A manufacturer of metal fasteners expects to ship an average of 1197.00 boxes of fasteners per day. A random sample of 24 days p

roduced a mean of 1193.69 boxes per day with a standard deviation of 3.3166 boxes per day. Does evidence exist showing the average number of boxes shipped per day is different from 1197.00, using alpha=5%? If it is different from 1197.00 then the manufacturer stop

Answer:

The p-value obtained is less than the significance level at which the test was performed, hence, we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & conclude that there is evidence showing that the average number of boxes shipped per day is different from 1197.00

Step-by-step explanation:

For hypothesis testing, we first clearly state our null and alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is that there is no evidence showing that the average number of boxes shipped per day is different from 1197.00. That is, there is no significant difference between the number of boxes shipped per day and 1197.00

And the alternative hypothesis is that there is evidence showing that the average number of boxes shipped per day is different from 1197.00

Mathematically, the null hypothesis is

H₀: μ₀ = 1197.00

The alternative hypothesis is

Hₐ: μ₀ ≠ 1197.00

To do this test, we will use the t-distribution because no information on the population standard deviation is known

So, we compute the t-test statistic

t = (x - μ₀)/σₓ

x = sample mean = 1193.69 boxes per day

μ₀ = standard that we're comparing the sample mean with = 1197.00

σₓ = standard error of the sample mean

= (σ/√n)

where n = Sample size = 24 days

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 3.3166 boxes per day

σₓ = (3.3166/√24) = 0.677

t = (1193.69 - 1197) ÷ 0.677

t = -4.89

checking the tables for the p-value of this t-statistic

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23

Significance level = 0.05

p-value (for t = -4.89, at 0.05 significance level, with a two tailed condition) = 0.000061

The interpretation of p-values is that

When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

So, for this question, significance level = 5% = 0.05

p-value = 0.000061

0.000061 < 0.05

Hence,

p-value < significance level

This means that we reject the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis & conclude that there is evidence showing that the average number of boxes shipped per day is different from 1197.00

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the slope of the line?

-3/2

slope = rise/run

We can use the two points to calculate rise (y value change) and run (x value change)

slope = (-6)/4 = -3/2

What is the equation of the line? Graph of a line in the coordinate plane through the origin and the point begin ordered pair 1
Margarita [4]

Here the line passes through (0,0) and (1,3).

First we need to find the slope , and for that we need to use the following formula

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

On substituting the values from the point, we will get

m=\frac{3-0}{1-0}=3

Now we will use slope intercept form, which is

y = mx+ b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

And on substituting the values of x and y from the point (1,3) and slope, m = 3, we will get

3 = 3(1)+b

3=3+b

b =0

Substituting the values of m and b in the slope intercept form, we will get

y= 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Un refrigerador de $8,500.50

Un televisor de $3,500.50

Una computadora de $6,900.00

Una lavadora de $4,999.00

8,500.50 + 3,500.50 + 6,999.00 + 4,999.00 = 23,999.00

Delaney bought a crate for her puppy when it was 3 months old. The crate is in the shape of a rectangular prism. Since the puppy
Alika [10]

Answer:

The volume of the new crate is exactly 174.4% of the old crate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism:

The volume of a rectangular prism of dimensions x, y and z is given by:

V = xyz

She decided that the dimensions of the new crate needs to be increased by 40% of the original length.

Each dimension is increased by 40%, which means that each is multiplied by 1 + 0.4 = 1.4. So

V = 1.4x(1.4y)(1.4z) = (1.4)^3(xyz) = 2.744(xyz)

Percentage:

The new volume is 2.744 the original volume. Considering the original volume is 100% = 1, it increased by 2.744 - 1 = 1.744 = 1.744*100% = 174.4%.

The volume of the new crate is exactly 174.4% of the old crate.

62. Height Kirsten places her surveyor's telescope on the top of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Height of the tripod above the ground = 5 ft

Elevation = 8°

Distance of the tree from the tripod = 120 ft

Therefore from the figure, we can find the height of the tress as:

$\tan 8 ^\circ = \frac{BC}{AB}$

$0.1405  = \frac{BC}{120}$

∴  BC ≈ 16

Therefore, CE = BC+BE

                        = 16 + 5

                        = 21

Therefore the height of the tree is 21 feet.
