A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 404 gram setting. It

is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 27 bag sample had a mean of 402 grams with a variance of 676. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled?

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

n = 27 bags

Sample mean;X = 402 gram

Population mean;μ = 404 gram

Variance = 676

We know that, standard deviation(σ) = √variance

Thus;

σ = √676

σ = 26

The hypotheses are;

Null hypothesis; H0: μ = 404

Alternative hypothesis; HA: μ < 404

Let's find the z-score from the formula;

z = (X - μ)/(√σ/n)

z = (402 - 404)/√(26/27)

z = -2.04

From the z-distribution table attached, we have a p-value of 0.02068

This is less than the significance value of 0.01 and thus we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

What is the distance between the point (−10, −2)(−10, −2) and the point (−4, −2)(−4, −2) ?
Gnoma [55]
In this case:  x 1 = - 10,  y 1 = - 2;
x 2 = - 4 ,  y 2 = - 2
The distance between the points :
d =  \sqrt{(x 2 - x 1 ) ^{2} + ( y 2 - y 1 ) ^{2} } = \\  =\sqrt{(-4+10) ^{2} +(-2+2) ^{2} } = \\ = \sqrt{6 ^{2}+0 ^{2}  } = \sqrt{36}= 6
Answer: d = 6

Find the volume V or height H of the cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
andrew-mc [135]
X = multiplication
h = height
r^2 = radius squared

Formula of a cylinder: Pi x r^2 x height

So, if 176 = 3.14... times 4^2  times h
Then, 176 = 3.14 times 16h 
Next, 176 = 50.24h
Finally, 3.5 = h

You can then check your work by plugging 3.5 back in for the missing height and round to the nearest tenth. :) The answer should come out the same if done correctly.

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

From the given question, and comparing the scores in classes A and B

Step 2:

Question one, to know the class which had the better overall result on the exam;

(I) The scores in class A ranges from 65 to 100, while that of class B ranges from 60 to 90. This explains that class A had better results.

(ii) The median of the scores in class A is 85, while the median of the scores in class B is 75, this is another piece of supporting evidence that class A had better results.

Step 3:

Question two, to know the class which had greater variability in the results;

For a better understanding of this question, I need to explain the concept of variability in statistics.

Variability in statistics refers to the difference being exhibited by data points within a data set, as related to each other or as related to the mean. This can be expressed through the range, variance or standard deviation of a data set.

Step 4:

So we need to find the range of scores in each of the two classes and then compare, the class with the greater range has the greater variability.

The Range is the difference between the lowest and highest score (H - L), where H is the highest score and L is the lowest score.

Step 5:

Applying the formula for range stated in step 4;

For Class A; H = 100 and L = 65

For Class B; H = 90 and L = 60

The range for class A; H - L = 100 - 65 = 35

The range for class B; H - L = 90 - 60 = 30

By comparing the range of class A and that of B, it is clear that Class A had a greater range (variability)

CONCLUSION:

Class A had better overall results in the exam and greater variability in the results.
