A sample of 12 radon detectors of a certain type was selected, and each was exposed to 100 pCI/L of radon. The resulting reading

s were as follows: 105.6, 90.9, 91.2, 96.9, 96.5, 91.3, 100.1, 105.0, 99.6, 107.7, 103.3, 92.4 Does this data suggest that the population mean reading under these conditions differs from 100? Set up an appropriate hypothesis test to answer this question.

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 100  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 100  

t=\frac{98.375-100}{\frac{6.109}{\sqrt{12}}}=-0.921  

p_v =2*P(t_{11}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

Data: 105.6, 90.9, 91.2, 96.9, 96.5, 91.3, 100.1, 105.0, 99.6, 107.7, 103.3, 92.4

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation for this data with the following formulas:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i- \bar X)^2}{n-1}}

The results obtained are:

\bar X=98.375 represent the sample mean  

s=0.6.109 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=12 sample size  

\mu_o =100 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 100pCL/L, the system of hypothesis are :  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 100  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 100  

Since we don't know the population deviation, is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

3) Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{98.375-100}{\frac{6.109}{\sqrt{12}}}=-0.921  

4) P-value  

First we need to find the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=n-1=12-1=11

Since is a two sided test the p value would given by:  

p_v =2*P(t_{11}  

5) Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is not significant different from 100 at 5% of significance.

4. C)If two figures are congruent, then they are similar.
If they are congruent them shape and size are the same and hence they are similar

5. Ratio 4/3 smaller side is 21
Multiply to find large side
4/3×21= 28ft D)

6. Width went from 24 to 3 in divide to get ratio
24/3 =8 now divide the length by 8 to find the postcard length
32/8= 4 in A)

8. If they are similar you need to find the ratio y reduces from 8 is similar to 6 so link those 6/8
This is your ratio you can simplify it to 3/4 now y/6 should also = 3/4
Y/6=3/4
Y=18/4= 4.5 C)

Answer:

D) log₁₀20x⁵-1 and E) log₁₀(2x⁵)

Step-by-step explanation:

5log₁₀x+log₁₀20-log₁₀10

5log₁₀x+log₁₀20-1

log₁₀x⁵+log₁₀20-1

log₁₀20x⁵-1 (Option D)

5log₁₀x+log₁₀20-log₁₀10

log₁₀20x⁵-log₁₀10

log₁₀(20x⁵/10)

log₁₀(2x⁵) (Option E)
