Company A is trying to sell its website to Company B. As part of the sale, Company A claims that the average user of their site

stays on the site for 10 minutes. Company B is concerned that the mean time is significantly less than 10 minutes. Company B collects the times (in minutes) below for a sample of 19 users. Assume normality.
Time: 1.2, 2.8, 1.5, 19.3, 2.4, 0.7, 2.2, 0.7, 18.8, 6.1, 6, 1.7, 29.1, 2.6, 0.2, 10.2, 5.1, 0.9, 8.2
Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test for Company B using a 0.08 level of significance.
a) What is the critical value for the test? Give your answer to four decimals.
b) What is the appropriate conclusion?
A. Reject the claim that the mean time is 10 minutes because the test statistic is larger than the critical point.
B. Fail to reject the claim that the mean time is 10 minutes because the test statistic is larger than the critical point.
C. Reject the claim that the mean time is 10 minutes because the test statistic is smaller than the critical point.
D. Fail to reject the claim that the mean time is 10 minutes because the test statistic is smaller than the critical point.

Answer:

a) Critical value = -1.4052

Since we are checking if the mean time is less than 10 minutes, the rejection area would be

z < -1.4052

b) Option C is correct.

Reject the claim that the mean time is 10 minutes because the test statistic is smaller than the critical point.

That is, the mean time is significantly less than 10 minutes.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

a) Using z-distribution, the critical value is obtained from the confidence level at which the test is going to be performed. Since the hypothesis test tests only in one direction (checking if the claim is less than 10 minutes significantly)

P(z < Critical value) = 0.08

From the z-tables, critical value = -1.4052

Since we are checking if the mean time is less than 10 minutes, the rejection area would be

z < -1.4052

b) We first give the null and alternative hypothesis

The null hypothesis is that there isn't significant evidence to suggest that the mean time is less than 10 minutes.

And the alternative hypothesis is is that there is significant evidence to suggest that the mean time is less than 10 minutes.

To now perform this hypothesis test, we need to obtain the test statistic

Test statistic = (x - μ)/σₓ

x = sample mean = (Σx/N)

The data is

1.2, 2.8, 1.5, 19.3, 2.4, 0.7, 2.2, 0.7, 18.8, 6.1, 6, 1.7, 29.1, 2.6, 0.2, 10.2, 5.1, 0.9, 8.2

Σx = 119.7

N = Sample size = 19

x = sample mean = (119.7/19) = 6.3

μ = standard to be compared against = 10 minutes

σₓ = standard error = (σ/√N)

where N = Sample size = 19

σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

x = each variable

xbar = mean = 6.3

N = Sample size = 19

Σ(x - xbar)² = 1122.74

σ = (√1122.74/19) = 7.687

σₓ = (7.687/√19) = 1.7635

Test statistic = (x - μ)/σₓ

Test statistic = (6.3 - 10)/1.7635

= -2.098 = -2.10

z = -2.10 and is in the rejection region, (z < -1.4052), hence, we reject the null hypothesis and the claim and say that the mean time is significantly less than 10 minutes.

The test statistic is less than the critical point, hence, we reject the null hypothesis and the claim and conclude that the mean time is less than 10 minutes.

Hope this Helps!!!

Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle Y X Z is a right angle. The length of Y X is 12 inches and the length of X Z is 10 inches. Angle
mario62 [17]

The best approximation for the measure of angle XYZ is 39.8° ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the trigonometry ratios in the right triangle ABC, where B is the right angle, AC is the hypotenuse, AB and BC are the legs of the triangle

The trigonometry ratios of the angle BAC, the opposite side to this angle is BC and the adjacent side to it is AB are

  • sin(BAC)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}=\frac{BC}{AC}
  • cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}
  • tan(BAC)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{BC}{AB}

In Δ XYZ

∵ ∠ YXZ is a right angle

∴ The hypotenuse is YZ

∵ The adjacent side to ∠XYZ is XY

∵ The opposite side to ∠XYZ is XZ

∵ YX = 12 units

∵ XZ = 10 units

- Use tan ratio to find the measure of the angle because you

   have the adjacent and opposite sides of the angle XYZ

∵ m∠XYZ is x

∵ tan(x)=\frac{XZ}{XY}

∴ tan(x)=\frac{10}{12}

- To find x use the inverse of tan(x)

∵ x=tan^{-1}(\frac{10}{12})

∴ x = 39.8°

∴ m∠XYZ = 39.81°

The best approximation for the measure of angle XYZ is 39.8°

Find the area of the circle to the nearest tenth. use 3.14 for pie
VikaD [51]
I assume that 4.4 is the diameter,please do correct me if i am wrong.

To get the area of the circle,the formula is 丌r^2

to find the radius,we need ro devide the diameter by 2

thus the equations is
3.14  \times  ({4.4 \div 2})^{2}  \\  = 3.14 \times {2.2}^{2}  \\  = 15.196 \\  = 15.2(correct \: to \: the \: nearest \: tenth)
Therefore the answer is B.15.2

hope it helps!

I need help with Number 7 please!!!
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

8.06 ft or \sqrt{65}  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Rebecca bought a square table and squares have equal sides, you can take the square root of the area of the table, which gives you \sqrt{65}  ft per side. This can be approximated to 8.06 ft.

Please answers quick ,whats an inequality?
dangina [55]
An inequality is a relation that makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. It’s mostly used to compare 2 numbers on the number line by sizes.
