A university claims that the mean time professors are in their offices for students is at least 6.5 hours each week. A random sa

mple of eight professors finds that the mean time in their offices is 6.2 hours each week. With a sample standard deviation of 0.49 hours from a normally distributed data set, can the university’s claim be supported at α=0.05?

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

Null hypothesis : H_0: \mu\geq 6.5

Alternative hypothesis : H_a: \mu

Since alternative hypothesis is left-tailed , so the test is a left-tailed test.

Since n= 8 <30 , so we use t-test.

Test statistic for population mean : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t=\dfrac{6.2-6.5}{\dfrac{0.49}{\sqrt{8}}}\approx-1.73

Critical value for t=t_{n-1, \alpha}=t_{7,0.05}=1.895

Since the absolute t-value (1.73) is less than the critical t-value(1.895), it means we are fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Thus , we conclude that we have enough evidence to support the university’s claim.

What is 4b + 6 ≤ 18. I don't know how to solve it and don't know the answer.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

b≤3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to solve it similarly to linear equations.

We start with 4b+6≤18.

Subtracting 6 from both sides gives 4b≤12.

From there, in order to isolate the b, we must divide both sides by 4, leaving b≤3.
