An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W. From pre

vious studies, it is believed that power consumption for microwave ovens is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 15 W. A consumer group has decided to try to discover if the claim appears true. They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W. 1) The appropriate hypotheses to determine if the manufacturer's claim appears reasonable are H subscript 0 colon________ and H subscript 1 colon________. (2 points) 2) For a test with a level of significance of 0.05, the critical value would be ________. (2 point) 3) The value of the test statistic is ________. (4 points) 4) Is there evidence that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of no more than 250 W? (2 points)

Answer:

We conclude that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of more than 250 W.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W with a population standard deviation of 15 W.

They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean power consumption for microwave ovens.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 250 W     {means that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of no more than 250 W}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 250 W     {means that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of more than 250 W}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                                T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean power consumption for ovens = 257.3 W

            σ = population standard deviation = 15 W

            n = sample of microwave ovens = 20

So, <em><u>the test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{257.3-250}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{20} } }

                                      =  2.176

The value of z test statistics is 2.176.

<u>Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as 2.176 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of more than 250 W.

Solve the following:<br>a) 2(5x – 3) = 24<br>b) 5(2x + 1) = 50​
likoan [24]

Answer:

x = 3 and x = \frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

2(5x - 3) = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

5x - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

(b)

5(2x + 1) = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

2x + 1 = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{9}{2}

levacccp [35]
It would take them 120 hours to get to the same point on the path again.

Kara is traveling at half the speed of Steven. Therefore, we Steven finishes his second lap Kara will just be finishing her first lap. They will both be at the starting lap again.

It will take Kara 120 hours to complete the lap. 
1800 / 15 = 120  

(That is a lot of time, do you have the numbers correct?)
