The weight of the Alis dog is \fbox{\bf48} pounds.

Further explanation:

Consider the weight of the Alis dog as x pounds and weight of the cat as y pounds.

Since, the weight of the Alis dog is 8 times the weight of the cat. It can be written as follows:

x=8y                                                                     ......(1)

Now, the total weight of the cat and dog are given as 54 pounds. It can be written as follows:

x+y=54                                                                 ......(2)

From equation (1), substitute 8y for x in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}8y+y&=54\\9y&=54\\y&=\dfrac{54}{9}\\y&=6\end{aligned}

Thus, the weight of the cat is 6 pounds.

Substitute 6 for y in equation (1) to obtain the weight of Alis dog as follows:

\begin{aligned}x&=8(6)\\&=48\end{aligned}

Thus, the weight of the Alis dog is 48 pounds.

The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=5.5\\\\H_a:\mu< 5.5

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the population percentage of SiO2 is signficantly different from 5.5%.  

P-value = 0.000004.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the population percentage of SiO2 is signficantly different from 5.5%.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=5.5\\\\H_a:\mu< 5.5

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=16.

The sample mean is M=5.21.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=0.26.

We can calculate the standard error as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.26}{\sqrt{16}}=0.065

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{5.21-5.5}{0.065}=\dfrac{-0.29}{0.065}=-4.462

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.000004) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the population percentage of SiO2 is signficantly different from 5.5%.

For each statement, select the correct null hypothesis, H0, and alternative hypothesis, Ha, in symbolic form.1. A certain type o
Rashid [163]

Answer:

F.) H0:μ=4.55, Ha:μ≠4.55

A.) H0:μ=115, Ha:μ<115

H0:μ=69 , Ha:μ>69

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypothesis are used in hypothesis testing.

Generally, both hypothesis negatives each other, with the alternative being the opposite of the null hypothesis.

1)the mean value of the population is 4.55 ; the researcher aims to test if the mean value differs from thus value, hence, Alternative ; μ ≠ 4.55

2.) The mean resting heart rate is said to be 115 ; this is the null claim. The reaesrch aims to test if heart rate slows down with age. Hence, the alternative will be to show that mean rate lesser Than 115 as claimed (μ < 115)

3.) Theean height of the population is claimed to be 69. Researcher aims to test if some people within the population have mean height abive this said height. (μ > 69)
