Production engineers at a company believe that a modified layout on its assembly lines might increase average worker productivit

y (measured in the number of units produced per hour). However, before the engineers are ready to install the revised layout officially across the entire firm’s production lines, they would like to study the modified line’s effects on output. The following data represent the average hourly production output of 6 randomly sampled employees before and after the line was modified:
Employee 1 2 3 4 5 6

Before 43 45 47 46 48 44

After 42 46 48 50 46 51

At the .05 level of significance, can the production engineers conclude that the modified (after) layout has increased worker productivity? Conduct a complete and appropriate hypothesis test.

Answer:

Let x = number of units produced per hour before the line was modified , y = number of units produced per hour after the line was modified.

The null and alternative hypotheses are :

H0: μbefore = μafter

H1: μbefore ≠ μafter

​Step 1: . Calculate the difference (D = y − x) between the two observations on each pair.

See attachment for (D=y-x)

step 2: Calculate ∑D and ∑D2

From table we get ∑D = -10 & ∑D2 = 72

Step 3: Put all the value in test statistic "t"

t = D/√nD^2-D^2/n - 1

t =-10/√6.72-(-10)^2/6-1

t= -10√66.4

= -10/8.1486

= -1.227

Step 4: Compare tcal and ttab

At α = 0.05

t0.05 for 5 d.f. = 3.1634 (two tail test)

Hence | tcal | < t0.05

So, we accept the hypothesis.

So we conclude that the modified (after) layout has not increased worker productivity at 5% level of significance.

5x(x-3)=(x-2)(5x-1)-5??
satela [25.4K]
5x(x-3) = (x-2)(5x - 1) - 5
5x^2 - 15x = 5x^2 - x - 10x + 2 - 5
5x^2 - 15x = 5x^2 - 11x - 3
5x^2 - 11x - 3 - 5x^2 + 15x = 0
4x - 3 = 0
4x = 3
x = 3/4 or 0.75

In the figure, if m∠ABD = 120º, then m∠ADC = ___
Darya [45]
Okay first, use the sin rule (\frac{SinA}{a} =  \frac{SinB}{b}
so \frac{Sin120}{35} * 30 = SinB
sin^-1 this and you get 47.928....this is angle ADB
and as it is on a straight line, 180 - this angle gets ADC
180 - 47.928.... = 132.07

Please help me with this geometry problem
Natalka [10]
You're looking for the volume of the prism.  The dead giveaway there is that you're looking for "cubic" measurement.  Cubic measures are indicators that the volume is being determined, just like "square feet" or inches, etc indicates area is being determined.  The volume for this prism is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height.  In decimal form, 45×30×40=54,000.  But that is in cubic inches and we want cubic feet.  So we will use dimensional analysis to convert that.  Setting up the DA looks like this, keeping in mind that there are 12 cubic inches in 1 cubic foot:  54,000in^3* \frac{1ft*1ft*1ft}{12in*12in*12in}.  The label of cubic inches cancels out leaving us with cubic feet, and doing the division there gives us 54,000/(12*12*12) which is 31.25 cubic feet.
