Statistics In the manual “How to Have a Number One the Easy Way,” it is stated that a song “must be no longer than three minutes

and thirty seconds (210 seconds)”. A simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 252.5 seconds. Assume that the standard deviation of song lengths is 54.5 sec. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

Answer:

We conclude that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 252.5 seconds.

Assume that the standard deviation of song lengths is 54.5 sec.

Let \mu = <u><em>population mean length of the songs</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 210 seconds      {means that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean smaller than or equal to 210 seconds}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 210 seconds      {means that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z-test statistics </u>because we know about population standard deviation;

                              T.S.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean length of songs = 252.5 seconds

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 54.5 seconds

            n = sample of current hit songs = 40

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{252.5-210}{\frac{54.5}{\sqrt{40} } }

                                   =  4.932

The value of z-test statistics is 4.932.

Now, at 0.05 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 4.932 > 1.645, so <u><em>we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

I need help finding the area of this shape can you please help
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: 139.27

Step-by-step explanation:

So let find the area of the black swuare the length is 10 and the widith is 10, using bxh the area is 100. Now let find the aea of the semi-circle. The area of a fill circle is pi radius squared so a semi circle area will be 1/2( pi radius squared). The radius is 5 so we can calculate 1/2 of 25 pi equal = 39.27. Now let add the areas: 100+39.27=139.27.

A computer can sort x objects in t seconds, as modeled by the function
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

  36 objects

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the value of x when t=9, so you're solving ...

  9 = 0.007x^2 +0.003x

  9 = 0.007(x^2 + 3/7x)

From here, we observe that an approximation is probably sufficient.

 9/0.007 = x(x +3/7) . . . . . the expression on the right is nearly x^2

  x ≈ 3/√.007 ≈ 35.9 ≈ 36

We can check:

  .007(36)(36 3/7) = 9.18

  .007(35)(35 3/7) = 8.68

To keep the computer busy for 9 seconds, it needs to sort 36 objects.
