Beer shelf life is a problem for brewers and distributors because when beer is stored at room temperature, its flavor deteriorat

es. When the average furfuryl ether content reaches 6 μg per liter, a typical consumer begins to taste an unpleasant chemical flavor. At α = .05, would the following sample of 12 randomly chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold? 8.92 6.99 5.54 5.73 6.38 5.51 6.45 7.50 8.48 5.56 6.90 6.46

Answer:

As the calculated value of t =2.1698 is greater than t (0.05,11) = 1.796 reject H0 . It means  chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0 u≤ 6 ug     Ha : u > 6 ug

The significance level ∝ = 0.05

The test statistic used is

t = X` - u / s/ √n

which if H0 is true, has the students' t test with n-1 = 11 degrees of freedom.

The critical region t > t (0.05,11) = 1.796

We compute the t value from the data

Xi               Xi²

8.92         79.5664

6.99          48.8601

5.54          30.6916

5.73           32.8329

6.38           40.7044

5.51            30.3601

6.45           41.6025

7.50           56.25

8.48           71.9104

5.56          30.9136

6.90          47.61

<u>6.46          41.7316          </u>

<u>80.42         553.0336</u><u>      </u>

<u />

Now x` = ∑x/ n = 80.42/12 = 6.70

S²= 1/n-1 ( ∑(xi- x`)²= 1/11 ( 553.034 - (80.42)²/12)

= 1/11 (553.034-538.948) = 1.2805

s= 1.1316

Putting the values in the test statistics

t = X` - u / s/ √n = 6.70- 6 / 1.1316 / √12

= 2.1698

The critical region t > t (0.05,11) = 1.796

As the calculated value of t =2.1698 is greater than t (0.05,11) = 1.796 reject H0 . It means  chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold.

A hypothesis test has a significance level of 10%. Explain what this significance level represents.
beks73 [17]
In statistical methods, the significance level is a value that is used as a criterion for rejecting a null hypothesis. It used by first looking at the differences between the experimental results and from there the null hypothesis would be determined. Then, we assume that the null hypothesis is true, the probability of the differences is computed by using statistical tools. If the computed probability is less than or equal to the value of the significance level, then you conclude that the null hypothesis should be rejected and that the results are statistically significant. Usually, a significance level of 1% or 5% is used.

A dog won a race at the local fair by running 5 1/4 miles exactly 2 hours . At this constant rate , how long does it take it to
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

6 3/10 divided by 5 1/4 is 1.2. So 6 3/10 is 1.2 times more than 5 1/4. We then take the 1.2 and multiply it by 2 hours because we need to find what's 1.2 times more than 2 hours. So then you get 2.4 hours.

Which of the following are incorrect expressions for slope?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Option B and C are correct.

\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}

\frac{run}{rise} are the expression incorrect for slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the change in the dependent variable  relative to the change in the dependent variable

or the ratio of the horizontal changes to vertical changes between any two points on the graph of the line.

The vertical changes between any two points is rise

The horizontal changes between any two points is run.

Formula for slope is given by:

For any two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2)

then slope is:

\text{Slope} =\frac{rise}{run}= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

or we can write this as:

Δy = y_2-y_1

Δx = x_2-x_1

⇒\text{Slope} = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}

Therefore, the expression which are incorrect for slope  are;

\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}

\frac{run}{rise}
