Answer:

The values are missing in the question. They are : 16.3,12.8,13,32.2,28.1,34.4,46.4,53,15.4,18.2

Step-by-step explanation:

16.3,12.8,13,32.2,28.1,34.4,46.4,53,15.4,18.2

We calculate sample mean and std deviation from given data.

Sample Mean, $ {\overset{-}X} =\frac{\Sigma (X)}{n} $   =269.8/10=26.98

Sample Variance, $s^2= \frac{\Sigma(X-{\overset{-}X})^2}{(n-1)}$    =1859.496/9=206.610667

Sample std dev,s=$\sqrt{s^2}$=√206.610667≈14.373958

We want to test two tailed hypothesis:

$H_0$ : σ=12

$H_2$ : σ≠12

Given: s=14.373958⇒ $s^2$ =206.610667,n=10

Significance level, a=0.1 Degrees of freedom, df=n-1=9

Since this is two tailed test, we need area of α=0.1 on either side of critical value. This means area of 0.05 on right of positive critical value.

Critical values are given by $ X_{1-\alpha/2}^2 =X_{0.95}^2 \text{ and}\ X_{1-\alpha/2}^2 =X_{0.95}^2 $  with 9 degrees of freedom.

We can use chi-square table or following excel commands:

CHISQ. INV(0.95,9)=3.32511284307

CHISQ. INV (0.05,9)=16.9189776046

Critical Values, $X_L^2$=3.325  and $X_R^2$=16.919

Since this is two tailed test, the decision rule or rejection criteria is:

Reject null hypothesis if test statistic is less than or equal to left critical value OR more than or equal to right critical value, i.e,

Reject $H_0$   if $x^2$≤3.325  OR $x^2$≥16.919

Test statistic is given by $X^2=\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\sigma^2}$ =((9)*206.610667)/144=12.913167    

Test statistic, $x^2$=12.913

since test statistic is between two critical values, we (do not reject $H_0$) (i.e, we fail to reject $H_0$.

Conclusion: There is (not sufficient) evidence to conclude that standard deviation is not equal to 12 .

Alternatively, we can use p-value approach. The decision rule or rejection criteria is: reject null hypothesis if p-value is less than or equal to significance level (α), i.e, reject $H_0$ if p-value ≤0.1

P-value is twice the (smaller) tail area of test statistic because this is two tailed test. We can use excel function to find this. 2*M IN (CHISQ.DIST (12.913167,9,  TRUE ) 1-CHISQ.DIST 12.913167,9,  TRUE ) =0.333149809868

P-value =0.3331

since p-value is greater than significance level (α),we (do not reject $H_0$) (i.e, we fail to reject $H_0$).

Conclusion: There is (not sufficient) evidence to conclude that standard deviation is different from 12 .

What is the frequency of the graph of y = 1/3 sin(2x)?
vovangra [49]

Given:

The sine function is:

y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)

To find:

The frequency of the graph of given function.

Solution:

If a sine function is defined as:

y=A\sin(Bx+C)+D

Then, the frequency of the sine function is:

f=\dfrac{B}{2\pi}

We have,

y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)

Here, B=2. So, the frequency of the given function is:

f=\dfrac{2}{2\pi}

f=\dfrac{1}{\pi}

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Blababa [14]

You first add all the angles together.

25 + 65 + 90 = 180°

The total angle measurement of a triangle is 180°. Therefore, it is possible to only make one triangle.

You own Everything's Coming Up Roses flower shop. Your employee makes 4 deliveries per hour. The distance between the shop and t
qaws [65]
We have 4 deliveries ( 12 1/3 , 8 3/4, 17 2/8 and 23 2/3 miles ) and also the final delivery : 10 5/10 miles = 10 1/2 miles.
We have to add up all the deliveries and to divide the result by 5:
( 12 1/3 + 8 3/4 + 17 1/4 + 23 2/3 + 10 1/2 ) : 5 =
= 72 1/2 : 5 = 72.5 : 5 = 14.5 = 14 1/2
Answer: The average distance for all segments of this trip is 14 1/2 miles.
