A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 436.0 gram setting. It

is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 40 bag sample had a mean of 429.0 grams. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled? Assume the standard deviation is known to be 23.0. What is the conclusion?

Answer:

We conclude that the machine is under filling the bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 436.0 gram

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 429.0 grams

Sample size, n = 40

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 23.0 grams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 436.0\text{ grams}\\H_A: \mu < 436.0\text{ grams}

We use one-tailed(left) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{429 - 436}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{40}} } = -1.92

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.64

Since,  

z_{stat} < z_{critical}

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, we conclude that the machine is under filling the bags.

The value of the cumulative standardized normal distribution at z is 0.8770. what is the value of​ z?
Vinvika [58]
<span>The value of z is 0.8770. This answer was derived from information in the question, which states that the value of z is 0.8770. Granted, I don't understand what is meant by "cumulative standardized normal distribution." I only passed statistics because the professor felt sorry for me.</span>

15 and 17 pls.. 15 points!!!!
Maurinko [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

15) 50 ÷ 2 = 25

17) Mean = 301, Mode = 40-50

(10+20) ÷ 2 = 15, (20+30) ÷ 2 = 25, (30+40) ÷ 2 = 35

(40+50) ÷ 2 = 45, (50+60) ÷ 2 = 55, (60+70) ÷ 2 = 65

(70+80) ÷ 2 = 75

• 15×4 = 60, 25×8 = 200, 35×10 = 350, 45×12 = 540

55×10 = 550, 65×4 = 260, 75×2 = 150

Mean = (60+200+350+540+550+260+150) ÷ 7

= 2110 ÷ 7

= 301.4285....

= 301

Mode : the highest frequency

Da<br> A<br> Solve the equation 2x^2+3=0
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = ±i(√6 / 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving quadratics

<u>Algebra II</u>

Imaginary root i

  • √-1 = i

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

2x² + 3 = 0

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3 on both sides:                        2x² = -3
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                  x² = -3/2
  3. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    x = ±√(-3/2)
  4. Simplify:                                                                                                             x = ±i(√6 / 2)
