A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 420 gram setting. It is

believed that the machine is underfilling of overfilling the bags. A 61 bag sample had a mean of 424 grams with a standard deviation of 26. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Specify the type of hypothesis test.

Answer:

t=\frac{424-420}{\frac{26}{\sqrt{61}}}=1.202    

p_v =2*P(t_{(60)}>1.202)=0.234  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is NOT different from  420. So the specification is satisfied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=424 represent the sample mean

s=26 represent the sample standard deviation

n=61 sample size  

\mu_o =420 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 420 or not, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 420  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 420  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{424-420}{\frac{26}{\sqrt{61}}}=1.202    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=61-1=60  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(60)}>1.202)=0.234  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is NOT different from  420. So the specification is satisfied.

I need helpppppp asap
user100 [1]

Answer:

graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at a graph, there are two different axes. The vertical values--marked by the center up/down line--are "y-values"; and this is called the "y-axis"

The horizontal values--marked by the left/right line--are "x-values"; and this is called the "x-axis"

For the x-axis, values to the left side of the origin (the place where the y-axis and x-axis intercept) are smaller than 0--they are all negative values.

Values to the right side of the origin are positive--greater than 0.

For the y-axis, positive numbers are on the top half [once again, the midpoint / 0 is where the two lines are both = to 0; the origin] and negative numbers are on the bottom half.

Ordered pairs (points) are written as (x,y)

(x-value, y-value)

We are looking for a graph that decreases (along the y-axis), hits a point below the origin, and goes flat/stays constant.

When a graph is decreasing (note: we read graphs from left to right), the line of the graph is slanted downwards (it looks like a line going down).

So, if we look at the graphs, we can see Graph A descending, crossing the y-axis {crossing the middle line /vertical line / y-axis} at a value of -7, and then staying constant (it is no longer increasing or decreasing because the y-values stay the same)

hope this helps!!

Find the derivative of f(x) = 11x2 + 5x at x = 9.
Yakvenalex [24]
F(x) = 11x² + 5x 

f'(x) = 22x + 5

Hence,

f'(9) = (22 * 9) + 5 = 198 + 5 = 203
