An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 44.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contra

cted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 130 vans, they found a mean MPG of 44.4. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.6. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used.
(a) Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: u = 44.3

Hi : u# 44.3

Z1-0.05/2

Z1-0.025

Z0.975 = 1.96

Z = x-u/s.d/√n

Z= 44.4 -44.3/2.6/√130

Z = (0.1×11.4018)/2.6

Z=0.44

Since the calcalculated value is less than the table value and does not fall in the rejection region we fail to reject the null hypothesis

A bacteria culture starts with 160 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 5 hours there will be 800 bacter
Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rate at which the bacteria grow be represented by the exponential equation

P(t) = P0e^kt

P(t) is the population of the bacteria after time t

P0 is the initial population

k is the constant of variation

t is the time

If the initial Population is 160 bacteria's, them the equation becomes;

P(t) = 160e^kt

b) if After 5 hours there will be 800 bacteria, this means

at t = 5 p(t) = 800

Substitute and get k

800 = 160e^5k

800/160 = e^5k

5 = e^5k

Apply ln to both sides

Ln5 = lne^5k

ln5 = 5k

k = ln5/5

k = 0.3219

Next is to calculate the population after 7hrs i.e at t = 7

P(7) = 160e^0.3219(7)

P(7) = 160e^2.2532

P(7) = 160(9.5181)

P(7) = 1522.9

Hence the population after 7houra will be approximately 1523populations

c) To calculate the time it will take the population to reach 2790

When p(t) = 2790, t = ?

2790 = 160e^0.3219t

2790/160 = e^0.3219t

17.4375 = e^0.3219t

ln17.4375 = lne^0.3219t

2.8587 = 0.3219t

t = 2.8587/0.3219

t = 8.88 hrs

Hence it will take approximately 9hrs for the population to reach 2790

Juan went out to eat dinner, and the meal cost $60.00. If Juan received an 18% discount, what was the total value of the discoun
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The total value of the discount was $10.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are finding the value of the discount, we just need to find 18% of 60.

We can convert 18% into a decimal.

18%=0.18

Multiply.

0.18*60=10.8

The total value of the discount was $10.80.

The volume of a cylindrical container
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A. \frac{3}{4}\textrm{ gal}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of the cylindrical container before dilation, V_{i}=1\textrm{ gal}

Scale factor of the dilation, SF=\frac{3}{4}

Therefore, the volume of the dilated cylinder is given as:

V_{f}=SF\times V_{i}

Plug in 1 gal for V_{i} and \frac{3}{4} for SF. Solve for V_{f}. This gives,

V_{f}=\frac{3}{4}\times 1\\V_{f}=\frac{3}{4}\textrm{ gal}

Therefore, the volume of the dilated cylinder is \frac{3}{4} gallons.
