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 .

The table shows the number of games a chess player won in professional competitions, based on the number of games played.
AfilCa [17]

slope  = (25-4)/(30-10)

 slope = 21/20

slope =21/20  

using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = 21/20 (x-10)

y = 21/20x -21/2 +4

y = 21/20 x -21/2 +8/2

y = 21/20x -13/2


let x=40

y = 21/20 (40) -13/2

y = 42-13/2

y = 35.5 games


If we round the slope to 1

slope =1

using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = 1 (x-10)

y = 1x -10 +4

y =  x -6


let x=40

y = 40-6

y = 34 games

Can I have help solving for x?:))
zvonat [6]

Answer:

24.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to use trigonometry here to find the value of x. The first thing we can see is that we need to work out the hypotenuse. We need to chose whether to use Sin, Cos or Tan. We do that by look at the sides .

→ 'x' is the hypotenuse

→ 12 is opposite

→ The adjacent is the side that doesn't have a numerical value to we look for a formula triangle without adjacent in it

Tan = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

Sin = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

We can see the Sin formula has no adjacent in it so we use that formula. However we want to work out the hypotenuse so we have to rearrange the sin formula to get hypotenuse as the subject so

Sin = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = Opposite ÷ Sin

→ Let's substitute in the values

Hypotenuse = 12 ÷ Sin(29)

Hypotenuse = 24.7519841

So the value of x is 24.8 to 1 decimal place
