To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine foun

d in all commercial brands of cigarettes. A new cigarette has recently been marketed. The FDA tests on this cigarette gave a mean nicotine content of 28.5 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.8 milligrams for a sample of n = 9 cigarettes. The FDA claims that the mean nicotine content exceeds 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette, and their stated reliability is 95%. Do you agree?

Answer:

We conclude that  the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 31.7 milligrams

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 28.5 milligrams

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s =  2.8 milligrams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 31.7\text{ milligrams}\\H_A: \mu < 31.7\text{ milligrams}

We use One-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{28.5 - 31.7}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9}} } = -3.429

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 8 degree of freedom } = -1.860

Since,                  

t_{stat} < t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that  the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

10.) Kelly is flying a kite to which the angle of elevation is
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

61.08m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let " l " be the length of the rope and " θ " the angle at which it is raised. In other words:

  • l = 65m
  • θ = 70°

As you can see, there has been made a right angle triangle. So:

sin70 =  \frac{h}{l}  \\ h = l \times sin70 \\ h = 65 \times 0.9397 = 61.08 \\ h = 61.08

So the kite is approximately 61.08m above the ground.

In order to find the sin70° i used a calculator.
