The life in hours of a biomedical device under development in the laboratory is known to be approximately normally distributed.

A random sample of 15 devices is selected and found to have an average life of 5617.8 hours and a sample standard deviation of 234.5 hours.
a) Test the hypothesis that the true mean life of a biomedical device is greater than 500 using the P - value approach.

b) Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean.

c) Use the confidence bound found in part (b) to test the hypothesis.

Answer:

a) The evidence suggest the true mean life of a biomedical device > 5500

b) (5487.94, +∞)

c) There is evidence to support that the mean is equal to 5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

(a) To test the hypothesis we have the claim that the mean life of biomedical devices > 5500

Therefore, we put the null Hypothesis which is the proposition that a difference does not exist. That is

H₀:  μ = 5500

Therefore, the alternative hypothesis will be

Hₐ:  μ > 5500

The test statistic is then found by;

t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{s }{\sqrt{n}}} =\frac{5617.8-5500 }{\frac{234.5 }{\sqrt{15}}} \approx 1.95

The P value from the T table at df = n - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14 is

0.025 < P < 0.05

The P value is given as 0.036 from the T distribution at 14 derees of freedom df

Therefore, since P < α or 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. That is we fail to reject Hₐ:  μ > 5500. The evidence suggest the true mean life of a biomedical device > 5500

(b) The 95% confidence interval is given as

CI=\bar{x}\pm t_\alpha \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Which gives    t_\alpha =  \pm2.145

CI=5617.8\pm 2.145 \times \frac{234.5}{\sqrt{15}}

The confidence interval of the lower bound on the mean is then

(5487.94, +∞)

c) From the above result, we find that the mean of 5500 is contained in the range of the lower confidence on the mean. We can therefore, accept the null hypothesis. That is there is evidence to support that the mean is equal to 5500.

Choose the best coordinate system to find the volume of the portion of the solid sphere rho &lt;_4 that lies between the cones φ
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

So,  the volume is:

\boxed{V=\frac{128\sqrt{2}\pi}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We get the limits of integration:

R=\left\lbrace(\rho, \varphi, \theta):\, 0\leq \rho \leq  4,\, \frac{\pi}{4}\leq \varphi\leq \frac{3\pi}{4},\, 0\leq \theta \leq 2\pi\right\rbrace

We use the spherical coordinates and  we calculate a triple integral:

V=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{3\pi}{4}}\int_0^4  \rho^2 \sin \varphi \, d\rho\, d\varphi\, d\theta\\\\V=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{3\pi}{4}} \sin \varphi \left[\frac{\rho^3}{3}\right]_0^4\, d\varphi\, d\theta\\\\V=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{3\pi}{4}} \sin \varphi \cdot \frac{64}{3} \, d\varphi\, d\theta\\\\V=\frac{64}{3} \int_0^{2\pi} [-\cos \varphi]_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{3\pi}{4}}  \, d\theta\\\\V=\frac{64}{3} \int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{2} \, d\theta\\\\

we get:

V=\frac{64}{3} \int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{2} \, d\theta\\\\V=\frac{64\sqrt{2}}{3}\cdot[\theta]_0^{2\pi}\\\\V=\frac{128\sqrt{2}\pi}{3}

So,  the volume is:

\boxed{V=\frac{128\sqrt{2}\pi}{3}}

A security light is being installed outside a loading dock. The light must be placed at a 65° angle so that it illuminates a par
jeka57 [31]

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: I believe it would be false. Using the law of sines with the side lengths of 113.29 feet and 125 feet, and the corresponding angels of 25 and 65 degrees, the angle of the light is about 58.29. I believe this would make it false as the angle is incorrect.

8 55% of students in a school are boys.
ioda

Answer:

Ratio = 11:9

Boys = 440

Girls = 360

Explanation:

Given that, in a school,

Total number of students = 800

Also,

Percent of boys = 55%

Therefore, number of boys = 55% of 800

No. of boys = 55/100 x 800

No. of boys = 55 x 8 =

No. of boys = 440

Therefore, we will get,

No. of girls = (800-440)

No. of girls = 360

Therefore, we will get,

Ratio of boys to girls = 440/360

Ratio = (40*11)/(40x9)

Ratio = 11/9

Hence, the ratio of boys to girls is 11:9 and number of boys and girls is 440 and 360 respectively.
