A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is at least 732 hours. A random sample o

f 28 light bulbs has a mean life of 704 hours. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 65 hours. At alphaequals0.05​, do you have enough evidence to reject the​ manufacturer's claim?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ ≥ 732

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 732

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = lifetime of the bulb

µ = mean lifetime

σ = standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 732

x = 704 hours

σ = 65 hours

n = 28

z = (704 - 732)/(65/√28) = - 2.28

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.011

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.011, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, there is enough evidence to reject the​ manufacturer's claim

Answer:

z=\frac{704-732}{\frac{65}{\sqrt{28}}}=-2.279      

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we can reject the null hypothesis, and the the true mean is significantly lower than 732 hours so we have enough evidence to reject the claim

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation      

\bar X=704 represent the sample mean

\sigma=65 represent the standard deviation for the population      

n=28 sample size      

\mu_o =732 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha 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 determine if the true mean is at least 732 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 732      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 732      

We know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

z-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:      

z=\frac{704-732}{\frac{65}{\sqrt{28}}}=-2.279      

Calculate the P-value      

Since is a one-side lower test the p value would be:      

p_v =P(z  

Conclusion      

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we can reject the null hypothesis, and the the true mean is significantly lower than 732 hours so we have enough evidence to reject the claim

5 Exam-style ABCD is a kite.
Mnenie [13.5K]

let's recall that in a Kite the diagonals meet each other at 90° angles, Check the picture below, so we're looking for the equation of a line that's perpendicular to BD and that passes through (-1 , 3).

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of BD

y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-1\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/3 and passes through point A

(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-1)}]\implies y-3=-\cfrac{1}{3}(x+1) \\\\\\ y-3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{1}{3}\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{1}{3}+3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{8}{3}

The population of cats in a rural neighborhood has declined in the last year by roughly 30%. Residents hypothesize that this is
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Orinal number of cats=  171

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease in population= 30%

Current population= 120

<u>To calculate the original number of cats, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Orinal number of cats= current population / (1 - decrease)

Orinal number of cats= 120 / (1 - 0.3)

Orinal number of cats=  171

Solve the following equation for aa. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Since you state that capitalization is important, then we can see that it is not possible to solve the equation for F.

If that's correct, then the only point of this was that we need to pay attention to symbols when dealing with equations or expressions

Step-by-step explanation:

A study show that there are 16 vehicles for every 10 households how many vehicles are there for 107 million households
Lisa [10]
\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;vehicles&households\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;16&10\\&#10;v&107E6&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{16}{v}=\cfrac{10}{17E6}\implies \cfrac{17E6\cdot 16}{10}=v

just to clarify the engineering notation, E6 is just 1 and 6 zeros, or a million, thus, 107,000,000 is just 107E6.
