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.

Answer:  The answer is 0.25 miles.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that my friend started walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour and I started 5 minutes after him at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We need to find the number of miles my friend travelled when I started walking.

Since I started 5 minutes after than my friend, so we are to find the distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes.

In 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, distance travelled by my friend = 3 miles.

In 1 minute, distance travelled by my friend is

\dfrac{3}{60}=\dfrac{1}{20}~\textup{miles}.

Therefore, distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes will be

\dfrac{1}{20}\times 5=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25~\textup{miles}.

Thus, the answer is 0.25 miles.

Having trouble with this one can somebody help?

Form equation
y = mx + c
y = (rise/run).x + c
y = (11-1 / 3--2)x + c
y = 2x + c
11 = 2(3) + c
Find c (y-intercept)
11 - 6 = c
c = 5
Final equation of line
y = 2x + 5
Substitute given possible x-values in to find y-values
y = 2(1) + 5 = 7 (1,7)
y = 2(2) + 5 = 9 (2,9)
Therefore d is correct
