A horticulturist working for a large plant nursery is conducting experiments on the growth rate of a new shrub. Based on previou

s research, the horticulturist feels the average weekly growth rate of the new shrub is 2cm per week. A random sample of 48 shrubs has an average growth of 1.80cm per week with a standard deviation of 0.50cm. Is there overwhelming evidence to support the claim that the growth rate of the new shrub is less than 2cm per week at a 0.010 significance level

Answer:

t=\frac{1.8-2}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{48}}}=-2.771    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=48-1=47  

And the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(47)}    

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case for the growth rate is less than 2cm per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=1.8 represent the sample mean for the growth

s=0.5 represent the sample standard deviation    

n=48 sample size    

\mu_o =2 represent the value that we want to compare

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic    

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 2cm per week, the system of hypothesis are :    

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 2    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 2    

Since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{1.8-2}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{48}}}=-2.771    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=48-1=47  

And the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(47)}    

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case for the growth rate is less than 2cm per week

A brick of aluminum weighs 19,745 grams and has the following dimensions: length 29 cm, height 15 cm, and width 51 mm. What is t
garri49 [273]

If the volume of the aluminum brick will be 2218.5 cubic cm. Then the approximate density of the aluminum will be 8.9 grams per cubic cm.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is an important parameter in order to understand the fluid and its properties. Its unit is kg/m³.

The mass and density relation is given as

Density = mass/volume

A brick of aluminum weighs 19,745 grams and has the following dimensions: length 29 cm, height 15 cm, and width 51 mm.

Then the approximate density of the aluminum will be

The volume of the aluminum brick will be

V = 29 x 15 x 5.1

V = 2218.5 cubic cm

Then the density will be

D = 19,745 / 2218.5

D = 8.900 gram per cubic cm

To learn more about the density refer to the link;
