The average weight of a male labrador retriever is believed to be well-approximated by a normal distribution with mean 71.5 lbs

and standard deviation 7.5 lbs. A veterinarian is skeptical of this claim and takes a random sample of 15 labs that come into her clinic. The 15 labs have an average weight of 80 lbs. Use the test statistic approach at the 5% level to test if the vet’s data suggests that our original belief is incorrect.

Answer: We will reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean μ = 71.5 lbs

Standard deviation σ = 7.5 lbs

So, the hypothesis are given below:

H_0:\mu =71.5\\\\H_1:\mu \neq 71.5

Since α = 5% level of significance = 0.05

So, there is two tail test.

Critical values of z are 1.96 and -1.96.

So, we will reject H₀ if z<-1.96 or z>1.96

So, first we will find the value of z.

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{80-71.5}{\dfrac{7.5}{\sqrt{15}}}\\\\\\z=4.39

According to test statistic approach:

Since z >1.96

as 4.39>1.96

So, we will reject the null hypothesis.

One rectangle has a base of 12 inches and an altitude of 6 inches. The other has a base of 10 inches and an altitude of 5 inches
guajiro [1.7K]

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For first rectangle, it was given that

Base 1 = 12 inches

Altitude 1 = 6 inches

For the second rectangle, it was given that

Base 2 = 10 inches

Altitude 2 = 5 inches

Ratio of their bases is given by the ratio of the base of the first rectangle to the second one.

Ratio of their altitudes is given by the ratio of the altitude of the first rectangle to the altitude of the second rectangle.

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}
