The Scottsdale fire department aims to respond to fire calls in 4 minutes or less, on average. Response times are normally distr

ibuted with a standard deviation of 1 minute. Would a sample of 18 fire calls with a mean response time of 4 minutes 30 seconds provide sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01?

<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu \leq4\\\\ H_a: \mu >4

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

Also, population standard deviation is given \sigma=1 , so we perform one-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where \mu = Population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation

n= sample size

\overline{x} = Sample mean

For n= 18 , \overline{x}=4.50 , \sigma=1 , \mu =4, we have

z=\dfrac{4.5-4}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}}}\approx2.12

P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12)  [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\

=1- 0.0340=0.9660

Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.

[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]

Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .

A2 = -8 and a5 = -512<br> Find a10
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The value of a₁₀ is -1352

Step-by-step explanation:

a₂ = -8

a₅ = -512

Now,

a₂ = -8 can be written as

a + d = -8 ...(1) and

a₅ = -512 can be written as

a + 4d = -512 ...(2)

Now, from equation (2) we get,

a + 4d = - 512

a + d + 3d = - 512

(-8) + 3d = - 512 (.°. <u>a + d = </u><u>-8</u><u>)</u>

3d = - 512 + 8

3d = - 504

d = - 504 ÷ 3

d = - 168

Now, for the value of a put the value of d = -168 in equation (1)

a + d = -8

a + (-168) = -8

a - 168 = -8

a = 168 - 8

a = 160

Now, For a₁₀

a₁₀ = a + 9d

a₁₀ = 160 + 9(-168)

a₁₀ = 160 - 1512

a₁₀ = -1352

Thus, The value of a₁₀ is -1352
