8x - 10 = 86 {combined like terms}

8x = 96 {added 10 to both sides}

x = 12 {divided both sides by 8}

3x - 5 = 31 {substituted 12, in for x, into 3x - 5}

width = 12 in.

length = 31 in.

A company considers buying a machine to manufacture a certain item. When tested, 28 out of 600 items produccd by the machine wer

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.9918 > 0.05, which means that we fail to reject $H_0$ , as we do not have enough evidence to say that defect rate of machine is smaller than 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternate hypothesis are:

H0:p≥0.03

Ha:p<0.03

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.03 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0.03, \sigma = \sqrt{0.03*0.97}$

28 out of 600 items produced by the machine were found defective.

This means that $n = 600, X = \frac{28}{600} = 0.0467$

Value of the test-statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.0467 - 0.03}{\frac{\sqrt{0.03*0.97}}{\sqrt{600}}}$

$z = 2.4$

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.0467, which is the p-value of z = 2.4.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.4 has a p-value of 0.9918.

The p-value of the test is 0.9918 > 0.05, which means that we fail to reject $H_0$ , as we do not have enough evidence to say that defect rate of machine is smaller than 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

x + 6 = 2(x + 3) - x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

[Addition Property of Equality] Add <em>x</em> on both sides: 2x + 6 = 2(x + 3)
[Distributive Property] Distribute 2: 2x + 6 = 2x + 6

Here we see that both sides are identical.

∴ our solution is all real numbers.

Suppose we are testing the null hypothesis H 0 mu=20 and the alternative H iu =20 , normal population with sigma=6 A random samp

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is $z = -1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the statistic, $\mu$ is the mean, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the number of observations.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 20, X = 17, \sigma = 6, n = 9$

So

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{17 - 20}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}}$

$z = -1.5$

The value of the test statistic is $z = -1.5$
