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.

<h3>Answer:  B) 2</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Take away the four white small squares on the left side. To balance things out, you have to add 4 black squares to the right side.

Also, take away the two white long rectangles from the right side. To balance this out, you have to add 2 gray long rectangles to the left side.

You should have:

  • 5 gray rectangles, and no squares (of any color) on the left side
  • 10 black squares, no long rectangles (of any color), on the right side

From here you'll group up the 10 black squares so that you'll have 2 black squares per gray rectangle.

This means the solution is 2.

-------------------------------------

If you're curious about the algebraic way to solve, then you could do this:

3x-4 = -2x+6

3x+2x = 6+4

5x = 10

x = 10/5

x = 2

This method doesn't require us to use the visual model.

The function f(t) = t2 + 4t − 14 represents a parabola. Part A: Rewrite the function in vertex form by completing the square. Sh
Cloud [144]

Answer:

A)  The vertex ( h , k) = ( -2 , -18)

B) The minimum value of the given function = - 18

C) The Axis of the symmetry for f(t) is y -axis

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Given a parabola   f(t) = t² + 4 t − 14

                               f(t) =  t² + 2(2) t + (2)²-4− 14

                           f(t) = (t +2)² - 18

Let comparing  y = (x +2)² -18

                   (x +2)² = y + 18

                   (x-h))² = 4 a ( y - k))²

<em>The vertex ( h , k) = ( -2 , -18)</em>

B)

  Given a parabola   f(t) = t² + 4 t − 14

  Differentiating with respective to 't'

                                 f¹(t) = 2 t + 4

                                  f¹(t) = 2 t + 4 = 0

now                      t = \frac{-4}{2} = -2

Again Differentiating with respective to 't'

                    f^{ll} (t) = 2 (1) >0

f(x) has a minimum value at t = -2

Given f(t) = t² + 4 t − 14

         f( -2) = 4 + 4(-2) -14 = 4 -8 -14 = -18

The minimum value of the given function = - 18

C)

f(t) = (t +2)² - 18

Let comparing  y = (x +2)² -18

                   (x +2)² = y + 18

                   (x-h))² = 4 a ( y - k))²

The vertex ( h , k) = ( -2 , -18)

The Axis of the symmetry for f(t) is y -axis

Writing lan's car can go 217 miles on 7 gallons of gas. During a drive last weekend, lan used
jolli1 [7]

Answer: Ian would have drove 91 miles using only 3 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation: I used paper and pencil and used a T-chart putting one section at the top “gallons” and the other “miles”; under gallons I put 7 because the question stated with “7 gallons of gas”; under miles I put 217 because the question states that with 7 gallons of gas Ian’s car travels 217 miles so using the T-chart I want to simply the 7 gallons of gas to one gallon of gas to figure out how miles Ian’s car would go only using 3 gallons of gas; by dividing 7 by 7 giving me 1, and with a T-chart you wanna do the same thing to both sides meaning I divided 217 by 7 as well giving me 31 for 1 gallon of gas, meaning Ian’s car would travel 31 miles with only using 1 gallon of gas. After I find that answer I go to multiply the 1 under “gallons” by 3 to and again, if you do it to one side you have to do it to the other meaning I multiplied 31 my 3 as well; giving me 91. Meaning with only using 3 gallons of gas Ian’s car would travel 91 miles!
