The number of flaws per square yard in a type of carpet material varies with mean 1.4 flaws per square yard and standard deviati

on 1.2 flaws per square yard. This population distribution cannot be normal, because a count takes only whole-number values. An inspector studies 178 square yards of the material, records the number of flaws found in each square yard, and calculates x, the mean number of flaws per square yard inspected. Use the central limit theorem to find the approximate probability that the mean number of flaws exceeds 1.5 per square yard.

According to the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of the sample means is approximately normal, with the mean equal to the population mean (1.4 flaws per square yard) and standard deviation given by:
\frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }=\frac{1.2}{ \sqrt{178} }=0.09
The z-score for 1.5 flaws per square yard is:
z=\frac{1.5-1.4}{0.09}=1.11
The cumulative probability for a z-score of 1.11 is 0.8665. Therefore the probability that the mean number of flaws exceeds 1.5 per square yard is
1 - 0.8665 = 0.1335.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.12  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.12  

b) z_{\alpha}=1.64

c) z=\frac{0.134 -0.12}{\sqrt{\frac{0.12(1-0.12)}{1000}}}=1.362  

d) p_v =P(z>1.362)=0.0866  

e) For this case since the statistic is lower than the critical value and the p value higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so then we don't have information to conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=1000 represent the random sample selected

X=134 represent the number of young drivers ages 18 – 24 that had an accident

\hat p=\frac{134}{1000}=0.134 estimated proportion of young drivers ages 18 – 24 that had an accident

p_o=0.12 is the value that we want to verify

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic

p_v{/tex} represent the p valuePart aWe want to verify if the population proportion of young drivers, ages 18 – 24, having accidents is greater than 12%:  Null hypothesis:[tex]p\leq 0.12  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.12  

The statistic would be given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Part b

For this case since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.05 of the area in the right and we got:

z_{\alpha}=1.64

Part c

For this case the statistic would be given by:

z=\frac{0.134 -0.12}{\sqrt{\frac{0.12(1-0.12)}{1000}}}=1.362  

Part d

The p value can be calculated with the following probability:

p_v =P(z>1.362)=0.0866  

Part e

For this case since the statistic is lower than the critical value and the p value higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so then we don't have information to conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.12

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: You would multiply 2/3 by 3/4.

(Hint: if it is ____ of ____, you would most likely multiply)

Step 2: 2×3/3×4

Step 3: 2×3=6

Step 4: 3×4=12

Step 5: 6/12

Step 6: Simplify 6/12 = 3/6 = 1/2

Hope this helps :)

Tema [17]

Answer:

14 and 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.

Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.

Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.

This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.

Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.

We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.

(2n)+(2n+2)=30

And we solve from there:

4n+2=30\\\Rightarrow4n=28\\\Rightarrow n=7

So, the value of n is 7.

Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.

And the consecutive even number is 16.

Determine wether the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant
evablogger [386]

Answer:

decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

"Increasing" means the graph is going up from left to right.

"Decreasing" means the graph is going down from left to right.

"Constant" means the graph is "flat" (this is not a technical term) it is keeping the same y value, neither going up nor going down.

What can be super confusing is the

(2.2, 5) mentioned in the question. THIS IS NOT A POINT. It is an interval and points and intervals unfortunately have the same notation sometimes.

An "interval" is a section of the graph, here: FROM 2.2 not including 2.2, TO 5 not including 5. These are like the address on the x-axis. If you look at your graph at 2.2 on the x-axis, it is a peak(relative maximum) and it goes down to the right to where x is 5 where it bottoms out (relative minimum) So on that interval, from 2.2 to 5, the graph is DECREASING.
