To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 45 specimens are buried in soil

for a 2-year period. The maximum penetration (in mils) for each specimen is then measured, yielding a sample average penetration of x = 52.4 and a sample standard deviation of s = 4.7. The conduits were manufactured with the specification that true average penetration be at most 50 mils. They will be used unless it can be demonstrated conclusively that the specification has not been met. What would you conclude? (Use α = 0.05.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

The sample has not met the required specification.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the average of the sample suggests that the true average penetration of the sample could be greater than the 50 mils established, we formulate our hypothesis as follow

H_0: The true average penetration is 50 mils

H_a: The true average penetration is > 50 mils

Since we are trying to see if the true average is greater than 50, this is a right-tailed test.

If the <em>level of confidence</em> is α = 0.05 then the z_\alpha score against we are comparing with, is 1.64 (this is because the area under the normal curve N(0;1) to the right of 1.64 is 0.05)

The z-score associated with this test is

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}

where

\bar x = <em>mean of the sample</em>

\mu = <em>average established by the specification</em>

s = <em>standard deviation of the sample</em>

n = <em>size of the sample</em>

Computing this value of z we get z = 3.42

Since z >z_\alpha we can conclude that the sample has not met the required specification.

40x=10x^2+41 <br><br> Identify the number of solutions and their types using the discriminant
nydimaria [60]

Number of solutions: no roots

Type of solution: Not Real

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the number of solutions and their types using the discriminant.

We are given: 40x=10x^2+41\\

Rearranging:

40x-10x^2-41=0\\10x^2-40x+41=0

Discriminant can be found by: b^2-4ac

where b=-40, a=10 and c=41

Putting values:

b^2-4ac\\=(-40)^2-4(10)(41)\\=1600-1640\\=-40\\

So, Discriminant is -40

If the discriminant is less than zero i.e -40 then there are no real roots.

So, Number of solutions: no roots

Type of solution: Not Real

Keywords: discriminant

The fountain in the pond at the public park near Kevin’s house has a pump that recirculates 75 gallons of water in 1/4 of an hou
il63 [147K]

Answer:

300 gallons an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If it pumps 75 gallons in 1/4 of an hour (15 minutes), then if you times that by four to make it a full hour (60 minutes). 75 times 4 is 300.

Find the population of beetles a week later by first finding 6% of 350 and adding it to the original population
Delvig [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

6 percent of 350 is 21. 21 plus 350 is 371, therefore the answer is 371.
