GreenBeam Ltd. claims that its compact fluorescent bulbs average no more than 3.24 mg of mercury. A sample of 25 bulbs shows a m

ean of 3.29 mg of mercury.
(a) State the hypotheses for a right-tailed test, using GreenBeam’s claim as the null hypothesis about the mean.

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3.24  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3.24  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts  and data given

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

A right tailed test (sometimes called an upper test) is when the alternative hypothesis statement contains a greater than (>) symbol.

\bar X=3.29 represent the sample mean  

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample selected

\alpha significance level  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for fluorescent bulbs is no more than 3.24 mg of mercury, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3.24  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3.24  

IIf we know the population deviation we can apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-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".

Una limusina cuesta $ 85 para alquilar por 3 horas más un 7% de impuesto sobre las ventas. Cúal es el costo total
Sati [7]

Answer:

$181.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Si cuesta 85 dólares por 3 horas, queremos duplicarlo para obtener la cantidad por 6 horas, que es 170 dólares. Esto es antes del impuesto a las ventas. Puede encontrar la cantidad después del impuesto a las ventas multiplicando 170 por 1.07. Hace esto porque el 100 por ciento del costo sería 170 por 1 y el 7 por ciento es .07, por lo que si desea el 107 por ciento del costo, debe hacerlo 170 por 1.07. Esto funciona porque toma el 7 por ciento de 170 y lo agrega al costo total. También puede hacer esto 170 veces .07. Luego suma el producto a 170. 181,9 es la respuesta final.

English- If it costs 85 dollars for 3 hours we want to double that to get the amount for 6 hours which is 170 dollars. This is before sales tax. You can find the amount after sales tax by multiplying 170 by 1.07. You do this because 100 percent of the cost would be 170 times 1, and 7 percent is .07, so if you want 107 percent of the cost you want to do 170 times 1.07. This works because it takes 7 percent of 170 and adds it to the total cost. You could also do this by 170 times .07. Then add the product to 170. 181.9 is the final answer.

Consider the system of equations.
Harman [31]

The solution to the system of equations x + 2y = 1  and -3x-2y = 5 is:

x  = -3,  y = 2

The given system of equations:

x  +  2y  =  1............(1)

-3x - 2y  =  5..........(2)

This can be written in matrix form as shown:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-3&-2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\5\end{array}\right]

Find the determinant of \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-3&-2\end{array}\right]

\triangle = 1(-2) - 2(-3)\\\triangle = -2+6\\\triangle  = 4

\triangle_x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\5&-2\end{array}\right]\\\triangle_x = 1(-2)-2(5)\\\triangle_x = -2-10\\\triangle_x =-12

\triangle_y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\-3&5\end{array}\right]\\\triangle_y = 1(5)-1(-3)\\\triangle_y = 5 + 3\\\triangle_y =8

x = \frac{\triangle_x}{\triangle} \\x = \frac{-12}{4} \\x = -3

y = \frac{\triangle_y}{\triangle} \\y = \frac{8}{4} \\y = 2

The solution to the system of equations x + 2y = 1  and -3x-2y = 5 is:

x  = -3,  y = 2
