We wish to see if the dial indicating the oven temperature for a certain model of oven is properly calibrated. Four ovens of thi

s model are selected at random. The dial on each is set to 300 °F, and, after one hour, the actual temperature of each is measured. The temperatures measured are 305 °F, 310 °F, 300 °F, and 305 °F. Assuming that the actual temperatures for this model when the dial is set for 300° are Normally distributed with mean μ, we test whether the dial is properly calibrated at 5% of significance level.
Actual Temp: 305, 310, 300, 305

Required:
a. Based on the data, calculate the sample standard deviation and standard error of X bar (round them into two decimal places) Standard Deviation: Standard Error:
b. What is a 95% confidence interval for μ? (upper and lower bound)
c. Provide your test statistic and P-value
d. State your conclusion clearly (statistical conclusion and its interpretation).
e. Even if 5% of significance level looks like default of test, we can use different significance levels as well. If we change the significance level into 10% (= 0.1), how does it affect your conclusion?

Answer:

a. Standard deviation: 4.082

Standard error: 2.041

b. The 95% confidence interval for the actual temperature is (298.5, 311.5).

Upper bound: 311.5

Lower bound: 298.5

c. Test statistic t=2.45

P-value = 0.092

d. There is no enough evidence to claim that the dial of the oven is not properly calibrated. The actual temperature does not significantly differ from 300 °F.

e. If we use a significance level of 10% (a less rigorous test, in which the null hypothesis is rejected with with less requirements), the conclusion changes and now there is enough evidence to claim that the dial is not properly calibrated.

This happens because now the P-value (0.092) is smaller than the significance level (0.10), given statististical evidence for the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and standard deviation of the sample are:

M=\dfrac{1}{4}\sum_{i=1}^{4}(305+310+300+305)\\\\\\ M=\dfrac{1220}{4}=305

s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(n-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{4}(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot [(305-(305))^2+(310-(305))^2+(300-(305))^2+(305-(305))^2]}\\\\\\            s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot [(0)+(25)+(25)+(0)]}\\\\\\            s=\sqrt{\dfrac{50}{3}}=\sqrt{16.667}\\\\\\s=4.082

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=305.

The sample size is N=4.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM (standard error):

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{4.082}{\sqrt{4}}=\dfrac{4.082}{2}=2.041

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=4-1=3

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 3 degrees of freedom is t=3.18.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=3.18 \cdot 2.041=6.5

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 305-6.5=298.5\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 305+6.5=311.5

The 95% confidence interval for the actual temperature is (298.5, 311.5).

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the actual temperature of the oven when the dial is at 300 °F does not significantly differ from 300 °F.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=300\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 300

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=4.

The sample mean is M=305.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=4.028.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{4.082}{\sqrt{4}}=2.041

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{305-300}{2.041}=\dfrac{5}{2.041}=2.45

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=4-1=3

This test is a two-tailed test, with 3 degrees of freedom and t=2.45, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>2.45)=0.092

As the P-value (0.092) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the actual temperature of the oven when the dial is at 300 °F does not significantly differ from 300 °F.

If the significance level is 10%, the P-value (0.092) is smaller than the significance level (0.1) and the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the actual temperature of the oven when the dial is at 300 °C does not significantly differ from 300 °C.

Find inverse of y=1/2x+3
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:  f⁻¹(x)=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of an equation, you replace y with x and x with y. Then, you solve for y.

y=1/2x+3          [replace y with x and x with y]

x=1/2y+3          [subtract both sides by 3]

x-3=1/2y           [multiply both sides by 2]

y=2(x-3)            [distribute]

y=2x-6

Now, we know the inverse function is f⁻¹(x)=2x-6.

a rectangular prism has a square base with a side length of 10 inches. The volume of the prism is 1,600 cubic inches. Find the s
Liula [17]

Answer:

840 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the base is square and the side length is 10 inches, the areas of the base and of the top combined is 2(100 in^2).

The height of the prism comes from dividing the volume, 1600 in^3, by the area of the base, 100 in^2:  It is 16 in.  Then the combined areas of the four sides of the prism is 4(160 in^2).

The total surface area of the prsim is then 640 in^2 + 200 in^2, or 840 in^2.

KCCO, Inc., has current assets of $6,000, net fixed assets of $25,100, current liabilities of $4,950, and long-term debt of $12,
Arlecino [84]

The value of the company's shareholder's equity account is $14,150

<u>Explanation</u>

We know that:

Current Assets = $6,000

Net Fixed Assets = $25,100

⇒ Total Assets = Current Assets + Non-current assets

Net Fixed Assets is a non-current asset

⇒ Total Assets = Current Assets + Net Fixed Assets

⇒ Total Assets = 6,000 + 25,100

⇒ Total Assets = $31,100

Current Liabilities = $4,950

Long-term debt = $12,000

⇒ Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Non-current Liabilities

Long-term debt is a non-current liability

⇒ Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Long-term debt

⇒ Total Liabilities = 4,950 + 12,000

⇒ Total Liabilities = $16,950

Now, Shareholder's Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities

⇒ Shareholder's Equity = 31,100 - 16,950

⇒ Shareholder's Equity = $14,150

Korvikt [17]

Answer: 90 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the side = 15 x 18 = 270 sq. ft.

3 sq. ft take a minute to paint

270 sq. ft. will take 270 / 3

= 90 minutes

This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. use lagrange multipliers to find the ex
Natasha_Volkova [10]

We have ∇f(x,y,z) = ⟨4x3,4y3,4z3⟩ and ∇g(x,y,z) = ⟨2x,2y,2z⟩, so LaGrange’s method gives requires that we solve the following system of equations:

x2 + y2 + z2 <span>= 1
We split into four cases, depending on whether </span>x and y are zero or not:

4x3 = 2λx 4y3 = 2λy 4z3 = 2λz

(1) (2) (3) (4)

(a) x and y are both nonzero. Then equations (1) and (2) tell us that x2 = y2 = λ/2, and putting √√ √√√

this into equations (3) and (4) gives solutions (± 2/2, ± 2/2, 0) and (± 3/3, ± 3/3, ± 3/3). (b) x̸=0buty=0. Thenwehavex2 =λ/2,from(1)andputtingthisinto(4)givesλ/2+z2 =1,

√√ which using (3) gives solutions (±1, 0, 0) and (± 2/2, 0, ± 2/2).

(c) y ̸= 0 but x = 0. This is just like case (b) but with x and y reversed: the solutions are (0, ±1, 0) √√

and (0, ± 2/2, ± 2/<span>2).
(d) </span>x = y = 0. Then equation (4) tells us that z = ±1, so we get the two solutions (0, 0, ±1).

Now we determine which of these points are maxima and minima by simply evaluating f at all these points. We find that the maximum value of f is 1 and occurs at (±1, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0), and (0, 0, ±1),

√√√√√√

while the minimal value is 1/3, and occurs at (± 3/3, ± 3/3, ± 3/3), (± 3/3, ± 3/3, ± 3/3), √√√

and (± 3/3, ± 3/3, ± 3/<span>3). </span>
