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.

A line is represented by the equation 2x + 3y = 15. What is another way to represent the same line, for solving Y ? Help is need
Lady bird [3.3K]

The another way to represent the same line, for solving y will be:  y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Given equation of the line is:  2x+3y=15

"Solving y" means <u>we need to get</u> y <u>alone in left side.</u> So, we will eliminate all other terms except y from the left side.

First we will <u>subtract 2x </u>from both sides. So, we will get......

2x+3y-2x=15-2x\\ \\ 3y=15-2x

Now, we will <u>divide both sides by 3</u> for getting y alone. So.....

\frac{3y}{3}= \frac{15-2x}{3}\\ \\ y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

Thus, the another way to represent the same line, for solving y will be:  y= 5-\frac{2}{3}x

Amal and Salma share some money in the
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
$315, i cant give a thorough explanation since i did it all in my head but basically amal gets 5 portions of the money and Salma gets 9, meaning she gets 4 more, so if 4 portions is $252 then it cant be any of the others since they are too low or way too high, $315 is the only reasonable one.

The equation y = 2.50x determines the total cost, y, of buying x carnival tickets. Use the drop-down menu to complete the senten
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: The total cost of 15 carnival tickets=$37.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ,

The equation y = 2.50x represents the total cost of buying buying carnival tickets , where x= Number of carnival tickets and y= Total cost.

To find : The cost of 15 carnival tickets.

In the given equation , we substitute the value of x = 15  we get

y = 2.50(15)=2.50\times15=37.5\\\Rightarrow\ y=37.5

Thus , According to the equation, the total cost of 15 carnival tickets= $ 37.50

Hence , the correct answer is $ 37.50 .
