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.

What is the slope <br> y = (34/4)x + 3
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The slope is 17 / 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Find the values of m and b using the form y=mx+b.

m=17 / 2

b=3

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: 17 / 2

y-intercept: 3

The side AB measures option 2. \sqrt{20}} units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The coordinates of the given triangle ABC are A (4, 5), B (2, 1), and C (4, 1).

The sides of the triangle are AB, BC, and CA. We need to determine the length of AB.

To calculate the distance between two points, we use the formula d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}.

where (x_{1},y_{1}) are the coordinates of the first point and (x_{2},y_{2}) are the coordinates of the second point.

Step 2:

For A (4, 5) and B (2, 1), (x_{1},y_{1}) = (4, 5) and (x_{2},y_{2}) = (2, 1). Substituting these values in the distance formula, we get

d=\sqrt{\left(2-4\right)^{2}+\left(1-5}\right)^{2}} = \sqrt{\left(2\right)^{2}+\left(4}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{20}}.

So the side AB measures \sqrt{20}} units long which is the second option.

A spherical tank has a radius of 6 yards. It is filled with a liquid the cost $7.15 per cubic yard.
mote1985 [20]
We have two questions, but we need to find the volume of the spherical tank first.
So the formula we will use to find the volume is:
(4/3)πr³=V
Let's fill in the information we have and solve. We will be using 3.14 for pi.
(4/3)(3.14)6³
(4/3)(3.14)(216)
4.1867×216
I'll be using the repeating decimal for 4.1867, I rounded to 7, but there is a repeating 6.
904.32
So the volume is 904.32 yards³ (or 904.78 if using the full pi)
We have to multiply the volume by 7.15.
904.32×7.15
6,465.89
It will cost $6,465.89 to fill the tank with the liquid.

-BARSIC- [3]
Answer is 3/16 cup
She used 3/8 cup of olives on one pizza
She is going to use 1/2 of 3/8 cup for 1/2 pizza
1/2 of 3/8 = x
Multiply (1/2)(3/8) =
3/16 cup of olives
