According to a report released by CIBC entitled "Women Entrepreneurs: Leading the Charge," the average age for Canadian business

women in 2008 was 41. In the report, there was some indication that researchers believed that this mean age will increase. Suppose now, a few years later, business researchers in Canada want to test to determine if, indeed, the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased. The researchers randomly sample 97 Canadian businesswomen and ascertain that the sample mean age is 43.4. From past experience, it is known that the population standard deviation is 8.95. Test to determine if the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased using a 1% level of significance. What is the p-value for this test? What is the decision? If the null hypothesis is rejected, is the result substantive?

Answer:

We conclude that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to a report released by CIBC entitled "Women Entrepreneurs: Leading the Charge," the average age for Canadian businesswomen in 2008 was 41.

The researchers randomly sample 97 Canadian businesswomen and ascertain that the sample mean age is 43.4. From past experience, it is known that the population standard deviation is 8.95.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean age of Canadian businesswomen.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 41      {means that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has decreased or remained same}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 41     {means that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z-test statistics</u> because we know about population standard deviation;

                               T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean age of Canadian businesswomen = 43.4

             \sigma = population standard deviation = 8.95

             n = sample of Canadian businesswomen = 97

So, <u>the test statistics</u>  =  \frac{43.4-41}{\frac{8.95}{\sqrt{97} } }

                                     =  2.64

The value of z test statistic is 2.64.

<u>Also, P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

             P-value = P(Z > 2.64) = 1 - P(Z < 2.64)

                           = 1 - 0.99585 = <u>0.00415</u>

Now, at 1% significance level the z table gives critical value of 2.33 for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of z as 2.64 > 2.33, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote an event. The odds of the horse finishing second is 33 to 67.

From the information, the total outcomes of event A is:

Total \ Outcomes, A=Favorable +Unfavorable\\\\=33+67\\\\=100

Hence, there are 100 total outcomes. The probability of the horse finishing second is calculated as:

p=\frac{n(A_f)}{n(A_u)}\\\\\\=p=\frac{33}{100}\\\\=0.33

Hence, the probability of finishing second is 0.33

olasank [31]

Answer:

C(x) = 0.1x+23000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a company sells doughnuts. They incur a fixed cost of $23000 for rent, insurance, and other expenses. It costs $0.1 to produce each doughnut. The company sells each doughnut for $0.2.

Let X be the no of units produced

Then we have variable cost = 0.1x

Fixed cost = 23000 (irrespective of value of x)

Total cost

C(x) = 0.1x+23000

where C represents the total cost and x no of units produced.

Revenue function would be

R(x) = 0.2x assuming all doughnuts are sold.

Profit function would be

P(X) = 0.1x-23000

The producte of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x
seraphim [82]

Product is multiplication.

The first part would be x(6+8) , x times the sum of 6 plus 8.

The second part would be written as x^2, the square of x

Now combine to get:

x(6+8) * x^2
