A credit reporting agency claims that the mean credit card debt in a town is greater than $3500. A random sample of the credit c

ard debt of 20 residents in that town has a mean credit card debt of $3600 and a standard deviation of $391. At α=0.10, can the credit agency’s claim be supported, assuming this is a normally distributed data set?

Answer:

Claim is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim : A credit reporting agency claims that the mean credit card debt in a town is greater than $3500.

H_0:\mu \leq 3500\\H_a:\mu = 3500

n = 20

Since n <30

So we will use t test

Formula : t =\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

s = standard deviation = 391

x = 3600

n = 20

t =\frac{3600-3500}{\frac{391}{\sqrt{20}}}

t =1.14

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 20-1 = 19

α=0.10

So, using t table

t_({\frac{\alpha}{2},d.f.}) = 1.72

t critical > t calculated

So we accept the null hypothesis

Hence we reject the claim that the mean credit card debt in a town is greater than $3500.

Solve the system of equations by transforming a matrix representing the system of equation into reduced row echelon form.
Gekata [30.6K]

Take the augmented matrix,

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&1&-3&-20\\1&2&1&-3\\1&-1&5&19\end{array}\right]

Swap the row 1 and row 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\2&1&-3&-20\\1&-1&5&19\end{array}\right]

Add -2(row 1) to row 2, and -1(row 1) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&-5&-14\\0&-3&4&22\end{array}\right]

Add -1(row 2) to row 3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&-5&-14\\0&0&9&36\end{array}\right]

Multiply through row 3 by 1/9:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&-5&-14\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

Add 5(row 3) to row 2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&-3&0&6\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

Multiply through row 2 by -1/3:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&2&1&-3\\0&1&0&-2\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

Add -2(row 2) and -1(row 3) to row 1:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-3\\0&1&0&-2\\0&0&1&4\end{array}\right]

So we have \boxed{x=-3,y=-2,z=4}.
