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.

True or False:<br> There are an infinite number of answers for this equation:<br> 63 - X = 34
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: No, the answer is 29, this is false.

Step-by-step explanation: 63-x=34

subtract 63 from both sides

34-63= -29

-x=-29

divide both sides by the negative and you get 29

plug in 29 for x, 63-29=34

Hoochie [10]

A = B+32

B = 5C

A = 5C+32

C has d dollars so replace d for c

A = 5d+32

John’s bank account increased in value from last year to those year by 8% to $250. If the account increases by the same percenta
inessss [21]

Answer:

$270

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • The rate of increase is 8%
  • The new amount is $250

We need to determine the value in the next year with the same rate of increase;

Therefore;

250% = 100%

New amount = 100 + 8 = 108%

Therefore;

New amount = (250 × 108)÷ 100

                      = $270

Therefore, the value in the next year is $270
