Explain how the graph of a quadratic function relates to

igomit [66]

The equation for a quadratic is as follows:
y = ax^2+bx+c

The first variable “a” determines whether the parabola opens up or down
The squared allows the equation to look like the parabola swoop when graphed.
The c term is the constant term

A food company sells salmon to various customers. The mean weight of the salmon is 37 lb with a standard deviation of 2 lbs. The

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the mean weigth of Salmon is 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount order stores.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean sample of the sum of n random variables is

$\overline{X} = \frac{X_1+X_2+...+X_n}{n}$

If $X_1, ..., X_n$ are indentically distributed and independent, like in the situation of the problem, then the variance of $X_1 + .... + X_n$ will be the sum of the variances, in other words, it will be n times the variance of $X_1$ .

However if we multiply this mean by 1/n (in other words, divide by n), then we have to divide the variance by 1/n², thus $\overkine{X} = \frac{V(X_1)}{n}$ and as a result, the standard deviation of $\overline{X}$ is the standard deviation of $X_1$ divided by $\sqrt{n}$ .

Since the standard deviation of the weigth of a Salmon is 2 lbs, then the standard deviations for the mean weigth will be:

Restaurants: We have boxes with 9 salmon each, so it will be $\frac{2}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{2}{3}$
Grocery stores: Each carton has 49 salmon, thus the standard deviation is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{2}{7}$
Discount outlet stores: Each pallet has 64 salmon, as a result, the standard deviation is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{1}{4}$

We conclude that de standard deivation of the mean weigth of salmon of the types of shipment given is: 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount outlet stores.

Suppose that we want to test the hypothesis with a significance level (alpha) of .05 that the climate has changed since industri

saw5 [17]

Answer: we reject the initial claim

(50. 3802, 51.6198)

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial statement is that the mean temperature throughout history is 50°

This is the null hypothesis and it is denoted as H'

H': u = 50.

After taking a sample of 40 years, we realized that the mean temperature is 51°.

This is the alternative hypothesis, in contradiction to the alternative.

The alternative hypothesis is denoted as H1

H1: u > 50 ( upper tailed).

Sample size (n) = 40

Sample mean (x) = 51

Population standard deviation (σ) = 2

We use a z test to get the value of the test statistics.

We are using a z test because sample size is greater than 30 ( n = 40) and population standard deviation is given.

Z score = x - u/ (σ/√n)

Z score = 51 - 50 / (2/√40)

Z score = 1 / 0.3162

Z score = 3.16

Our level of significance is 5%, and the critical value at this level of significance is 1.645.

By comparing the z score relative to the critical value, since our z score is greater than 1.645, it implies that we are in the rejection region hence we reject the initial claim.

We are to construct a 95% confidence interval for population mean temperature.

For upper limit

u = x + Zα/2 ×(σ/√n)

Where Zα/2 = 1.96 which is the critical value for a two tailed test at 5% level of significance.

For upper limit, we have that

u = 51 + 1.96 × (2/√40)

u = 51 + 1.96 (0.3162)

u = 51 + 0.6198

u = 51.6198.

For lower limit, we have that

u = 51 - 1.96 × (2/√40)

u = 51 - 1.96 (0.3162)

u = 51 - 0.6198

u = 50. 3802.

Hence the 95% confidence level for mean temperature is given as (50. 3802°, 51.6198°)
