Answer:

  d.  May

Step-by-step explanation:

Working through the chain, we have ...

  Feb = 1.10×Jan

  Mar = 0.85×Feb = 0.935×Jan

  Apr = 1.20×Mar = 1.122×Jan

  May = 0.90×Apr = 1.0098×Jan

  Jun = 1.05×May = 1.06029×Jan

The multiplier that is closest to 1 is 1.0098, so May has sales closest to January.

_____

The percentage increase or decrease can be converted to a multiplier by adding it to 1. If p% is the percentage change, then adding it to an original value looks like ...

  original + p% × original = original × (1 +p%) . . . . . . . distributive property

And p% translates to a decimal number by replacing % with /100 or ×0.01.

  10% increase:   original × (1 + 10/100) = original × 1.10

  15% decrease:   original × (1 - 15/100) = original × 0.85

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 7.1 parts
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

t=\frac{6.6-7.1}{\frac{1.0}{\sqrt{26}}}=-2.550    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=6.6 represent the sample mean

s=1.0 represent the sample standard deviation

n=26 sample size  

\mu_o =7.1 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 7.1 ppm, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 7.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 7.1  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{6.6-7.1}{\frac{1.0}{\sqrt{26}}}=-2.550
