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.

jim wants to put carpet in 4 identical rooms. Each room is 14ft by 20.5. ft. A roll of carpet will cover 2oo ft. how many rolls
Lyrx [107]
Find the total square footage of each room. The room will be a rectangle and finding the area of a rectangle is just the length times the width

area of rectangle = lw

area of each room = 14 x 20.5 = 287 ft^2

The 4 rooms each have the same square footage.

Total square footage of all rooms = 287 x 4  = 1148 ft^2

To find how many roles of carpet are needed, divide the footage needed to be covered by the footage per carpet

1148/200 = 5.74

You can't buy 5.74 of a carpet roll, so you will need 6 rolls :)

Hope I helped

Four friends had dinner at a restaurant. The bill was $45.00 and they added a 20% tip. The four friends shared the total cost eq
Tanya [424]

Answer:

$13.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the total bill here by multiplying $45 by 1.20, where the 0.20 represents the 20% tip:

1.20($45) = $54

Since the four friends agree to split the bill equally, each pays:

$54/4 = $13.50

Karla has spent $48 on food. she bought milk cheese and meat. the milk cost half as much as the cheese and the meat cost half as
skelet666 [1.2K]
C = cheese

milk is half of cheese....so milk costs 0.5c
meat is 4 times as much as cheese...so meat costs 4c
and $ 48 was spent

so ur equation would be : c + 0.5c + 4c = 48 <=

One fifth of one number and one fourth of a number are added, the result is 29. What is the original number?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

\dfrac{580}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{1}{5}x + \dfrac{1}{4}x = 29

\dfrac{4}{20}x + \dfrac{5}{20}x = 29

\dfrac{9}{20}x = 29

x = 29 \times \dfrac{20}{9}

x = \dfrac{580}{9}

Answer: \dfrac{580}{9}
