The mean hourly wage for employees in goods-producing industries is currently $24.57 (Bureau of Labor Statistics website, April,

12, 2012). Suppose we take a sample of employees from the manufacturing industry to see if the mean hourly wage differs from the reported mean of $24.57 for the goods-producing industries.
a. State the null and alternative hypothesis we should use to test whether the population mean hourly wage in the manufacturing industry to see if the mean hourly wage differs from the population mean hourly wage in the goods-producing industries.
b. Suppose a sample of 30 employees from the manufacturing industry showed a sample mean of $23.89 per hour. Assume a population standard deviation of $2.40 per hour and compute the p-value.
c. With = .05 as the level of significance, what is your conclusion?
d. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) H0: \bar x = 24.57

Ha: \bar x \neq 24.57

(Two tailed test at 5% significance level)

b) n=30

Mean difference = 23.89-24.57 = - 0.68

Std error of mean = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } \\=\frac{2.40}{\sqrt{30} } \\=0.4382

b) Test statistic t = mean diff/std error = -1.552

df = 30-1 =29

p value=0.0657

c) Since p > 0.05 our signi. level, we accept null hypothesis.

There is no significant difference between the means.

d) Using critical value we find that test statistic is > critical value left

So accept H0

What value of w would make the equation true
Rashid [163]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{12w + 8}{6}  =  \frac{8w - 16}{3 }  \\ 36w + 24 = 48w - 96 \\ 36w - 48w =  - 96 - 24 \\  - 12w =  - 120 \\ w = 10

Piper works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $250 per week, but is paid a commision on t

Piper would make $557.5 in a week in which she made $2050 in sales

<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change. Note that the constant average rates of change can also be regarded as the slope or the gradient

<h3>How to determine the solution to the system?</h3>

A system of linear equations is a collection of at least two linear equations.

In this case, the given parameters are:

Guarantee fee = $250 per week

Commission = 15%

Let the total sales be x and the total amount be y

So, we have:

y = Guarantee fee + Commission * x

This gives

y = 250 + 15% * x

The total sales is $2050

This gives

y = 250 + 15% * 2050

Evaluate

y = 557.5

Hence, Piper would make $557.5 in a week in which she made $2050 in sales

The graph of the function B is shown below. If B(x) = -1, then what is x?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

x = 2, that is B(2) = - 1

From the coordinate diagram, the value of x ( x- axis ) corresponding to the value of y = -1 ( y- axis ) is x = 2

That is the point (2, - 1 )
