Fluoxetine, a generic anti-depressant, claims to have, on average, at least 20 milligrams of active ingredient. An independent l

ab tests a random sample of 80 tablets and finds the mean content of active ingredient in this sample is 18.7 milligrams with a standard deviation of 5 milligrams. If the lab doesn't believe the manufacturer's claim, what is the approximate p-value for the suitable test

Answer:

t=\frac{18.7-20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}}=-2.326    

df=n-1=80-1=79  

p_v =P(t_{(79)}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=18.7 represent the sample mean for the content of active ingredient

s=5 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample  

n=80 sample size  

\mu_o =20 represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean for the active agent is at least 20 mg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 20  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 20  

The statistic would be:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Now we can calculate the statistic:

t=\frac{18.7-20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}}=-2.326    

P value

The degrees of freedom are calculated like this:

df=n-1=80-1=79  

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

p_v =P(t_{(79)}

ASAP!! PLEASE I NEED HELP!!

Answer:

If the length is 50 yd, the width is  60 yd.

If the length is 40 yd, the width is  75 yd.

If the length is 48 yd, the width is  62.5 yd.

If the length is 36 yd, the width is 83.33 yd.

The length and the width vary inversely because when the length decreased the width increased

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The area of any rectangle A = L × W, where</em>

  • L is its length
  • W is its width

<em>The relation is direct proportion if the quotient of two quantity equals constant  (y/x = k, when y and x increased) and inverse if the product of the two quantity equals constant (yx = k, when x increased y decreased and vice versa)  </em>

∵ The area of the rectangular plot of land = 3000 yards²

∴ A = 3000

∵ Its length = 50 yards

∴ L = 50

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 50 × W

→ Divide both sides by 50 to find W

∴ 60 = W

∴ The width of the plot is 60 yards

∵ Its length = 40 yards

∴ L = 40

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 40 × W

→ Divide both sides by 40 to find W

∴ 75 = W

∴ The width of the plot is 75 yards

∵ Its length = 48 yards

∴ L = 48

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 48 × W

→ Divide both sides by 48 to find W

∴ 62.5 = W

∴ The width of the plot is 62.5 yards

∵ Its length = 36 yards

∴ L = 36

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 36 × W

→ Divide both sides by 36 to find W

∴ 83. 33 = W

∴ The width of the plot is  83.33 yards

∵ The area is a constant value

∵ A = LW

→ The product of L and W equals the constant value, can you discover

   that from the values of L and W

∴  The length and the width of the rectangular plot vary inversely

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: 60 devil offspring.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of devils in the Island is 80.

Out of this 80, 75% are offspring from the two previous breeding seasons.

This percentage in a whole number is what the question requires.

The number of offspring from previous seasons is:

= Percent of offspring from previous seasons * Total number of devils

= 75% * 80

= 60 devil offspring.
