Consider a paint-drying situation in which drying time for a test specimen is normally distributed with σ = 7. The hypotheses H0

pshichka [43]

Answer:

(a) The value $\bar x$ = 72.3 is 1.21 standard deviations below the null value of μ.

(b) The mean drying time of paint is not less than 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for the single mean test is:

H₀: μ = 74 vs. Hₐ: μ < 74.

The information provided is:

σ = 7

n = 25

As the population standard deviation is known, we will use a z-test for single mean.

(a)

The z-score is a Normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1. It is also defined as the number of standard deviations a raw score is from the mean.

The z-score for sample mean is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}$

If $\bar x$ = 72.3 compute the corresponding z-score as follows:

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}$

$=\frac{72.3-74}{7/\sqrt{25}}\\=-1.21$

Thus, the value $\bar x$ = 72.3 is 1.21 standard deviations below the null value of μ.

(b)

So the test statistic is, z = -1.21.

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

$p-value=P(Z$

*Use a z-table.

The decision rule says to, reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than the significance level α = 0.01 and vice-versa.

p-value = 0.1131 < α = 0.01

The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.

Thus, the mean drying time of paint is not less than 74.

Q2.What is the ratio of volumes of the two cylinders formed by rolling a sheet of dimensions lxb in two different ways? Q3.What

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

2. b : l

3. 20cm

4. 49 $cm^{2}$

5. $(2\pi+1):2\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 2:

Let cylinder is rolled along 'l':

Height of cylinder , h = length of rectangle = l

Perimeter of base = b

Let 'r' be the radius of cylinder's base:

$2\pi r = b\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{b}{2\pi}$

Volume of a cylinder is given as:

$V = \pi r^{2} h$

Putting the values:

$V_1 = \pi (\dfrac{b}{2\pi})^2 l\\\Rightarrow V_1 = (\dfrac{b^2}{4\pi}) l$

Let cylinder is rolled along 'b':

Height of cylinder , h = length of rectangle = b

Perimeter of base = l

Let 'r' be the radius of cylinder's base:

$2\pi r = l\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{l}{2\pi}$

Volume of a cylinder is given as:

$V = \pi r^{2} h$

Putting the values:

$V_2 = \pi (\dfrac{l}{2\pi})^2 b\\\Rightarrow V_2 = (\dfrac{l^2}{4\pi}) b$

Taking ratio:

$V_1:V_2 = \dfrac{(\dfrac{b^2}{4\pi}) l}{(\dfrac{l^2}{4\pi}) b} = b:l$

Solution 3:

Rectangle is rolled along its length to make a cylinder, so height will be equal to its length.

$\therefore$ height of cylinder = 20 cm

Solution 4:

Side of square = 7 cm

Height of cylinder =Side of square = 7 cm

7 cm will be the circumference of the circle.

i.e. $2\pi r$ = 7 cm

Curved surface area of a cylinder:

$CSA = 2\pi rh$

Putting the above values:

CSA = 7 $\times$ 7 = 49 $cm^{2}$

Solution 5:

As calculated in above step:

CSA = $2\pi rh =$ 7 $\times$ 7 = 49 $cm^{2}$

Total surface area = $2\pi r^{2} + 2\pi r h$

Calculating value of r:

$2\pi r$ = 7 cm

$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r = 7\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{7}{2\pi}$

Total surface area =

$2\pi (\dfrac{7}{2\pi})^{2} + 49\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{49}{2\pi}+49\\\Rightarrow 49(\dfrac{1}{2\pi}+1) cm^2$

Ratio of TSA: CSA is

$49(\dfrac{1}{2\pi}+1) cm^2 : 49 cm^2\\\Rightarrow (\dfrac{1}{2\pi}+1):1\\\Rightarrow (2\pi+1): 2\pi$
