample mean is 1480 hours and population standard deviation is 80 hours

(2) Null hypothesis: The mean lifetime of its fluorescent bulbs is 1500 hours

Alternate hypothesis: The mean lifetime of its fluorescent bulbs is less than 1500 hours

(3) 1.645

(4) D

(5) B

(6) A

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) From the population parameter, the sample mean is 1480 hours and population standard deviation is 80 hours

(2) The null hypothesis is statement deduced from the population parameter which is tested to be true or false

The alternate hypothesis is also a statement from the population parameter that negates the null hypothesis

(3) Using the standard normal distribution table, the critical value of one tailed test with significance level of 0.05 is 1.645

(4) Z = (sample mean - population mean)/(sd/√n)

sample mean = 1480, population mean = 1500, sd = 80, n = 40

Z = (1480 - 1500)/(80/√40) = -20/12.65 = -1.58

(5) The null hypothesis is rejected because the test statistic -1.58 is less than the critical value 1.645

(6) There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the mean lifetime of its fluorescent bulbs is 1500 hours because the null hypothesis is rejected

A farmer planted corn in two different fields. He planted 500 seeds of regular corn in Field A and 500 seeds of experimental cor
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1. More pollination process in the regular corn planted in field A than that of field B.

2. Low pest and insect attack on corn planted in field A compared to that of B.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Pollination is the process in which a plant becomes fertilized, so as to produced seeds. The process requires some agent which could be; air, human, wind etc.

Therefore more pollination of the corn planted in field A than those in B would lead to more yield (ears of corn harvested) than that of B.

2. Pests and insects are agents which could reduce the yield of the corn after harvest. Comparing the two fields A and B, if the corn planted in field A were not affected by pests or insects, while those planted in B were affected, then more ears of corn would be harvested in field A.

Which number has more than two factors? <br> A. 19<br> B. 23<br> C. 25<br> D. 29
Whitepunk [10]

The answer would be 25 because all of the others are prime numbers, meaning they can only be divided by themselves and 1. So it would be C.
