Answer:

We conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coffee packaging plant claims that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces.

A random sample of 15 containers were weighed and the mean weight was 31.8 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 0.48 ounces.

Let $\mu$ = mean weight of coffee in its containers.

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 32 ounces {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 32 ounces {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is less than 32 ounces}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean weight = 31.8 ounces

s = sample standard deviation = 0.48 ounces

n = sample of containers = 15

So, the test statistics = $\frac{31.8 -32}{\frac{0.48}{\sqrt{15} } }$ ~ $t_1_4$

= -1.614

The value of t test statistics is -1.614.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.624 at 14 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as -1.614 > -2.624, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.

What is the simplified form of the expression 1/2 (2x + 6).

kakasveta [241]

1/2(2x+6)
Substitute the one half to both of the numbers inside the parentheses.
1/2*2 is one which would just be x
1/2*6 is three
X+3

What is the value of x in the diagram? A circular pool with a diameter of 18 ft will have a uniform 4 ft concrete walkway poured

Lunna [17]

If you visualize the problem, there are two concentric circles, the pool, and the pool plus the walkway. So, we have to subtract the area of these two concentric circles to find the walkway.

Bigger circle: Pool plus walkway
----------------------------------
diameter = 18 + 4(2) -- this is because there is 2 ft of walkway at each far end
diameter = 26 ft
Area = pi*(26/2)^2
Area = 530.93 ft2

Smaller circle:pool
---------------------
diameter = 18 ft
Area = pi*(8/2)^2
Area = 50.27 ft2

Area of walkway
----------------
A = 530.93 - 50.27
A = 480.66 ft2

Then the cost would be
Cost = $4.25 * 480.66
Cost = $2,042.81
