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

What is 4log1/2^w(2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v written as a single logarithm?
IrinaK [193]
Given:

4log1/2^w (2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v)

Req'd:

Single logarithm = ?

Sol'n:

First remove the parenthesis,

4 log 1/2 (w) + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v)

Simplify each term,

Simplify the 4 log 1/2 (w) by moving the constant 4 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the 2 log 1/2 (u) by moving the constant 2 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the -3 log 1/2 (v) by moving the constant -3 inside the logarithm:

 log 1/2 (w^4)  + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v) 
log 1/2 (w^4) + log 1/2 (u^2) - log 1/2 (v^3)

We have to use the product property of logarithms which is log of b (x) + log of b (y) = log of b (xy):

Thus,

Log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2) - log of 1/2 (v^3) 

then use the quotient property of logarithms which is log of b (x)  - log of b (y) = log of b (x/y)

Therefore, 

log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2 / v^3)

and for the final step and answer, reorder or rearrange w^4 and u^2:

log of 1/2 (u^2 w^4 / v^3)

A population of size 3,624 grows at a rate of 3% per year, compounded continuously. How big will the population be in 2 years?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuous compound formula is

y=Pe^{rt where P is the principle or starting value, r is the growth rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years. For us:

y=3624e^{(.03)(2)}\\y=3624e^{.06}\\y=3624(1.061836547)\\y=3848.09

which would probably round to just 3848 people.
