A consumer products company is formulating a new shampoo and is interested in foam height (in mm). Foam height is approximately

normally distributed and has a standard deviation of 20 mm. The company wishes to test H0: μ = 175 mm versus H1: μ > 175 mm, using a random sample of n = 10 samples.(a) Find P-value if the sample average is = 185? Round your final answer to 3 decimal places.(b) What is the probability of type II error if the true mean foam height is 200 mm and we assume that α = 0.05? Round your intermediate answer to 1 decimal place. Round the final answer to 4 decimal places.(c) What is the power of the test from part (b)? Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

a) 0.057

b) 0.5234

c) 0.4766

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

To find the p-value if the sample average is 185, we first compute the z-score associated to this value, we use the formula

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt N}

where

\bar x=mean\; of\;the \;sample

\mu=mean\; established\; in\; H_0

\sigma=standard \; deviation

N = size of the sample.

So,

z=\frac{185-175}{20/\sqrt {10}}=1.5811

\boxed {z=1.5811}

As the sample suggests that the real mean could be greater than the established in the null hypothesis, then we are interested in the area under the normal curve to the right of  1.5811 and this would be your p-value.

We compute the area of the normal curve for values to the right of  1.5811 either with a table or with a computer and find that this area is equal to 0.0569 = 0.057 rounded to 3 decimals.

So the p-value is  

\boxed {p=0.057}

b)

Since the z-score associated to an α value of 0.05 is 1.64 and the z-score of the alternative hypothesis is 1.5811 which is less than 1.64 (z critical), we cannot reject the null, so we are making a Type II error since 175 is not the true mean.

We can compute the probability of such an error following the next steps:

<u>Step 1 </u>

Compute \bar x_{critical}

1.64=z_{critical}=\frac{\bar x_{critical}-\mu_0}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}

\frac{\bar x_{critical}-\mu_0}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{\bar x_{critical}-175}{6.3245}=1.64\Rightarrow \bar x_{critical}=185.3721

So <em>we would make a Type II error if our sample mean is less than 185.3721</em>.  

<u>Step 2</u>

Compute the probability that your sample mean is less than 185.3711  

P(\bar x < 185.3711)=P(z< \frac{185.3711-185}{6.3245})=P(z

So, <em>the probability of making a Type II error is 0.5234 = 52.34% </em>

c)

<em>The power of a hypothesis test is 1 minus the probability of a Type II error</em>. So, the power of the test is

1 - 0.5234 = 0.4766

Graph the function y = |1.6x – 2| – 3.2. Over which interval is the function increasing?
klasskru [66]
You are to graph   <span>y = |1.6x – 2| – 3.2.  I trust you know that the graph of y=|x| is v-shaped, opening up, with vertex at (0,0).

Let's rewrite </span><span>y = |1.6x – 2| – 3.2 by factoring 1.6 out of  |1.6x - 2|:

                     </span><span>y = 1.6*|x – 2/1.6| – 3.2

This tells us that the vertex of   </span><span>y = |1.6x – 2| – 3.2   is at (2/1.6,  -3.2).  If you need an explanation of why this is, please ask.

Plot the vertex at (1.25, -3.2).
Find the y-intercept:  Let x = 0 in  </span><span>y = |1.6x – 2| – 3.2 and find y:

                                                      y = 2-3.2 = -1.2

The y-intercept is located at 0, -1.2)

Plot this y-intercept.

Now draw a straight line from the vertex to this y-intercept.  Reflect that line across the y-axis to obtain the other half of the graph.</span>

A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 5 meters per minute for 62.5 meters. For how many minutes does it wa
Sergio [31]
The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

The value of X in the figure ABCD witch is a rhombus
NeX [460]

Answer:

  x = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus divide the figure into congruent right triangles. That means the two marked acute angles are complementary.

__

<h3>solve for x</h3>

Complementary angles total 90°, so the relation we can use to find x is ...

  (3x -13) +(8x -7) = 90

  11x = 110 . . . . . . . . . add 20

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The value of x is 10°.
