The average yield of the standard variety off soybeans per acre on a farm in a region is 48.8 bushels per acre, with a standard

deviation of 12.0 bushels per acre. We have developed a new variety of soybean that we believe will have a higher mean yield per acre. To test this, we draw a random sample of 36 one-acre plots from the region, plant the new variety of soybean, and compute the sample mean yield per acre. The sample mean yield per acre is 53.4 bushels. Carry out the test at the 0.01 level of significance. (You can assume that yields per acre are approximately normally distributed.) Follow all steps clearly and write a clear conclusion. Include all necessary conditions check and show all your working.

Answer:

z=\frac{53.4-48.8}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=2.3  

p_v =P(Z>2.3)=1-P(Z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 48.8 at 1% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=53.4 represent the sample mean

\sigma=12 represent the population standard deviation assumed

n=36 sample size  

\mu_o =48.8 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is higher than 48.8, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 48  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 48  

Since we assume that know the population deviation, 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".  

3) Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{53.4-48.8}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=2.3  

4)P-value  

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

p_v =P(Z>2.3)=1-P(Z  

5) Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 48.8 at 1% of signficance.

A farmer can buy two types of plant​ food, mix A and mix B. Each cubic yard of mix A contains 35 pounds of phosphoric​ acid, 15
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the minimum monthly requirements are 840 pounds of phosphoric​ acid, hence:

35 pounds of phosphoric acid mix A + 14 pounds of phosphoric acid mix B ≥ 840 pounds of phosphoric​ acid

35x + 14y ≥ 840

The minimum monthly requirements are 540 pounds of nitrogen, hence:

15 pounds of nitrogen mix A + 18 pounds of nitrogen mix B ≥ 540 pounds of nitrogen

15x + 18y ≥ 540

The minimum monthly requirements are 768 pounds of potash, hence:

16 pounds of potash mix A + 64 pounds of potash mix B ≥ 768 pounds of potash

16x + 64y ≥ 768

Also, x ≥ 0 and y ≥0.

Therefore the equations are:

35x + 14y ≥ 840

15x + 18y ≥ 540

16x + 64y ≥ 768

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0

Plotting with geogebra gives the graph below.

The point are (0,60), (48,0), (18,15), (32,4)

Lakelyn is training for a triathlon she is practising her swiming running and biking skills so far she can swim at a rate of 250
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

It would take Lalelyn bout 3 hours to run the 18m miles, and it will take her

\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t and x +y+z =18 where x, y, and z are the distannce covered swimming, running and bikinr respectifully

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we lisrt out the variables as follows

Swimming speed of Lakelyn = 250 yards every 5 minutes or 250×12 = 3000 yards/hour = 1.7 miles/hr

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

Biking speed = 12 miles/hour

The duration it will take for Lakelyn to run 18 miles is given by

Timee taken to run 18 miles t = (Distance covered)/ (Speed of Lakelyn))

or t = D/S

Substituting the known values of such as

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

From which we have the time taken  to run 18 miles = 18 miles /(6 miles/hour) = 3 hours

should the 18 miles form part of the triathlon then, we have

\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t and x +y+z =18

Where x, y and z are the distance covered Swimming, Running and Biking respectively
