Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1/12 probability that volume 1 will be correctly put in position 1.  

If we assume that volume 1 is right, then since there are then only 11 books left to choose from, there is then a 1/11 prob that volume 2 will be in position 2.  And so on. By the same reasoning there is 1/10 prob that volume 3 is then right, 1/9 prob for volume 4, 1/8 prob for volume 5, and 1/7 prob for volume 6,

and 1/6 prob for volume 7,and 1/5 prob for volume 8,and 1/4 prob for volume 9,and 1/3 prob for volume 10,and 1/2 prob for volume 11,and 1/1 prob for volume 12.  

So the probability is 1 /(12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1 / 479,001,600 ....

Answer:

(a) Test statistic is -2.85 and p-value is 0.0022

(b) Reject the null hypothesis. The population mean of dissolved oxygen content is not equal to 10 mg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: mu equals 10

Ha: mu not equals 10

The test is a two-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is expressed using not equal to

(a) Test statistic (z) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ (sd/√n) = (9.14 - 10) ÷ (2/√44) = -0.86 ÷ 0.302 = -2.85

Cumulative area of the test statistic = 0.9978

p-value = 2(1 - 0.9978) = 2(0.0022) = 0.0044

(b) The critical value using 0.02 significance level is 2.422. For a two-tailed test, the region of no rejection of the test statistic lies between -2.422 and 2.422.

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -2.85 falls outside the region bounded by the critical values -2.422 and 2.422.

The population mean of dissolved oxygen content is not equal to 10 mg/L
