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!

Factors of 6:factors of 7:
Olenka [21]
6: 1,3,2,6
7: 1,7
Factors of 6 are 1,3,2,6 because 1x6 (6x1) and 3x2. (2x3)

Factors of 7 are 1,7 because seven is a odd number so you can only multiply it by one and itself. (1x7 or 7x1)

These data represent the volumes in cubic yards of the largest dams in the united states and in South America. Construct a boxpl
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Check it below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Boxplot is a visual tool to easily find the quartiles of a Distribution. To construct a boxplot it's necessary to organize the data, find at least the upper (3rd Quartile) and lower quartile (1st Quartile), and register the maximum and the minimum value.

2) This graph confirms that the South American ones have much more water than the North American counterparts. Notice the Upper Quartile, (the top of the box) for the Southern ones, it's over 100,000 yrds³. And Compare to the Northern one.
