A customer service phone line claims that the wait times before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3

minutes. In a random sample of 62 calls, the average wait time before a representative answers is 3.24 minutes. The population standard deviation is assumed to be 0.40 minutes. Can the claim be supported at α=0.08?
a. Yes, since test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is supported.
b. No, since test statistic is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value, fail to reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is not supported.
c. No, since test statistic is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value, reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is not supported.
d. Yes, since test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is supported.

Answer:

(A) Yes, since the test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: The wait time before a call is answered by a service representative is 3.3 minutes.

Alternate hypothesis: The wait time before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3 minutes.

Test statistic (t) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ sd/√n

sample mean = 3.24 minutes

population mean = 3.3 minutes

sd = 0.4 minutes

n = 62

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 62 - 1 = 71

significance level = 0.08

t = (3.24 - 3.3) ÷ 0.4/√62 = -0.06 ÷ 005 = -1.2

The test is a one-tailed test. The critical value corresponding to 61 degrees of freedom and 0.08 significance level is 1.654

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -1.2 is in the rejection region of the critical value 1.654. The claim is contained in the alternative hypothesis, so it is supported.

The compound inequality 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50 represents all values, x, for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assis
Orlov [11]

Answer: x≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given expression 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50

Where x is the value for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assistants.

so, x is greater than or equal to 8.00

Therefore, x\geq 8.00  

And, x is less than 9.50

Therefore,  x < 9.50

On combining both expression we get,  x\geq 8.00 and x < 9.50.

Thus, Third Option is correct.

(a) Let R = {(a,b): a² + 3b &lt;= 12, a, b € z+} be a relation defined on z+)
grin007 [14]

Answer:

R is an equivalence relation, since R is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation R is an equivalence if it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

The order to options required to show that R is an equivalence relation are;

((a, b), (a, b)) ∈ R since a·b = b·a

Therefore, R is reflexive

If ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R then a·d = b·c, which gives c·b = d·a, then ((c, d), (a, b)) ∈ R

Therefore, R is symmetric

If ((c, d), (e, f)) ∈ R, and ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R therefore, c·f = d·e, and a·d = b·c

Multiplying gives, a·f·c·d = b·e·c·d, which gives, a·f = b·e, then ((a, b), (e, f)) ∈R

Therefore R is transitive

From the above proofs, the relation R is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, therefore, R is an equivalent relation.

Reasons:

Prove that the relation R is reflexive

Reflexive property is a property is the property that a number has a value that it posses (it is equal to itself)

The given relation is ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R if and only if a·d = b·c

By multiplication property of equality; a·b = b·a

Therefore;

((a, b), (a, b)) ∈ R

The relation, R, is reflexive.

Prove that the relation, R, is symmetric

Given that if ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R then we have, a·d = b·c

Therefore, c·b = d·a implies ((c, d), (a, b)) ∈ R

((a, b), (c, d)) and ((c, d), (a, b)) are symmetric.

Therefore, the relation, R, is symmetric.

Prove that R is transitive

Symbolically, transitive property is as follows; If x = y, and y = z, then x = z

From the given relation, ((a, b), (c, d)) ∈ R, then a·d = b·c

Therefore, ((c, d), (e, f)) ∈ R, then c·f = d·e

By multiplication, a·d × c·f = b·c × d·e

a·d·c·f = b·c·d·e

Therefore;

a·f·c·d = b·e·c·d

a·f = b·e

Which gives;

((a, b), (e, f)) ∈ R, therefore, the relation, R, is transitive.

Therefore;

R is an equivalence relation, since R is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

Based on a similar question posted online, it is required to rank the given options in the order to show that R is an equivalence relation.
