An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 280 engines

and the mean pressure was 6.5
pounds/square inch (psi). Assume the population variance is 0.64. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 6.6 psi. It is believed
that the valve does not perform to the specifications. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal
places

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is t = -2.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 6.6

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} \neq 6.6

Our test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation(square roof of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.

In this problem, we have that:

X = 6.5, \mu = 6.6, \sigma = \sqrt{0.64} = 0.8, n = 280

So

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{6.5 - 6.6}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{280}}}

t = -2.09

The value of the test statistic is t = -2.09

The figure shows two parallel lines KL and NO cut by the transversals KO and LN.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

(A)  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, we have to prove whether the two given triangles are congruent or similar.

Thus, From the figure, ∠3=∠4 (Vertically opposite angles)

Since, KL and NO are parallel lines and KO and LN are transversals, then

measure angle 1= measure angle 5 that is ∠1=∠5(Alternate angles).

Thus, by AA similarity rule, ΔKLM is similar to ΔONM.

Thus, Option A that is Triangle KLM is similar to triangle ONM because measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 4 and measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 5 is correct.

Bill is 2 years older than his brother Will. If the product of their ages is one less than five times the sum of their ages, how
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Will's age = 9 years

Bill's age = 11years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let will age = x

Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older

x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1

Opening brackets

x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1

x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1

x² + 2x = 10x + 9

Collect like terms

x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0

x² - 8x - 9 = 0

Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.

The factors are -9 and +1

x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0

x(x + 1) -9( x +1)

x+1) (x -9) =0

x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0

x = -1 or 9

Age can not be negative

Therefore,

Will's age = 9 years

Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years

Which r–value represents the strongest negative correlation?<br><br> –0.7<br> –0.22<br> 0.38<br> 0.9
inn [45]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation is a  value that describes a relationship between two things  or variables.

Strongest Negative Correlation says that closer a negative correlation to -1, the stronger the relationship between the two variables.

From the options,  we have only two negative values i.e, r= -0.7 and r= -0.22.

We have to find the strongest negative correlation r-value.

By the definition, you can see that -0.7 is very closer to -1 ,

therefore, the  value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.

I need help please good people ​
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x/x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

first off, we start by factorizing.

we start with the numerator  taking x out making it x (x-3) / x^2 - 9

then we factorize the denominator a bit more...making it x (x-3) /  (x-3) (x+3)

as you can tell there is a (x-3) on both sides. so we can cross them out.

x/x+3 is left. try it yourself again so you can understand other questions like this! I hope I could help!
