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

This glass is 5 in tall and 2.5 inches
Finger [1]

The cubic inches left is 20.05 cubic inches.

<h3 /><h3>Description of the glass </h3>

A glass has the shape of a cylinder. In order to determine which glass is left, the volume of the glass has to be determined. Then what is drank would be subtracted from the volume of the glass.

<h3>Volume of the cylinder. </h3>

Volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

  • n = 22/7
  • r = radius= 2.5 / 2 = 1.25

22/7 x 1.25^2 x 5 = 24.55 cubic inches

<h3>Determination of what is left </h3>

24.55 - 4.5 = 20.05 cubic inches

9 A rectangle of perimeter 42 cm is
lianna [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is = p = 15 and q = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of rectangle = 42 cm

p - q = 9 cm

length = p

width = q

we know:

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+w)

solution:

42 = 2(P+q)

21= p+q

Difference of p and q = 9 cm.

Then, P+q=21 .... 1

P-q=9 ....2

Adding both 1 and 2

2P = 30

P= 15cm and

q = 15-9

= 6cm

Part A: Eveline rented a car at $180 for 4 days. If she rents the same car for 9 days, she has to pay a total rent of $325. Writ
QveST [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

We will use the slope intercept form of the line and then convert later.

Equation

y = mx + b is the general form

Givens

Two data points

(4,180)

(9,325)

Solution

325 = 9x + b

<u>180 = 4x + b</u>                Subtract

145 = 5x                      Divide by 5

145/5 = 5x/5               Do the division

29 = x                          This represents the cost / day

180 = 4x + b                 Substitute x = 29 to find b

180 = 4*29 + b             Combine

180 = 116 + b                Subtract 116 from both sides.

180 - 116 = b

64   = b

Solution for y = mx + b

y = 29x + 64

In Standard form this is

- 29x + y = 64 But the first number must be plus

29x - y = - 64 <<<< Answer A

Part B

y = 29x + 64

f(x) = 29x + 64

Part C

The graph is shown below. Various points are filled in using y = 29x + 64. The y intercept is (0,64) which is labeled. Let x = 1 , 2, 3, 4, ... 10 (which is arbitrary). This may be more easily done on a spreadsheet if you know how to use one to make graphs.

Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. To the nearest foot,
Firlakuza [10]
The problem says that <span>Brandon sights a helicopter above a building that is 200 feet away at an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. So, you can calculate the height asked, by following this procedure:
</span>
 Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg

 α=30°
 Opposite leg=x
 Adjacent leg=200 feet

 When you substitute these values into the formula above (Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg), you have:

 Tan(α)=Opposite leg/Adjacent leg
 Tan(30°)=x/200
 
 You must clear "x":

 x=200xTan(30°)

 Therefore, the value of "x" is:

 x=115 feet
<span>
 How high above the ground the is the helicopter?

 The answer is: 115 feet</span>
