At a canning facility, a technician is testing a machine that is supposed to deliver 250 milliliters of product. The technician

tests 44 samples and determines the volume of each sample. The 44 samples have a mean volume of 251.6 mL. The machine is out of calibration when the average volume it dispenses differs significantly from 250 mL.
The technician wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the machine is out of calibration. Assume standard deviation = 5.4 is known. Compute the value of the test statistic.


Potential answers are:


4.57


0.30


13.04


0.24


1.97

Answer:

1.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 250

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} \neq 250

Our test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

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

In this problem, we have that:

X = 251.6, \mu = 250, \sigma = 5.4, n = 44

So

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{251.6 - 250}{\frac{5.4}{\sqrt{44}}}

t = 1.97

The price for US postage stamps has increased over the years. Since 1975, the price has increased from $.13-$.37 in 2005 at a ra
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Linear Equation: P = 0.008T + 0.13

Price of stamp in 2015 = $0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

From 1975 to 2005 [30 years], the price increased from 0.13 to 0.37 [0.24].

This means the rate of change (slope) is 0.24/30 = 0.008

This means Price changed (increased) by $0.008 per year.

Slope = 0.008

The y-intercept (P) is at the starting point which is at T = 1975, the price was 0.13. Hence y-intercept is 0.13

The equation of a line is given as

P = mT + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Now, we can write the linear model equation as:

P = 0.008T + 0.13

To find the price of stamp in 2015, we see that this is 40 years later after 1975. So we plug in 40 into T in the equation found above:

P = 0.008(40) + 0.13

P = $0.45

Bri and Annamarie are picking strawberries at two different strawberry farms that charge a flat fee plus a cost per basket picke
denpristay [2]
The correct answer is a & d.
If you find the equation for Annamarie, you get y = 2.75x+ 11.

Using the slope formula to find what Annamarie pays per basket.
(38.5 - 11)/(10 - 0) = 2.75
Annamarie's flat fee is $11 and Bri's flat fee is $5.50

A rectangular playground is 10m longer than it is wide.The area of the playground is 1400m² Calculate the width and length of th
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1400 = x(x+10)= x^2 +10x

We can rewrite this expression like this:

x^2 +10 x -1400 =0

And we can use the quadratic formula given by:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

Where a =1 , b=10 , c= -1400

And replacing we got:

x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 -4(10)(-1400)}}{2*1}

And solving we got:

x_1 =32.75 , x_2 = -42.75

And since the value can't be negative the answer would be x = 32.75 and the value of y = 32.75+10 =42.75

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that we have a rectangular playground and the area can be founded with this formula:

A = xy

Where x represent the width and y the length. From the problem we know that A =1400 m^2 and the heigth is 10m longer than the wide so we can write this condition as:

y = 10 +x

And replacing this formula into the area we got:

1400 = x(x+10)= x^2 +10x

We can rewrite this expression like this:

x^2 +10 x -1400 =0

And we can use the quadratic formula given by:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

Where a =1 , b=10 , c= -1400

And replacing we got:

x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 -4(10)(-1400)}}{2*1}

And solving we got:

x_1 =32.75 , x_2 = -42.75

And since the value can't be negative the answer would be x = 32.75 and the value of y = 32.75+10 =42.75

Josiah works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Josiah earns a 2% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sale
salantis [7]

Answer: the equations are

0.02x + 0.07y = 156

y = 300 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total dollar amount of phone sales that she makes.

Let y represent the the total dollar amount of computer sales that she makes.

Josiah earns a 2% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sales he makes, and earns a 7% commission on all computer sales. She earned a total of $156 in commission. This means that

0.02x + 0.07y = 156 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Josiah had $300 more in computer sales than in phone sales. This means that

y = 300 + x

At an intersection, the red light times are normally distributed with a mean time of 3 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.25
gregori [183]

Answer:

P = 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is:

\mu = 3\ minutes

The standard deviation is:

\sigma = 0.25\ minutes.

We want the probability that the red light lasts between 2.5 minutes and 3.5 minutes

This is:

P(2.5

Now we must transform these values to those of a standard normal distribution to facilitate calculation by using the probability tables.

P(2.5-3

This is:

P(-2 ---------- (By the symmetry of the standard normal distribution)

When you search for the normal standard table, you get the following value:

P(Z
