Hypothesis Testing for Means with Small Samples

Mathematics
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago

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!

Answer:

  (4, -2)  (see attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector addition on a graph is accomplished by placing the tail of one vector on the nose of the one it is being added to. The negative of a vector is in the direction opposite to the original.

__

<h3>vector components</h3>

The components of the vectors are ...

  u  = (1, -2)

  v = (-6, -6)

Then the components of the vector sum are ...

  2u -1/3v = 2(1, -2) -1/3(-6, -6) = (2 +6/3, -4 +6/3)

  2u -1/3v = (4, -2)

<h3>graphically</h3>

The sum is shown graphically in the attachment. Vector u is added to itself by putting a copy at the end of the original. Then the nose of the second vector is at 2u.

One-third of vector v is subtracted by adding a vector to 2u that is 1/3 the length of v, and in the opposite direction. The nose of this added vector is the resultant: 2u-1/3v.

The resultant is in red in the attachment.

How do I find the percentage of 18/20
borishaifa [10]
Or for this and any other problem . every percentage is out of a 100

soooo ,
20 | 100 %
10 | 50 %
5 | 25 %
1 | 5 %

SOOO

10 + 5 = 15 50 % + 25 % = 75 % , so know we know 15/20 is 75 percent

but you need 18/20 not 15/20 , so 1 equals 5 % in this problem


1+1+1 = 3 5+5+5 = 15

15 + 3 = 90 75 + 15 = 90 , 18/20 = 90%

I know its probably alot but I wanted to show you all I did , so that it could maybe help you in the future , just gotta plug in different numbers

Describe a method you can use to find the area of the following shape. Provide specific details in your answer, including coordi
Advocard [28]

There are a number of ways this can be done. One that is fairly simple is as follows.

Triangle ABC has base AC = 9 and height B to AC of 3 (found by counting squares). Thus its area is ∆ABC = (1/2)·9·3 = 13.5 square units.

Triangle ACF has base AC = 9 and height F to AC of 3, so will have the same area as triangle ABC, 13.5 square units.

Trapezoid CDEF has base CD of 6, base EF of 4 and height EF to CD of 6 (found by counting squares). Thus its area is CDEF = (1/2)(6 + 4)(6) = 30.

The total area of the entire figure is then

... ∆ABC + ∆ACF + CDEF = 13.5 + 13.5 + 30 = 57 square units.
