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)}

Abby rode the Metro bus 4 miles farther than James rode. The sum of their distances traveled is 28 miles. How far did James ride
ohaa [14]
A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12
