In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa

l-size towels were used, with four sections of towels tested per brand. The absorbency rating data follow. At a level of significance, does there appear to be a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water?

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

<em>The significance level is 0.05.</em>

<em>The data is:</em>

<em>Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89</em>

<em>Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99</em>

<em>Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76</em>

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91

The MSB is then:

s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172

Now we calculate the F statistic as:

F=MSB/MSE=172/23.78=7.23

The degrees of freedom of the numerator are:

dfn=a-1=3-1=2

The degrees of freedom of the denominator are:

dfd=N-a=3*4-3=12-3=9

The P-value of F=7.23, dfn=2 and dfd=9 is:

P-value=P(F>7.23)=0.01342

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

I need this assignment done will give brainliest and extra points.
Travka [436]

Answer:

1a.2.5x³-2.25x²+3.5x-1.5

1b.No, they aren't equal. (worked out the product for both and they weren't equal, see below)

2a.-2x⁶+7x⁴+3x³-3x²+11x+20

2b.Yes. When multiplying, it doesn't matter which term/expression you put first

3. The equation has two solutions: x=-2, x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (a)

(0.5x-0.25)(5x²-2x+6)

0.5x(5x²-2x+6)-0.25(5x²-2x+6)

2.5x³-x²+3x -1.25x²+0.5x-1.5

2.5x³-2.25x²+3.5x-1.5

(b)

(0.25x-0.5)(5x²-2x+6)

0.25x(5x²-2x+6)-0.5(5x²-2x+6)

1.25x³-0.5x²+1.5x -2.5x²+x-3

1.25x³-3x²+2.5x-3

This is not equal to our answer for 1(a), so we can see they're not the same.

2(a)

(-2x³+x-5)(x³-3x-4)

-2x³(x³-3x-4) +x(x³-3x-4) -5(x³-3x-4)

-2x⁶+6x⁴+8x³ +x⁴-3x²-4x -5x³+15x+20

-2x⁶+7x⁴+3x³-3x²+11x+20

(b)

Yes. When multiplying, it doesn't matter which term/expression you put first: xy=yx. For example, 2(3)=6 and 3(2)=6.

3

2x²-2x-12=0

(divide each term by 2)

x²-x-6=0

(x+2)(x-3)=0

Anything multiplies by zero is zero, so either x+2=0 or x-3=0

If x+2=0, x=-2. If x-3=0, x=3.

The equation has two solutions: x=-2, x=3

The figure shows a carpeted room. How many square feet of the room are carpeted?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Hello there, the answer would be

Step-by-step explanation:

We cut the figure into two different shapes.

Since on one side it is 4 feet and the height is seven, we cut right there.

So the bottom figure is now 4 x 5 = 20

The top figure is cut with 3 height left, So all we do is just multiply.

8 x 3 = 24.

20+24=44.

Find the perimeter of the figure. round all figures to the nearest hundredth Place
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a figure is found by adding the sides of all the figures. The figure has sides 13 and 9. Its height is 4 so each of those sides is about 4 feet. So the perimeter is 13+9+4+4 = 30

C is the best solution.
