A random sample of 225 measurements is selected from a population, and the sample mean and standard deviation are x =32.5 and s

= 30.0, respectively. It is claimed that the population mean exceeds 30. State the null and an appropriate alternative hypothesis, and perform a test at 5% significance level.

Answer:

t=\frac{32.5-30}{\frac{30}{\sqrt{225}}}=1.25    

p_v =P(t_{(224)}>1.25)=0.106  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is actually its significantly higher than 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=32.5 represent the sample mean  

s=30 represent the sample standard deviation

n=225 sample size  

\mu_o =30 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean exceeds 30, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 30  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 30  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{32.5-30}{\frac{30}{\sqrt{225}}}=1.25    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=225-1=224  

Since is a one side rigth tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(224)}>1.25)=0.106  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is actually its significantly higher than 30.

How to solve 4x-c=k solve for x
Tresset [83]

Answer:

x = \frac{k + c}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

4x - c = k

<em><u>Solve for:</u></em>

x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

(1) Let's move all of components that do not contain x (our target) to the right side (notice the change of sign of c from negative to positive):

4x = k + c

(2) Let's divide both sides of equation by 4:

\frac{4x}{4}  = \frac{k + c}{4}

(3) Now, we simplify the left side:

x = \frac{k + c}{4}

This is the solution.

Hope this helps!

SOMEONE PLEASE JUST ANSWER THIS FOR BRAINLIEST!!!
Sloan [31]

ANSWER

P-G = 11{w}^{4} - 5 {w}^{2}  {z}^{2}   - 4z^{4}

EXPLANATION

The given polynomials are:

G =  - 3 {w}^{4}  + 2 {w}^{2}  {z}^{2}  + 5z^{4}

and

P = 8 {w}^{4}   - 3{w}^{2}  {z}^{2}  + z^{4}

We want to subtract these two polynomials.

P-G = 8 {w}^{4}   - 3{w}^{2}  {z}^{2}  + z^{4}  - (- 3 {w}^{4}  + 2 {w}^{2}  {z}^{2}  + 5z^{4} )

Expand the right hand side to obtain:

P-G = 8 {w}^{4}   - 3{w}^{2}  {z}^{2}  + z^{4}   + 3 {w}^{4}   -  2 {w}^{2}  {z}^{2}   -  5z^{4}

Group the similar terms:

P-G = 8 {w}^{4}  + 3 {w}^{4}- 3{w}^{2}  {z}^{2} -  2 {w}^{2}  {z}^{2}   -  5z^{4} + z^{4}

Combine the similar terms to get:

P-G = 11{w}^{4} - 5 {w}^{2}  {z}^{2}   - 4z^{4}
