The percent, X , of shrinkage o n drying for a certain type of plastic clay has an average shrinkage percentage :, where paramet

er : is unknown. A random sample of 45 specimens from this clay showed an average shrinking percentage of 18.4 and a standard deviation of 2.2.
Required:
a. Estimate at 5% level of significance whether the true average shrinkage percentage U: is greater than 17.5 and write your conclusion.
b. Report the p-value.

Answer:

a) t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=45-1=44  

The critical value for this case is t_{\alpha}=1.68 since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4

b) p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=18.4 represent the sample mean

s=2.2 represent the sample standard deviation

n=45 sample size  

\mu_o =17.5 represent the value to verify

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Part a

We want to test if the true mean is higher than 17.5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 17.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 17.5  

The statistic is given by:

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

And replacing we got:

t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=45-1=44  

The critical value for this case is t_{\alpha}=1.68 since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4

Part b

The p value would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044

Answer:

Yes it would

Step-by-step explanation:

Lanie's room is in the shape of a parallelogram.

Lanie has a rectangular rug that is 6 feet wide and 10 feet long.

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Area of the rectangular rug = 10 feet × 6 feet

= 60 square feet

We are told that:

The floor of her room is shown below and has an area of 108 square feet.

Hence, the rug would fit on the floor of her room because it's area is within the area of the floor of her room.

Solve for x. round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: x=11.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angle of 55 degrees, you know that the adjacent side is "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is 20.

Therefore, you need to remember the following identity:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Then, knowing that:

\alpha=55\°\\adjacent=x\\hypotenuse=20

 You need to substitute these values intocos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}:

 cos(55\°)=\frac{x}{20}

Now, you can solve for "x":

20*cos(55\°)=x\\x=11.471

Rounded to the nearest hundreth:

x=11.47
