Milk has a pH of 6.7, which is slightly acidic. Cheesemakers add culture to milk to lower the pH, making it more acidic and turn

ing it into cheese. A manufacturer is experimenting with a new culture that claims to produce a pH of 5.2, which is perfect for cheddar cheese. A set of 50 test batches resulted in an average pH of 5.11. A one-sample t-test was conducted to investigate whether there is evidence that the mean pH is different from 5.2. The test resulted in a p-value of 0.018. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the p-value?
a. The probability that the true pH is equal to 5.2 is 0.018.
b. The probability that the true pH is different from 5.2 is 0.018.
c. The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
d. The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or more is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.
e. The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less, or of 5.29 or more, is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.

Answer:

e. The probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less, or of 5.29 or more, is 0.018 if the true mean is 5.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a two-tailed one sample t-test.

The null hypothesis claims that the pH is not significantly different from 5.2.

The alternative hypothesis is that the mean pH is significantly different from 5.2.

The sample mean pH is 5.11, with a sample size of n=50.

The P-value of the test is 0.018.

This P-value corresponds to the probability of observing a sample mean of 5.11 or less, given that the population is defined by the null hypothesis (mean=5.2).

As this test is two-tailed, it also includes the probability of the other tail. That is the probability of observing a sample with mean 5.29 or more (0.09 or more from the population mean).

Then, we can say that, if the true mean is 5.2, there is a probability P=0.018 of observing a sample of size n=50 with a sample mean with a difference bigger than 0.09 from the population mean of the null hypothesis (5.11 or less or 5.29 or more).

The right answer is e.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Solution (7,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method

x + y=8

x - y=6

--------------Add

2x = 14

 x = 7

Substitute x = 7 into x + y=8

7 + y=8

y = 8 - 7

y = 1

Solution (7,1)

6x-21&gt;3 and 14x+11&gt;-17
Delicious77 [7]
6x-21>3
Add 21 to both sides
6x>24
Divide 6 on both sides
X>4

14x+11>-17
Subtract 11 from both sides
14x>-28
Divide 14 on both sides
X<-2

Ajax is 5 and 1 fourth feet tall. His sister is 3 eighths foot shorter than Ajax How tall is Ajax Sister?
user100 [1]

Answer:

4\frac{3}{4} feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajax is "5 and 1 fourth feet tall", which can be written as the mixed number 5\frac{1}{4} .

His sister is "3 eighths foot shorter", so she's 3/8 feet shorter than 5 1/4.

So, this is just a subtraction problem:

5\frac{1}{4} -\frac{3}{8}

To solve this, we want to convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction, which is: \frac{21}{4} . Now, we want to find a common denominator. In this case, that common denominator is 8, so \frac{21}{4} =\frac{42}{8} .

Finally, we subtract 3/8 from 42/8: \frac{42}{8} -\frac{3}{8} =\frac{39}{8} . So, Ajax's sister is 39/8 feet. Converting this into a mixed number, we have: 39/8 = 4\frac{6}{8} =4\frac{3}{4} .

Therefore, Ajax's sister is 4\frac{3}{4} feet tall.

Hope this helps!

A dog won a race at the local fair by running 5 1/4 miles exactly 2 hours . At this constant rate , how long does it take it to
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

6 3/10 divided by 5 1/4 is 1.2. So 6 3/10 is 1.2 times more than 5 1/4. We then take the 1.2 and multiply it by 2 hours because we need to find what's 1.2 times more than 2 hours. So then you get 2.4 hours.
