A herd of 1,500 steer was fed a special high‐protein grain for a month. A random sample of 29 were weighed and had gained an ave

rage of 6.7 pounds. If the standard deviation of weight gain for the entire herd is 7.1, test the hypothesis that the average weight gain per steer for the month was more than 5 pounds.

By formula we know that:

z (x) = (x - m) / [sd / sqrt (n)]

where x is the value we want to know (6.7), m is the mean (5), sd is the standard deviation (7.1) and n is the sample size (29).

Replacing we have:

z (6.7) = (6.7 - 5) / [7.1 / sqrt (29)]

z = 1.289

If we look in the normal distribution table (attached), we have that the probability is 0.8997, therefore:

1 - 0.8897 = 0.1003

So the conditional probability of a herd sample earning at least 6.7 pounds per steer is 10.03%.

Now the hypothesis tells me:

m> 5

The probability is somewhat low, therefore, the most correct thing is to reject the hypothesis even though it is a fact that can occur.

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 3 to 1 is there are 28 more boys then girls workout how many people their are it total
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

56 total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls = x

Let the number of boys = 3x

x                      1

===       =    ==========

x + 28              3

Cross multiply

3x = x + 28                  Subtract x from both sides

3x - x = 28                   Combine

2x = 28                        Divide by 2

x = 28/2

x = 14

Girls = 14

Boys = 14 + 28 = 42

Is the ratio 3 to 1?

42/14 =  3/1 Yes it does

Total number

14 + 42 = 56

Anna has a 1/2 cup of yogurt for making fruit parfaits. Each parfait requires 1/6 cup of yogurt. How many parfaits can she make?
iren2701 [21]
1/2 with the same denominator as 1/6 would be 3/6

if she has 3/6 yogurt and each parfait uses 1/6, she can only make 3 yogurt parfaits

Delicious77 [7]
Assume temp T = T0 (75 0) at Noon (00), To find out T after 4 hours at 4 p.m. or at the 8th period, each period being 0.5 hour. If the relationship is linear, i.e if temperature is dropping linearly each half an hour by 3 0, the T is a staight line T=m*t+ T0, in which the slope m=∇T/∇t = (-30/0.5 hr) = -60/hour (negative slope decreasing)

So at 4 p.m. for t=4, temp T = 750 -60/hour*4 hour= 750-240= 510
