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.

Which of the following is an equation of the line that passes through the point (5/3,-6) and has a slope of -3/4
ratelena [41]

Line through (a,b) with slope m is

y - b = m(x -a)

Here that's line through (a,b)=(5/3, -7) with slope m=-3/4

y - -7 = (-3/4) (x - 5/3)

Solve for y,

y + 28/4 = (-3/4) x + 5/4

y = (-3/4) x - 23/4

Look at the choices.

A horizontal line contains points A, C, B. 2 lines extend from point C. A line extends to point E and another line extends to po
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Option (2).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

A, C and B are the points lying on a straight line.

2 lines EC and DC have been drawn by extending the lines from C to E and D respectively.

Ray CE is the angle bisector of ∠ACD.

That means CE divides ∠ACD in two equal parts.

m∠ACE = m∠DCE

Since m∠ACD = m∠ACE + m∠DCE

                        = 2(m∠ACE)

          m∠ACE = \frac{1}{2}(\angle ACD)

Therefore, option (2) will be the answer.
