2564.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the boards are too short they cannot be used. A

sample of 26 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2559.5 millimeters with a standard deviation of 15.0. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the boards are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

We conclude that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 26 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2559.5 millimeters with a standard deviation of 15.0.

Let \mu = <u><em>population mean length of the board</em></u>.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 2564.0 millimeters    {means that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu \neq 2564.0 millimeters      {means that the boards are either too long or too short}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> because we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                             T.S.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s }{\sqrt{n}} }  ~  t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean length of boards = 2559.5 millimeters

            s = sample standard deviation = 15.0 millimeters

             n = sample of boards = 26

So, <em><u>the test statistics</u></em> =  \frac{2559.5-2564.0}{\frac{15.0 }{\sqrt{26}} }  ~   t_2_5

                                     =  -1.529    

The value of t-test statistics is -1.529.

Now, at a 0.05 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.06 and 2.06 at 25 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so <u><em>we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters.

Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Show your work 5×-3y=6,2×+5y=-10.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

5(5x-3y=6)

3(2x+5y=-10)

25x-15y=30

6x+15y=-30

31x= 0

x = 0

5(0)-3y=6

-3y=6

y= -2

What is the distance between the point (10,12) and (-4,-36)
dimulka [17.4K]
Well using distance formula

d \:  =  \sqrt{(x {}^{2} }  - x {}^{1} ) + (y {}^{2}  + y {}^{1} )
The answer I got was Distance = 45.9 what ever unit of measure it might ask for. Feel free to check my math just in case.

Sandra uses her office fax machine to send fax at the rate of $0.10 per page. She decides to rent a fax machine for $80 a year.
Maksim231197 [3]
Part A: 
 First we define the variable to be used for the problem:
 x: the number of pages that Sandra should fax
 The inequality for rent is:
 0.06x <= 80
 Note that the price will be less than using the fax from the office, since for the same number of pages, we have:
 y = 0.10x
 Answer:
 
an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year is:
 
0.06x <= 80

 Part B:
 0.06x <= 80
 From here we clear x:
 x <= 80 / 0.06
 x <= 1333.33333
 Nearest whole number
 x <= 1333
 Sandra can use the leased fax for 1333 pages and the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.06 = 79.98 $
 Using the office fax the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.1 = 133.3 $
  Answer:
 
By renting the sara machine, you save:
 
133.3-79.98 = 53.32 $
