A personnel director in a particular state claims that the mean annual income is the same in one of the​ state's counties​ (Coun

ty A) as it is in another county​ (County B). In County​ A, a random sample of 18 residents has a mean annual income of $ 40 comma 400 and a standard deviation of $ 8700. In County​ B, a random sample of 8 residents has a mean annual income of $ 39 comma 200 and a standard deviation of $ 6000. At alphaequals0.10​, answer parts​ (a) through​ (e). Assume the population variances are not equal. Assume the samples are random and​ independent, and the populations are normally distributed.

Answer:

a) The hypothesis that the mean annual income is the same could not be rejected. There is no enough evidence to claim they are different.

b) The critical values for this two-sided test are t=±1.711.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>(a) Identify the claim and state  H0  and  Ha. </em>

<em> Which is the correct claim​ below?</em>

<em>(b) Find the critical​ value(s) and identify the rejection​ region(s). </em>

<em> Enter the critical​ value(s) below.</em>

We have an hypothesis test on the difference of two means.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_a-\mu_b=0\\\\H_a: \mu_a-\mu_b\neq 0

The claim of the alternative hypothesis is that the mean annual income is different in County A and County B.

The null hypothesis is that the mean annual income is equal in both counties.

The significance level is α=0.10.

The sample from County A has a mean of S40,400, a s.d. of $8,700 and a sample size of 18 residents.

The sample from County B has a mean of S39,200, a s.d. of $6,000 and a sample size of 8 residents.

The standard error of the difference of means is:

\sigma_d=\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_a^2}{n_a}+\frac{\sigma_b^2}{n_b}}=\sqrt{\frac{8700^2}{18}+\frac{6000^2}{8}}=\sqrt{8705000}=2950

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n_a+n_b-2=18+8-2=24

Then, the test statistic is:

t=\frac{\Delta M-\Delta \mu}{\sigma_d} =\frac{(40,400-39,200)-0}{2950} =\frac{1200}{2950}=0.407

For a statistic t=0.407, and df=24, the P-value is P=0.69. As the P-value is bigger than the significance level, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

If we would use the critial value approach, we would have to calculate the critical values for t, for df=24, two sided test and α=0.10.

The critical values, looking in a table, are t=1.711.

What key features of a quadratic graph can be identified and how are the graphs affected when constants or coefficients are adde
leonid [27]

The key features of a quadratic graph that can identified are; x and y intercepts, axis of symmetry and vertex

<h3>Keys features of a quadratic graph</h3>

The key features are the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, axis of symmetry, and the vertex.

If we add units we can move this function upwards, downwards leftwards and rightwards.

  • If we add a positive number to the x-variable, then the graph will move to the left.
  • If we add a negative number to the x-variable, then the graph will move to the right.
  • If we add a positive number to y-variable, then the graph will move upwards.
  • If we add a negative number to y-variable, then the graph will move downwards.

Hence, if we compare the rules we use before with linear function, there's no distinction between horizontal and vertical movements, because if we add to x-variable, then y-variable will be also affected.

What is the approximate circumference of a circle with a diameter of 14 inches, rounded to the nearest inch? (Use 3.14 as an app
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

44 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

pi = 3.14 (in our case)

circumference = diameter x pi

circ. = 14 x 3.14, which equals to 43.96

round that and you get 44 in.

A company makes pens. They sell each pen for $99.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a) Profit = 84000

b) at break even number of pens sold = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Total revenue generated = 99 * 1000

Total revenue generated = 99000

Total cost on making the pen  = 11 * 1000

Total cost on making the pen = 11000

Total cost including the initial cost = 11000 + 4000

Total cost including the initial cost =  15000

Profit = 99000 - 15000

Profit = 84000

Break even is when the cost are equal to Revenue thus no profit or loss

Revenue = total cost (break even)

9x = 1x + 4000

9x - x = 4000

8x = 4000

x = 500

At breakeven Revenue = 9 * 500

At breakeven Revenue =  4500

since one pen is sold at 99 therefore at break even number of pens sold = 4500/99 = 45.45( to 2 decimal place)

at break even number of pens sold = 46
