A student carried out an experiment to determine the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample. He performed 5 trials to produce th

e following results: 490 mg, 502 mg, 505 mg, 495mg, and 492 mg. The manufacturer claims that the tablet contains 500 mg of vitamin C. Do an appropriate statistical analysis to find out whether the results obtained by the student is consistent with bottle claim.

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample is different from 500 mg.

P-value = 0.166.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sample:

M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{5}(490+502+505+495+492)\\\\\\M=\dfrac{2484}{5}\\\\\\M=496.8\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}((490-496.8)^2+(502-496.8)^2+(505-496.8)^2+(495-496.8)^2+(492-496.8)^2)}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{166.8}{4}}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{41.7}=6.5\\\\\\

Then, we can perform the hypothesis t-test for the mean.

The claim is that the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample is different from 500 mg.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=500\\\\H_a:\mu< 500

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=5.

The sample mean is M=496.8.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=6.5.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6.5}{\sqrt{5}}=2.907

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{496.8-500}{2.907}=\dfrac{-3.2}{2.907}=-1.1

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=5-1=4

This test is a left-tailed test, with 4 degrees of freedom and t=-1.1, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=P(t

As the P-value (0.166) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample is different from 500 mg.

Free_Kalibri [48]

200 is the median (50%) of the data represented in the box plot. The fraction of the books has 200 or fewer pages is: 1/2.

<h3>What is the Median of a Data in a Box Plot?</h3>

In a box plot, the median is indicated as the value marked by the vertical line that divides the rectangular box of the box plot.

The median is the middle of the data and represents the 50th percentile. That is 1/2 the data.

In the box plot given, 200 pages is the median. Therefore, the fraction of the books that have 200 or fewer pages is: 1/2.

Find the area of the shape shown below.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

26.75 units ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape is complex, divide it into 3 right angled triangles and one square. Find the area of these individual shapes first, then fin the sum of these area to calculate the ultimate area of e complex shape:

Triangle 1 = 1/2 x 2 x 5 = 5 units ^2

Triangle 2 = 1/2 x 2 x 2 = 2 units ^2

Triangle 3 = 1/2 x 3.5 x 9 = 15.75 units ^2

Square = 2 x 2 = 4 units squared.

Now add all these up 15.75 + 2 + 5 + 4 = 26.75 units squared.

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Based on expert opinion the regression does not suffer from omitted variable bias </em>because its indicators taking values of 1 and 0 where 1 would represent taking action by the legal system  and 0 would represent not taking action by the legal system. as

A bird flies from the bottom of a canyon that is 71 4/5 feet below sea level to a nest that is 875 7/10 feet above sea level. Wh
Rainbow [258]

The difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest is 947 1/2 feet

<h3>What is the difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Nest = 71 4/5 feet above the seal level

Bottom of canyon = 875 7/10 below sea level

Below sea level means negative

So, we have:

Nest = 71 4/5 feet

Bottom of canyon = -875 7/10

The difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest is calculated as

Difference = |Nest - Bottom of canyon|

This gives

Difference = |71 4/5 - (-875 7/10)|

Evaluate the difference

Difference = |947 1/2|

Remove the absolute bracket

Difference = 947 1/2

Hence, the difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest is 947 1/2 feet

Simplify 5x(3x^2+2x-3)
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

15x^3 +10x^2 - 15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Use the distributive property and multiply like terms.

<h3>Simplify</h3>
  • 5x(3x^2 + 3x - 3)
  • 5x(3x^2) + 5x(2x) + 5x(-3)
  • 15x^3 +10x^2 - 15x

The simplified form is 15x^3 +10x^2 - 15x.
