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

Answer:

  1131.0 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, fill in the appropriate values and do the arithmetic.

  V = πr²h

Since this formula needs the radius of the cylinder and you are given the diameter, you must divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius:

  r = d/2 = (12 m)/2 = 6 m

Then the volume is ...

  V = π(6 m)²(10 m) = 360π m³ ≈ 1131.0 m³ . . . . . rounded to tenths

X and y are both bigger than 30. x and y have HCF 21 and LCM 1617. Find x and y.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The values of x and y are 99 and 343

<h3>The HCF</h3>

The HCF of numbers is the highest common factors of the numbers

<h3>The LCM</h3>

The LCM of numbers is the lowest common multiple of the numbers

The HCF and the LCM are given as:

HCF = 21

LCM = 1617

Multiply the HCF and the LCM

HCF \times LCM = 21 \times 1617

HCF \times LCM = 33957

The product of the numbers x and y equals the product of the HCF and the LCM.

So, we have:

x \times y = 33957

<h3>Prime Factors</h3>

Express 33957 as a prime factor

x \times y = 3^2 \times 7^3 \times 11

Rewrite the equation as

x \times y = 99 \times 7^3

x \times y = 99 \times 343

By comparison:

x = 99

y= 343

Hence, the values of x and y are 99 and 343
