An educator claims that the average salary of substitute teachers in school districts is less than $60 per day. A random sample

of 8 school districts is selected, and the daily salaries are 60, 56, 60, 55, 70, 55, 60, and 55. Is there enough evidence to support the educator’s claim at 10% level of significance? (HELP: The sample mean is 58.88, and the sample standard deviation is 5.08)

Answer:

t=\frac{58.875-60}{\frac{5.083}{\sqrt{8}}}=-0.626    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=8-1=7  

The p value would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

Since the p value is higher than 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIl to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

60, 56, 60, 55, 70, 55, 60, and 55.

We can calculate the mean and deviation with these formulas:

\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

Replacing we got:

\bar X=58.875 represent the mean

s=5.083 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample  

n=8 sample size  

\mu_o =60 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is less than 60, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 60  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 60  

The statistic would be given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

t=\frac{58.875-60}{\frac{5.083}{\sqrt{8}}}=-0.626    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=8-1=7  

The p value would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

Since the p value is higher than 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIl to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 60

When measuring time, 8 concerts are approximately equal to 6 symphonies. How many symphonies are equal to 42 symphonies?
Vinil7 [7]
So normally it is
if 8x is to 6y, then how many x is to 42y?
it could be
if 8x:6y then how many x:42y or
if 8x:6y then how many y:42 x

I will solve for both

if it is
x:42y go to AAAAAAAA
if it is
y:42x then go to BBBBBBBBBB


AAAAAAAA
 how many concerts are equal to 42 symponies
arrange in concerts to symponies format

8:6=x:42
fractionify
8/6=x/42
multiply boht sides by 42
336/6=x
56=x
56 concerts equals 42 symponies



BBBBBBBBBB

 how many  symponies are equal to 42 concerts
areange in symponies:concerts
6:8=x/42
fractionify
6/8=x/42
multiply boht sides by 42
252/8=x
31.5=x
31.5 symponies to 42 concerts




so it could be


56 concerts to 42 symponies
or
31.5 symonies to 42 concerts
