The tensile strength of stainless steel produced by a plant has been stable for a long time with a mean of 72 kg/mm2 and a stand

ard deviation of 2.15. A machine was recently adjusted and a sample of 50 items were taken to determine if the mean tensile strength has changed. The mean of this sample is 74.28. Assume that the standard deviation did not change because of the adjustment to the machine. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean of tensile strength after the machine was adjusted. Does this data suggest that the tensile strength was changed after the adjustment

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean of tensile strength after the machine was adjusted is [73.68 kg/mm2 , 74.88 kg/mm2].

Yes, this data suggest that the tensile strength was changed after the adjustment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the tensile strength of stainless steel produced by a plant has been stable for a long time with a mean of 72 kg/mm 2 and a standard deviation of 2.15.

A machine was recently adjusted and a sample of 50 items were taken to determine if the mean tensile strength has changed. The mean of this sample is 74.28. Assume that the standard deviation did not change because of the adjustment to the machine.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                         P.Q. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean strength of 50 items = 74.28

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 2.15

            n = sample of items = 50

            \mu = population mean tensile strength after machine was adjusted

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level of

                                                  significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u><em>95% confidence interval for</em></u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                 = [ 74.28-1.96 \times {\frac{2.15}{\sqrt{50} } } , 74.28+1.96 \times {\frac{2.15}{\sqrt{50} } } ]

                 = [73.68 kg/mm2 , 74.88 kg/mm2]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the mean of tensile strength after the machine was adjusted is [73.68 kg/mm2 , 74.88 kg/mm2].

<em>Yes, this data suggest that the tensile strength was changed after the adjustment as earlier the mean tensile strength was 72 kg/mm2 and now the mean strength lies between 73.68 kg/mm2 and 74.88 kg/mm2 after adjustment.</em>

Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. a1 = 9; d = -2
asambeis [7]

Answer:

nth term = 1 1/2n -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence formula is:

a n = a 1 + ( n – 1 ) d

Where: a n

is the nth term in the sequence

a 1

is the first term in the sequence

n

is the term you are solving for

d

is the common difference for any pair of consecutive numbers in the sequence.

First Term or  

n = 1 :

This is given in the problem.

a 1  =  9

Second Term or  

n = 2 :

Substitute  

2  for  n

in the formula and substitute the values from the problem giving:

a 2 = 9 + ( ( 2 – 1 ) × -2 )

a 2 = 9 + ( 1 × -2 )

a 2 = 9 +-2

a 2 = 7

Fifth Term or  n = 5 :

Substitute      in the formula and substitute the values from the problem giving:

a 5 = 9+ ( ( 5– 1 ) × -2 )

a 5 = 9 + ( 4 × -2 )

a 2 = 9 + -8

a 2 = 1  

Using this same process you should be able to determiner the

Third Term or  n = 3

: and Fourth Term or  n = 4 :

Steve opens a bank account with a simple annual interest rate of 5%. After four years, how much interest will Steve earn on an i
Marysya12 [62]

Steve will earn $160 interest after four years ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the simple interest is I = Prt, where

  • P is the initial deposit
  • r is the annual rate in decimal
  • t is the time of investment

∵ Steve opens a bank account with a simple annual interest rate of 5%

∴ r = 5% = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05

∵ His initial deposit is $800

∵ He will put the money for four years

∴ t = 4

- Substitute all these values in the formula above

∵ I = 800(0.05)(4)

∴ I = 160

Steve will earn $160 interest after four years

The width of a rectangle is 7y -7.5 feet and the length is 7.5y + 8 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle
galben [10]

Perimeter = length + length + width + width.

7y-7.5 + 7y-7.5 + 7.5y+8 + 7.5y +8

Combine like terms:

29y+1

The perimeter is 29y + 1 feet

PLEASE HELP ME I NEED HELP PLEASE HELP <br> PLEASE GIVE THE ANSWER UNDER THE QUESTION AND RATIO
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

6. 225 feet in 3 minutes = 75 feet in 1 minute (slower)

   360 feet in 5 minutes = 72 feet in 1 minute

7. $4 for 5 ounces = $0.80 for 1 ounce (most expensive)

   $14 for 20 ounces = $0.70 for 1 ounce

8. 72 people in 6 hours = 12 people in 1 hour

    117 people in 9 hours = 13 people in 1 hour (greater rate per hour)
