It is desired to compare the hourly rate of an entry-level job in two fast-food chains. Eight locations for each chain are rando

notka56 [123]

Answer:

It can be concluded that at 5% significance level that there is no difference in the amount paid by chain A and chain B for the job under consideration

Step by Step Solution:

The given data are;

Chain A 4.25, 4.75, 3.80, 4.50, 3.90, 5.00, 4.00, 3.80

Chain B 4.60, 4.65, 3.85, 4.00, 4.80, 4.00, 4.50, 3.65

Using the functions of Microsoft Excel, we get;

The mean hourly rate for fast-food Chain A, $\overline x_1$ = 4.25

The standard deviation hourly rate for fast-food Chain A, s₁ = 0.457478

The mean hourly rate for fast-food Chain B, $\overline x_2$ = 4.25625

The standard deviation hourly rate for fast-food Chain B, s₂ = 0.429649

The significance level, α = 5%

The null hypothesis, H₀: $\overline x_1$ = $\overline x_2$

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ: $\overline x_1$ ≠ $\overline x_2$

The pooled variance, $S_p^2$ , is given as follows;

$S_p^2 = \dfrac{s_1^2 \cdot (n_1 - 1) + s_2^2\cdot (n_2-1)}{(n_1 - 1)+ (n_2 -1)}$

Therefore, we have;

$S_p^2 = \dfrac{0.457478^2 \cdot (8 - 1) + 0.429649^2\cdot (8-1)}{(8 - 1)+ (8 -1)} \approx 0.19682$

The test statistic is given as follows;

$t=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{S_{p}^{2} \cdot \left(\dfrac{1 }{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}}\right)}}$

Therefore, we have;

$t=\dfrac{(4.25-4.25625)}{\sqrt{0.19682 \times \left(\dfrac{1 }{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)}} \approx -0.028176$

The degrees of freedom, df = n₁ + n₂ - 2 = 8 + 8 - 2 = 14

At 5% significance level, the critical t = 2.145

Therefore, given that the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical 't', we fail to reject the null hypothesis and it can be concluded that at 5% significance level that chain A pays the same as chain B for the job under consideration

A walker has travelled 9 km along a trail. If he has completed 80% of the trail, how much further does he still have to go?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

2.25 km to go

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer, you have to figure out how many km 10% is, 0.1125. Then multiply that by the remaining 20% because he already finished 80% of the trail. So, 0.1125 x 20 = 2.25.

Hope this helps! :)

In 2009, a town's population was about 9,000 residents. In 2014, the population was about 12,500 residents. Which linear model r

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700

Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:

p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)

p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000

p = 700t - 1397300
