A company decided to test the hypothesis that the average time a company’s employees are spending to check their private e-mails

at work is more than 6 minutes. A random sample of 40 employees were selected and they averaged 6.6 minutes. It is believed that the population standard deviation is 1.7 minutes. The α is set to 0.05. The p-value for this hypothesis test would be ______.

Answer:

z=\frac{6.6-6}{\frac{1.7}{\sqrt{40}}}=2.232    

Since is a one sided right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.232)=0.0128  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=6.6 represent the sample mean

\sigma=1.7 represent the population standard deviation

n=40 sample size  

\mu_o =6 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 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 check if the true mean is higher than 6minutes or no, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 6  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so 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{6.6-6}{\frac{1.7}{\sqrt{40}}}=2.232    

P-value

Since is a one sided right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.232)=0.0128

Planes Q and R are parallel. Lines a and b are shown on planes Q and R, respectively. Planes Q and R are parallel. Plane Q conta
natita [175]

Answer:

They are skew lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement is true about lines a and b?

They are parallel lines.

They are perpendicular lines.

They are skew lines.

They will intersect.

As they both are in different directions they are skew lines .

Skew lines are not parallel neither they .They are also not co planar i.e they lie in different planes.

We have two plane Q and R . We have two line a and b on the different planes Q and R. Both planes are parallel but the lines a and b are in different directions. Therefore they are skew lines . They do not intersect and are also not parallel neither co planar.

shutvik [7]

av =  \frac{v_{2} - v_{1}}{t_{2} - t_{1}}

t_{1} =  \frac{d}{v_{1}} =  \frac{240}{60} = 4 \: hours  \\ t_{2} =  \frac{d}{v_{2}}  =  \frac{240}{40}  = 6 \: hours

av =  \frac{v_{2} - v_{1}}{t_{2} - t_{1}}  =  \frac{40 - 60}{6 - 4}   =  \frac{ - 20}{2}  =  - 10

The approximate length of rail that needs to be replaced is 7.1 ft

<h3>Length of arc</h3>

Since the pool is circular, the approximate length that needs to be replaced is an arc of length, L = Ф/360° × πD where

  • Ф = central angle of rail section = 27° and
  • D = diameter of circular pool = 30 ft

<h3>Approximate length of rail</h3>

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = Ф/360° × πD

L = 27°/360° × π × 30 ft

L = 3/40 × π × 30 ft

L = 3/4 × π × 3 ft

L = 9/4 × π  ft

L = 2.25 × π  ft

L = 7.07 ft

L ≅ 7.1 ft

So, the approximate length of rail that needs to be replaced is 7.1 ft

Lemur [1.5K]
We are to write the expression for:

<span>The product of two and The sum of a number and eight 
</span>
This means 2 is to be multiplied with the sum of 8 and the number. The number is n. So sum of 8 and number is 8 + n

Product of 2 and the sum is 2 (8 + n)

Therefore, the correct answer is option D
