It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 65 miles per hour equals 120 feet. A transportat

ion researcher wants to determine if the statement made in the advertisement is false. She randomly test drives 37 small cars at 65 miles per hour and records the braking distance. The sample average braking distance is computed as 111 feet. Assume that the population standard deviation is 21 feet.
Required:
a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test.
b. Calculate the value of the test statistic.
c. Find the p-value. 0.01 p-value.
d. Use α = 0.01 to determine if the average breaking distance differs from 120 feet.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

population mean μ = 120

sample size n = 37

sample mean x = 111

standard deviation = 21

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

The null hypothesis:

\mathbf{ H_o: \mu = 120 }

The alternative hypothesis:

\mathbf{ H_o: \mu \neq 120 }

Since this test is two-tailed,  the value for the test statistics can be computed as:

z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \dfrac{111 - 120}{\dfrac{21}{\sqrt{37}}}

z = \dfrac{-9}{\dfrac{21}{6.08}}

z = -2.605

z = -2.61

Since this is a two-tailed test

P-value = 2(z < -2.61)

From the z table;

P-value = 2(0.0045)

P -value = 0.009

Decision rule: To reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is lesser than the level of significance

Conclusion: We reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is lesser than the level of significance. Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average breaking distance differs from 120 feet.

Which equation is the inverse of y=x^2-36
Ad libitum [116K]
For these kinds of questions you should first solve for x:
y +36 = x^2 ⇒ √y+36 = x 
now the inverse of this equation is:
√x + 36 = y :)))

There are 4 sports stores,9 clothing stores and 6 jewelry stores ina shopping crnter which ratio compares the number of sports s
Pani-rosa [81]

The ratio is  2 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The number of sports store = 4

The number of clothing store  = 9

The number of jewellery stores = 5

To Find :

The ratio of number of sports stores to the total number of stores

Solution:

The ratio of number of sports stores to the total number of stores

= \frac{\text{number of sports store}}{\text{ Total number of stores}}

The total number of stores =  number of sports store + number of clothing store + number of jewellery store

The total number of stores = 4 + 9 + 5

The total number of stores = 18

Now the ratio is

= \frac{4}{18}   or 4  :  8

The ratio after reduction is

=\frac{2}{9} or 2 : 9  or   2 to 9

Find the measure of the missing angle.<br> a<br> 66°
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

24°

Step-by-step explanation:

the total angle, made up from both a and 66°, is a mini-square, as you can see. this represents a right angle of 90°

thus, a and 66° combine to make 90°

a + 66° = 90°

subtract 66 from both sides to get a

a = 24°
