Location is knownLocation is known to affect the number, of a particular item, sold by an automobile dealer. Two different locat

ions, A and B, are selected on an experimental basis. Location A was observed for 18 days and location B was observed for 13 days. The number of the particular items sold per day was recorded for each location. On average, location A sold 39 of these items with a sample standard deviation of 8 and location B sold 49 of these items with a sample standard deviation of 4. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the true mean number of sales at location A is fewer than the true mean number of sales at location B at the 0.01 level of significance

Answer:

There is  enough evidence to support the claim that the true mean number of sales at location A is fewer than the true mean number of sales at location B.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the true mean number of sales at location A is fewer than the true mean number of sales at location B.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2> 0

Being μ1: true mean number of sales for Location A and μ2: true mean number of sales for Location B.

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample 1 has a size n1=18 and the sample 2 has a size n2=13.

The sample 1 has a mean of 39 and a standard deviation of 8.

The sample 2 has a mean of 49 and a standard deviation of 4.

The difference between sample means is Md=-10.

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{8^2}{18}+\dfrac{4^2}{13}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{3.556+1.231}=\sqrt{4.786}=2.188

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

The degrees of freedom for this test are:

This test is a left-tailed test, with 29 degrees of freedom and t=-4.571, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0.00004) is smaller than the significance level (0.01), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is  enough evidence to support the claim that the true mean number of sales at location A is fewer than the true mean number of sales at location B.

Sharon has 23 toy car that are colored red, blue, and white. She has 4 red cars, 2 fewer blue cars than red and 5 more purple ho
podryga [215]

Answer:

13 white cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of

Red cars = x

Blue cars = y

White cars = z

Sharon has 23 toy car that are colored red, blue, and white.

x + y + z = 23

x = 4

2 fewer blue cars than red

y - 2 = x

y - 2 = 4

y = 4 + 2

y = 6

Hence,

x + y + z = 23

4 +

Number of white cars is calculated as:

23 - (6 + 4)

23 - 10

= 13 white cars

System of equations, special case infinitely many solutions?????
Mashcka [7]

One possible system is

1x + 3y = 4

2x + 6y = 8

Note how 2 is twice as large as 1, 6 is twice as large as 3, and 8 is twice as large as 4.

In other words, the second equation is the result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.

1x+3y = 4

2*(1x+3y) = 2*4

2x+6y = 8

Effectively the two equations in bold are the same which produces the same line. The two lines overlap perfectly to intersect infinitely many times. An intersection is a solution.

the local farm sell a 4 pound basket of apples for 5.60 each apple weighs 4 ounces. what is the price per apples
valina [46]
Because there are 16 ounces in a pound, we can multiply 16 by 4 to get 64, there are 64 ounces of apples which is also the same as 4 pounds of apples. If 64 ounces of apples equals $5.60, and each apple is 4 ounces, we have to also divide 64 by 4 to find the number of apples. 64 divided by 4 is 16, so 16 apples for $5.60. To get the price PER apple, or for one apple, we have divide $5.60 by 16, which will give us $0.35, or $.35 per apple, which is actually a good price.
