The American Water Works Association reports that the per capita water use in a single-family home is 63 gallons per day. Legacy

Ranch is a relatively new housing development. The builders installed more efficient water fixtures, such as low-flush toilets, and subsequently conducted a survey of the residences. Twenty-eight owners responded, and the sample mean water use per day was 60 gallons with a standard deviation of 8.9 gallons per day. At the 0.01 level of significance, is that enough evidence to conclude that residents of Legacy Ranch use less water on average

Answer:

t=\frac{60-63}{\frac{8.9}{\sqrt{28}}}=-1.784    

df=n-1=28-1=27  

p_v =P(t_{(27)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 63 gallons per day at 1% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=60 represent the sample mean

s=8.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=28 sample size  

\mu_o =68 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 63, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 63  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 63  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{60-63}{\frac{8.9}{\sqrt{28}}}=-1.784    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=28-1=27  

Since is a one side lower test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(27)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 63 gallons per day at 1% of signficance.

If the sales tax rate is 7.25% in California, then how much tax should a merchant charge in San Francisco for the sale of a $15
Semmy [17]
$15 x .0725 = 1.0875 which we have to round to $1.09
Notice how I changed the  7.25% to a decimal .0725 by moving it back two places.

There are 100 men and 100 seats, and each person has a pre-assigned seat. However, the first person is randomly assigned (either
olganol [36]

Answer:

1 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

- First observe that the fate of the last person is determined the moment either the first or the last seat is selected! This is because the last person will either get the first seat or the last seat. Any other seat will necessarily be taken by the time the last guy gets to 'choose'.

- Since at each choice step, the first or last is equally probable to be taken, the last person will get either the first or last with equal probability: 1/2

- Armed with the key observation, we see that the event that the last person's correct seat is free, is exactly the same as the event that the first person's seat was taken before the last person's seat.

- Well, each person had to make a random choice, was equally likely to choose the first person's seat or the last person's seat - the random chooser exhibits absolutely no preference towards a particular seat. This means that the probability that one seat is taken before the other must be 1/2

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 13.4 in and the height of the pyramid is 7.6
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

28.4in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the square based pyramid = L²H/3 where;

L is the length of a side of the square base

H is the height of the prism

Given

Perimeter of the base = 13.4 in

Height of the pyramid = 7.6in

First we need to get the length of the square base

Perimeter of a square = 4L

13.4 = 4L

L = 13.4/4

L = 3.35 in

Next is to find the required volume of the pyramid

V = L²H/3

V =  3.35²(7.6)/3

V = 85.291/3

V =  28.4 in³

Hence the volume of the pyramid to nearest tenth is 28.4in³
