Answer:

We conclude that the population standard deviation is greater than 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 16 items provides a sample standard deviation of 9.5.

Let \sigma^{2} = <u><em>population standard deviation</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \sigma^{2} \leq 50     {means that the population standard deviation is less than or equal to 50}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \sigma^{2} > 50      {means that the population standard deviation is greater than 50}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample chi-square</u> test statistics;

                        T.S.  =  \frac{(n-1) \times s^{2} }{\sigma^{2} }  ~ \chi^{2}__n_-_1

where, s = sample standard deviation = 9.5

           n = sample of items = 16

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{(16-1) \times 9.5^{2} }{50 }  ~ \chi^{2}__1_5

                                    =  27.08

The value of chi-square test statistics is 27.08.

Now, at 5% level of significance the chi-square table gives a critical value of 25.00 at 15 degrees of freedom for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of chi as 27.08 > 25.00, so we have <u><em>sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the population standard deviation is greater than 50.

If p = .8 and n = 50, then we can conclude that the sampling distribution of pˆ is approximately a normal distribution
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Yes we can conclude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling distribution of \hat{p} can be approximated as a Normal Distribution only if:

np and nq are both equal to or greater than 10. i.e.

  • np ≥ 10
  • nq ≥ 10

Both of these conditions must be met in order to approximate the sampling distribution of \hat{p} as Normal Distribution.

From the given data:

n = 50

p = 0.80

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

np = 50(0.80) = 40

nq = 50(0.20) = 10

This  means the conditions that np and nq must be equal to or greater than 10 is being satisfied. So, we can conclude that the sampling distribution of pˆ is approximately a normal distribution

Simplify , You may leave the numerator and denominator of your answer in factored form ?
ch4aika [34]
For this fraction, we have (3x+2) in both the numerator and the denominator. So, they will be cancelled together.
Then we can notice that we can divide the coefficients in the numerator and the denominator by 9 as 36/9 = 4 and 9/9 = 1

So, the expression now becomes:
(x+7) / 4(x-5) which is the simplest form.
