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.

A certain bacteria culture grows at a rate of 18% everyday. There are currently 420 bacteria. How many bacteria will there be on
spayn [35]

In this question, it is given that

A certain bacteria culture grows at a rate of 18% everyday. There are currently 420 bacteria.

And we have to find number of bacterias on day *.

For that we use the following formula

N(t) =N_{0} (1 +r)^t

N(0)= 420, r = 0.18 , and \ t = 8days

Substituting these values in the formula, we will get

N(8)= 420(1+0.18)^8
\\
N(8)=1579

THerefore on day 8, number of bacterias are 1579.

Why is the - sin of x the same as the sin of -x?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Sine is an odd function and presents positive values in the 1st and 2nd quadrants and negative values in the 3rd and 4th quadrants.

Step-by-step explanation:

-sin(x) = sin(-x)

This property is valid because the sine trigonometric function presents positive values in the first two quadrants and negative values in the third and fourth quadrants. The sine function is an odd function with symmetry with respect to the origin, which means that sin(x) and sin(-x) will always present opposite signs.

Write an equation for a circle with a diameter that has endpoints at (7, –4) and (1, –10). Round to the nearest tenth if necessa
Black_prince [1.1K]

The standard form for the equation of a circle is :

 (x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r2 ----------- EQ(1)
 where handk are the x and y coordinates of the center of the circle and r is the radius.
 The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

 So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (7,-4)and(1,-10) is :

 ((7+(1))/2,(-4+(-10))/2)=(4,-7)

 So the point (4,-7) is the center of the circle.

  Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:

  r^2=(7−(4))^2+(-4−(-7))^2=9+9=18

 ⇒r=√18

 Subtituting h=4, k=-7 and r=√18 into EQ(1) gives :

 (x-4)^2+(y+7)^2=18

Write a 3-digit number that is divisible by both 3 and 4. Explain how you know this number is divisible by 3 and 4.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

let us assume the 3 digit number be 984

To check weather the number is divisible by 3 and 4 then when should know the divisibility rule of 3 and 4.

A number is said to be divisible by 3 when the sum of each digit of the number is divisible by 3. Example 9+8+4 = 21 is divisible by 3 hence the number is divisible by 3.

A number is said to be divisible by 4 when the last two digit is divisible by 4 like 84 is divisible by 4 hence 984 is divisible by 4.
