The life in hours of a biomedical device under development in the laboratory is known to be approximately normally distributed.

A random sample of 15 devices is selected and found to have an average life of 5311.4 hours and a sample standard deviation of 220.7 hours.
a. Test the hypothesis that the true mean life of a biomedical device is greater than 500 using the P-value approach.
b. Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean.
c. Use the confidence bound found in part (b) to test the hypothesis.

Answer:

a)Null hypothesis:- H₀: μ> 500

  Alternative hypothesis:-H₁ : μ< 500

b) (5211.05 , 5411.7)

95% lower confidence bound on the mean.

c) The test of hypothesis t = 5.826 >1.761 From 't' distribution table at 14 degrees of freedom at 95% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step :-1</u>

Given  a random sample of 15 devices is selected in the laboratory.

size of the small sample 'n' = 15

An average life of 5311.4 hours and a sample standard deviation of 220.7 hours.

Average of sample mean (x⁻) =  5311.4 hours

sample standard deviation (S) = 220.7 hours.

<u>Step :- 2</u>

<u>a) Null hypothesis</u>:- H₀: μ> 500

<u>Alternative hypothesis</u>:-H₁ : μ< 500

<u>Level of significance</u> :- α = 0.95 or 0.05

b) The test statistic

t = \frac{x^{-} - mean}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n-1} } }

t = \frac{5311.4 - 500}{\frac{220.7}{\sqrt{15-1} } }

t = 5.826

The degrees of freedom γ= n-1 = 15-1 =14

tabulated value t =1.761 From 't' distribution table at 14 degrees of freedom at 95% level of significance.

calculated value t = 5.826 >1.761 From 't' distribution table at 14 degrees of freedom at 95% level of significance.

Null hypothesis is rejected at  95% confidence on the mean.

C) <u>The 95% of confidence limits </u>

(x^{-} - t_{0.05} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } ,x^{-} + t_{0.05}\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )

substitute values and simplification , we get

(5311.4 - 1.761 \frac{220.7}{\sqrt{15} } ,5311.4 +1.761\frac{220.7}{\sqrt{15} } )

(5211.05 , 5411.7)

95% lower confidence bound on the mean.

Prove using the notion of without loss of generality that 5x 5y is an odd integer when x and y are integers of opposite parity.
kap26 [50]
The expression is
5x + 5y
We are to prove that it is an odd integer when x and y are integers of opposite parity
First, we can assume
x = 2a (even)
y = 2b + 1(odd)
subsituting
10(a + b) + 5
5 [(2(a + b) + 1]
The term
2(a + b) + 1 is odd and the result of an odd number multiplied by an odd number is odd

The function f ( x ) = 2 ⋅ 5 ^x can be used to represent an exponential growth curve. Which of the following points is NOT on th
12345 [234]

Answer:

Point (2, 20) does not lie on the given curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see explanation:

f(x) = 2. \:  {5}^{x}  \\  \\  \therefore \: f(x) \: at \: x = 2 \\ f(2) = 2. {5}^{2}  = 2.25 = 50 \\  \\ hence \: at \: x = 2 \:  \: f(x) = 50 \\  \therefore \:point (2 \:  \: 20) \: does \: not \: lie \: on \: the \: \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \: curve.
