Hypothesis Testing for Means with Small Samples

Mathematics
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: volume of root beer in a Windsor Bottling Company can.

A sample of n=24 cans was taken and their contents measured, resulting:

X[bar]= 11.4 oz

S= 0.62 oz

Assuming that the variable has a normal distribution X~N(μ;σ²), the parameter of interest is the average contents of the root beer cans of the Windsor Bottling Company (μ)

The claim is that the population mean content of the cans is different from 12 oz, symbolically: μ ≠ 12

The statistical hypothesis (Null and alternative) have to be complementary, exhaustive and mutually exclusive. The null hypothesis is the "no change" hypothesis and always carries the "=" sign.

If the claim is μ ≠ 12, its complement is μ = 12, the expression carrying the "=" sign will be the null hypothesis and its complement will be the alternative hypothesis:

H₀: μ = 12

H₁: μ ≠ 12

α: 0.05

To test the population mean of this normal population, you have to apply a one sample t-test, with statistic:

t= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } } ~t_{n-1}

t_{H_0}= \frac{11.4-12}{\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{24} } } = -4.74

This test is two-tailed, using the critical value approach, you have to determine two rejection regions. Meaning, you'll reject the null hypothesis to small values of the statistic or to high values of the statistic.

t_{n-1;\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.025}= -2.069

t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{23;0.975}= 2.069

The decision rule is:

If t_{H_0} ≤ -2.069 or if t_{H_0} ≥ 2.069, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If -2.069 < t_{H_0} < 2.069, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

The value is less than the left critical value, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then you can say that with a 5% significance level, there is significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, then the average amount of root beer of the Windsor Bottling Company is different from 12 oz, this means that the claim about the amount of root beer in the cans is correct.

I hope it helps!

the diameter of a cylindrical construction pipe is 4 ft. if the pipe is 19 ft long, what s it’s volume?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

76\pi or 238.76 units^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is V = \pi r^{2} h

Here the radius is  r = \frac{1}{2} d = \frac{1}{2}(4)=2

The height is given as 19 ft

Then plug in all the numbers into the equation

V = \pi (2^{2})(19) = 76\pi = 238.76 units^{3}

Tammy has scored 82, 78, and 93 on her previous three tests. What score does she need on her next test so that her average (mean
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

She needs a grade of 71 on her next text.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of a data-set:

The mean of a data-set is the sum of all values in the data-set divided by the number of values.

Tammy has scored 82, 78, and 93 on her previous three tests.

Thus, her grades are 82, 78, 93 and x, in which x is her grade in the fourth test.

There are 4 tests.

What score does she need on her next test so that her average (mean) is 81?

We have to find x when the mean is 81. So

\frac{82 + 78 + 93 + x}{4} = 81

253 + x = 324

x = 324 - 253

x = 71

She needs a grade of 71 on her next text.

Solve for x in the following equation : 2 (12x -8) + 1/3 x 9=35
aleksley [76]

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(12x-8) + 1/3 x 9 =35

24x -16 + 3 = 35

24x = 48

X = 2

Find the remainder when 1 + 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + ... + 2^100 is divided by 7.<br><br> Thanks in advance!
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric series so the sum is:

a1 * r^n - 1 / (r - 1)

= 1 * (2^101 -1) / (2-1)

= 2^101 - 1.

Find the remainder when 2^101 is divided by 7:

Note that 101 = 14*7 + 3 so

2^101 = 2^(7*14 + 3) =  2^3  * (2^14)^7 = 8 * (2^14)^7.

By Fermat's Little Theorem  (2^14) ^ 7 = 2^14 mod 7 = 4^7 mod 7.

So 2^101 mod 7 = (8 * 4^7) mod 7

                           = (8 * 4) mod 7

                            = 32 mod 7

                            = 4 = the remainder when 2^101 is divided by 7.

So the remainder when 2^101- 1 is divided by 7 is 4 - 1 = 3..
