A phone manufacturer wants to compete in the touch screen phone market. Management understands that the leading product has a le

ss than desirable battery life. They aim to compete with a new touch phone that is guaranteed to have a battery life more than two hours longer than the leading product. A recent sample of 120 units of the leading product provides a mean battery life of 5 hours and 40 minutes with a standard deviation of 30 minutes. A similar analysis of 100 units of the new product results in a mean battery life of 8 hours and 5 minutes and a standard deviation of 55 minutes. It is not reasonable to assume that the population variances of the two products are equal. Let new products and leading products represent population 1 and population 2, respectively.
Sample 1 is from the population of new phones and Sample 2 is from the population of old phones. All times are converted into minutes.

a. Set up the hypotheses to test if the new product has a battery life more than two hours longer than the leading product.
b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
b-2. Implement the test at the 5% significance level using the critical value approach.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2} \leq 120

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}>120

b) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

t=\frac{(485-340)-120}{\sqrt{\frac{55^2}{100}+\frac{30^2}{120}}}}=4.0689  

c) Critical value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{1}+n_{2}-2=100+120-2=218

The significance level on this case is 0.05 or 5% so we need to find a quantile on the t distribution with 218 degrees of freedom that accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right tail and this value can be founded with the following excel code: "=T.INV(1-0.05,218)" and we got:

t_{crit}= 1.652

Conclusion

Since our calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance and then we can conclude that the new product has a battery life more than two hours (120 minutes) longer than the leading product

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{1}= 8*60 +5 =485 represent the mean for the new sample

\bar X_{2}=5*60+40=340 represent the mean for the old sample

s_{1}=55 represent the sample standard deviation for the new sample

s_{2}=30 represent the sample standard deviation for the old sample

n_{1}=100 sample size selected for the new sample

n_{2}=120 sample size selected for the old sample

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the new product has a battery life more than two hours longer than the leading product., the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2} \leq 120

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}>120

If we analyze the size for the samples both are higher than 30 but we don't know the population deviations so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})- \Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

b) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

t=\frac{(485-340)-120}{\sqrt{\frac{55^2}{100}+\frac{30^2}{120}}}}=4.0689  

c) Critical value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{1}+n_{2}-2=100+120-2=218

The significance level on this case is 0.05 or 5% so we need to find a quantile on the t distribution with 218 degrees of freedom that accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right tail and this value can be founded with the following excel code: "=T.INV(1-0.05,218)" and we got:

t_{crit}= 1.652

Conclusion

Since our calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance and then we can conclude that the new product has a battery life more than two hours (120 minutes) longer than the leading product

What is the solution to the equation 32x − 1 = 243? Question 18 options: A) x = 2 B) x = 3 C) x = 4 D) x = −2
Mama L [17]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, first you want to write the whole thing out.

32x - 1 = 243

Next you want to get the variable by itself, so you are going to use inverse operations. in the equation, it is 32x - 1, so you are going to add one to both sides, getting you this:

32x = 244

Now for the final step you are going to get x alone, so you are going to use inverse operations once more and divide 32 on both sides getting you your answer.

x = 4

Now if you want to check your work simply plug in x, and if it is equal, you got the correct answer!

I hope this helped and good luck with your math!

I'm really sorry if I'm wrong though, even though I already finished this unit a while ago I struggled on this one even though it is so easy compared to the equations I have now.

A greengrocer makes a stack of 45 melons and 60 grapefruits. He wants to make a mini version of the stack but only has 24 grapef
vodomira [7]

Answer:

18 melon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Original stack :

Melon = 45

Grape fruits = 60

Mini version :

Grapefruit = 24

Using grapefruit ; we can obtain the scale factor;

60 : 24 = 2.5 : 1

Hence,

Amount of melon in the mini version is :

45 / 2.5

= 18
