Answer:

Organizations can use one-sample hypothesis test to determine if there are performance issues in many ways.

It can be applied to the performance of a sector, a machine, a product, an advertising campaing, etc.

For example, we can take the example of a machine. It may be claimed that a specific machine performs significantly worse than the average.

This average would be the population mean: the average performance of the machines of the same type or process.

Then, a sample of the performance of the machine in study is taken and the hypothesis test can be performed to test the claim that this machine performs significantly worse.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, we have an historic performance for this type of machine of 100 units a day. The machine A in study is sampled 14 days and have a performance of 92 units a day, with a sample standard deviation of 12 units/day. We have to test the claim that the machine A makes less units per day than the average.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=100\\\\H_a:\mu< 100

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=14.

The sample mean is M=92.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=12.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{14}}=3.2071

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{92-100}{3.2071}=\dfrac{-8}{3.2071}=-2.4944

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=14-1=13

This test is a left-tailed test, with 13 degrees of freedom and t=-2.4944, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0.0134) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that machine A produces significantly less units per day than the average.

State the value of the discriminant for <br><br>y = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5x%5E2%2B9x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="5x^
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

141, meaning that there will be two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic is b^2-4ac, which in this case is:

9^2-4(5)(-3)=81+60=141

Since the discriminant is positive and not zero, there will be two real solutions to this equation. This is because when the discriminant is negative, and you take the square root of it, you get a negative number. If you take the square root of 0, you get 0, which means that there will only be one solution to the equation.

Hope this helps!

Paula has a dog that weighs 3 times as much as Carla's dog
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The weight of Paula's dog is 36 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

SO we would draw one box for the weight of Carla's dog. Then we would draw 3 boxes for the weight of Paula's dog.

To find how much does Paula's dog weigh we divide the total weight of the dogs by the total number of boxes.

So then you would calculate 48 divided by 4.

The weight of Carla's dog is 12 pounds.

Therefore the weight of Paula's dog is 3x12=3x10+3x2=30+6=36 pounds.
