The value of y is 18.46 when x=10 and z = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportion is denoted as:

y∝x

And the inverse proportion will be denoted as:

y∝1/z

combining both

y∝ x/z

When the symbol of proportionality is removed, the proportionality constant is introduced

y = k\frac{x}{z}

Given

y = 32 when x=4 and z = 6

Putting the values

32 = k * \frac{4}{6}\\k = 32 * \frac{6}{4}\\k = 8*6\\k = 48

So the equation will become:

y = 48* \frac{x}{z}

Putting x=10 and z= 26

y = 48 * \frac{10}{26}\\y = \frac{480}{26}\\y = 18.4615

Hence,

The value of y is 18.46 when x=10 and z = 26

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is H_0: \mu = 14

The alternate hypothesis is H_a: \mu < 14

The test statistic is t = -1.95.

The p-value is of 0.0292. This means that for a level of significance of 0.0292 and higher, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a consumer product researcher wanted to find out whether a highlighter lasted less than the manufacturer's claim that their highlighters could write continuously for 14 hours.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 14 hours, that is:

H_0: \mu = 14

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the mean is less than 14 hours, that is:

H_a: \mu < 14

The test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

14 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 14

X = 13.6 hours, s = 1.3 hours. Sample of 40:

In addition to the values of X and s given, we have that n = 40

Test statistic:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{13.6 - 14}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{40}}}

t = -1.95

The test statistic is t = -1.95.

P-value:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean lower than 13.6, which is a left tailed test, with t = -1.95 and 40 - 1 = 39 degrees of freedom.

Using a calculator, the p-value is of 0.0292. This means that for a level of significance of 0.0292 and higher, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours.
