1. A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 7 ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the d

ischarge amounts in 13 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and the sample standard deviation were 7.08 ounces and 0.22 ounces, respectively. If we assume that the true amounts are normally distributed, is there enough evidence, at the 0.1 level of significance, to conclude that the true mean discharge, µ, differs from 7 ounces? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places.

Answer:

No, at the 0.1 level of significance, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the true mean discharge, µ, differs from 7 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 7 ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 13 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded.

The sample mean and the sample standard deviation were 7.08 ounces and 0.22 ounces, respectively.

<em>Let </em>\mu<em> = true mean discharge amount</em>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 7 ounces  {means that the true mean discharge, µ, does not differs from 7 ounces}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_a : \mu \neq 7 ounces  {means that the true mean discharge, µ, differs from 7 ounces}

The test statistics that will be used here is<u> One-sample t test statistics</u> because we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                T.S.  =  \frac{\bar X -\mu}{{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where,  \bar X = sample mean discharge amount = 7.08 ounces

              s = sample standard deviation = 0.22 ounces

              n = sample of coffee cups = 13

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{7.08-7 }{{\frac{0.22}{\sqrt{13} } } }  ~ t_1_2

                               =  1.311

<em>Now at 0.1 significance level, the t table gives critical values between -1.782 and 1.782 at 12 degree of freedom for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t so we insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the the true mean discharge, µ, does not differs from 7 ounces.

Below are the few reasons:

- There may have been a physical basis and yet the placebo can seem like it worked due to the patients mindset that they will get better.

A point (3, –2) is reflected across the x-axis followed by a reflection across the y-axis. Find the image of the point after the
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

D. (-3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original point is (3, -2)

The rule for reflecting across the x-axis is (x, y) -> (x, -y)

(3, -2) -> (3, 2)

The rule for reflecting across the y-axis is (x, y) -> (-x, y)

(3, 2) -> (-3, 2)

You just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each. Because one of the coins is more collectible, you believe that its value w
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each.

You believe that first coin's value will increase at a rate of 7.1% and second coin's value 6.5% per year.

We have to calculate the first coin's value after 15 years by using the formula

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{n}

Where A = Future value

           P = Present value

           r = rate of interest

           n = time in years

Now we put the values

A=670(1+\frac{7.1}{100})^{15}

A=670(1+0.071)^{15}

A=670(1.071)^{15}

A = (670)(2.797964)

A = 1874.635622 ≈ $1874.64

Now we will calculate the value of second coin.

A=670(1+\frac{6.5}{100})^{15}

A=670(1+0.6.5)^{15}

A=670(1.065)^{15}

A = 670 × 2.571841

A = $1723.13

The difference of the value after 15 years = 1874.64 - 1723.13 = $151.51

The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.
