Student researchers Haley, Jeff, and Nathan saw an article on the Internet claiming that the average vertical jump for teens was

15 inches. They wondered if the average vertical jump of students at their school differed from 15 inches, so they obtained a list of student names and selected a random sample of 20 students. After contacting these students several times, they finally convinced them to allow their vertical jumps to be measured. Here are the data (in inches): 11.0 11.5 12.5 26.5 15.0 12.5 22.0 15.0 13.5 12.0 23.0 19.0 15.5 21.0 12.5 23.0 20.0 8.5 25.5 20.5 A visual of the data distribution is below: Do these data provide convincing evidence at the α = 0.10 level that the average vertical jump of students at this school differs from 15 inches?

Answer:

There is no convincing evidence at α = 0.10 level that the average vertical jump of students at this school differs from 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to make a hypothesis test to prove the claim that the average vertical jump of students differs from 15 inches.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=15\\\\H_a: \mu\neq15

The significance level is 0.10.

The sample mean is 17 and the sample standard deviation is 5.37.

The degrees of freedom are df=(20-1)=19.

The t-statistic is:

t_{19}=\frac{M-\mu}{s_M/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{17-15}{5.37/\sqrt{20}}=\frac{2}{5.37/4.47} =2/1.20=1.67

The two-sided P-value for t=1.67 is P=0.11132.

This P-value is bigger than the significance level, so the effect is not significant. The null hypothesis can not be rejected.

There is no convincing evidence at α = 0.10 level that the average vertical jump of students at this school differs from 15 inches.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<em>Net price: $4972.50</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

We know a ream of paper has a list price of $25.50. Custom Greetings placed an order for 300 of them. If they have purchased them at list price, the total price would have been

300*25.50=$7,650

But we also know there was a 35% trade discount, so the net price of their order is

$7,650-$7,650*35/100=$4972.50

There are 50 apple trees in an orchard. Each tree produces 800 apples. For each additional tree planted in the orchard, the outp
Mariana [72]

Answer:

  1. <em> 15</em>
  2. <em> 42,250</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is,

P=40000+300x-10x^2

where,

P = the total production of apples,

x = the number of trees added.

As the quadratic function has a negative leading coefficient, so it will open downward and at the vertex the value of function is maximum.

The vertex will be at \left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},-f\left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right )\right)

The value of the function will be maximum at,

x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}

Putting the values,

x=-\dfrac{300}{2\times (-10)}=\dfrac{300}{2\times 10}=\dfrac{300}{20}=15

So at x=15 or for 15 number of trees the production will be ,maximum.

Putting x=15 in f(x) will yield the maximum production of apples.

P=40000+300(15)-10(15)^2=42,250

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

y = 15x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

He charges a flat rate of $20, so any total for hours worked will have an additional $20 added to it.  

The 15x represents his earnings per hour.  He makes 15 per every hour worked, x represents the number of hours worked
