Lifetime of $1 Bills The average lifetime of circulated $1 bills is 18 months. A researcher believes that the average lifetime i

s not 18 months. He researched the lifetime of 50 $1 bills and found the average lifetime was 18.8 months. The population standard deviation is 2.8 months. At α = 0.02, can it be concluded that the average lifetime of a circulated $1 bill differs from 18 months?

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean lifetime of circulated $1 bills.

By considering the given information , we have :-

H_0:\mu=18\\\\H_a:\mu\neq18

Since the alternative hypotheses is two tailed so the test is a two tailed test.

We assume that the lifetime of circulated $1 bills is normally distributed.

Given : Sample size :  n=50 , which is greater than 30 .

It means the sample is large so we use z-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=18.8

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.8

Test statistic for population mean :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{18.8-18}{\dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{50}}}\approx2.02

The p-value= 2P(z>2.02)=0.0433834

Since the p-value (0.0433834) is greater than the significance level (0.02) , so we do not reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, we conclude that we do not have enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis that the average lifetime of a circulated $1 bill differs from 18 months.

Please answer the question and leave an explanation on how to solve each part. Thank you in advance!

The solutions are

  • it is going to take 15.9 months to raise 10000 dollars
  • You will have $37.31 after you have bought the car
  • The money deficit would be $37.31

<h3>How to solve the question</h3>

a. 10000 = 9359.08e(0.05)

e⁰⁰⁵ = 10000/9359.08

= 0.05 = ln(10000/9359.08)

= 1.325 years

convert to months = 15.9 months

Hence it is going to take 15.9 months to raise 10000 dollars

b. 9359.08 x e^(0.05 x1.25)

= 9962.69

10000 - 9962.69

= $37.31

You will have $37.31 after you have bought the car

c. The money loss and the deficit would be same as above $37.31

d. ln(e^a) = a

We can clearly see that the money cannot be raised in the 15 months from $ 9359.08. there is a deficit amount of $37.31

Which inequality represents the following sentence?
Murrr4er [49]
<span>x – 12 ≥ 18 Let's break down the sentence and create an inequality from it. We'll use X to represent the number. "Twelve fewer than a number is at least 18." The "Twelve fewer than a number" indicates subtraction, so let's do that. X - 12 "is at least 18." would be a greater than or equal relationship. So we have X - 12 ≥ 18 And we're done. The desired equation is: x – 12 ≥ 18</span>
