Answer:
a)
The degrees of freedom are given by:
The critical value for this case is
since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
represent the sample mean
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value to verify
represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
represent the p value
Part a
We want to test if the true mean is higher than 17.5, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic is given by:
(1)
And replacing we got:
The degrees of freedom are given by:
The critical value for this case is
since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
Part b
The p value would be given by:
$1620
calculate simple interest ( I) using I = PRT
where P is the amount borrowed, R is rate of interest and T is time in years
note that R = 6% =
= 0.06
I = $9000 × 0.06 × 3 = $1620
Answer:
3 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Figure
To find: Number of 8.5 in. × 11 in. pieces used to cover the floors of a room and a hallway in her dollhouse
Solution:
In the given figure, AC = 22 in.
AB + BC = 22 in.
AB + EF = 22 (As BC = EF being opposite sides of rectangle)
AB + 10 = 22
AB = 22 - 10 = 12 in.
Area of rectangle ABGH = AB × AH = 12 × 5 = 60 square inches
(area of rectangle = length × breadth )
CE = CD + DE = AH + GF (As CD = AH and DE = GF)
CE = 5 + 15 = 20 inches
Area of rectangle BCEF = BC × CE = 10 × 20 = 200 square inches
(BC = EF = 10 in.)
Total area of the figure = Area of rectangle ABGH + Area of rectangle BCEF = 60 + 200 = 260 square inches
Area of pieces of felt = 8.5 × 11
So,
Number of pieces required = Total area of the figure / Area of pieces of felt =
3 pieces
Basically it means judging if something is right.
