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!

Scott is on his school's academic team. On average, it takes Scott 4 minutes, with a standard deviation of 0.25 minutes, to solv
uysha [10]

Answer:

15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.25 minutes

We standardize the given data.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem)

P( x > 4.25) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{4.25 - 4}{0.25}) = P(z > 1)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 4.25) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87\%

Thus,15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

If a quadrilateral has exactly 2 lines of symmetry, and both are angle bisectors, then which statement would be true
aleksley [76]

- I think it's possibly this "The figure must be a square because the diagonals of a square bisect the right angles." but there's also "The figure must be a rhombus because it has exactly 2 pairs of congruent angles." buuut since the first one seems more better i'm assuming then that's probably the right answer.
