Answer:

Part a

For this case the claim is:

\sigma >17500

And that represent the alternative hypothesis.

Part b: Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population deviation is higher than 17500, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma \leq 17500

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma >17500

Calculate the statistic  

For this test we can use the following statistic:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

\chi^2 =\frac{136-1}{17500^2} 18500^2 =150.869

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

n=136 represent the sample size

\alpha represent the confidence level  

s^2 =18500^2 represent the sample variance obtained

\sigma^2_0 =17500^2 represent the value that we want to test

Part a

For this case the claim is:

\sigma >17500

And that represent the alternative hypothesis.

Part b: Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population deviation is higher than 17500, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma \leq 17500

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma >17500

Calculate the statistic  

For this test we can use the following statistic:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

\chi^2 =\frac{136-1}{17500^2} 18500^2 =150.869

TEA [102]

Answer:

<h2>x = 745.5 ft</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use sine:

sine=\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

We have a measure of the angle and length of the opposite:

\alpha=28^o,\ opposite=350\ ft

\sin28^o\approx0.4695

Substitute:

\dfrac{350}{x}=0.4695

\dfrac{350}{x}=\dfrac{4695}{10000}            <em>cross multiply</em>

4695x=3500000           <em>divide both sides by 4695</em>

x=\dfrac{3500000}{4695}\to x\approx745.5

There is a total of 14 pupils being 8 girls and 6 boys
The probability of choosing a boy will be \frac{6}{14}
Which can be simplified into \frac{3}{7} by dividing 2 from the numerator as well as the denominator.
