Think about a population mean that you may be interested in and propose a hypothesis test problem for this parameter. Gather app

ropriate data and post your problem, Later, respond to your own post with your own solution. For example, you may believe that the population mean number of times that adults go out for dinner each week is less than 1.5. Your data could be that you spoke with 7 people and found that they went out 2, 0, 1, 5, 0, 2, and 3 times last week. You then would choose to test this hypothesis at the .05 (or another) significance level. Assume a random sample.
Required:
Test this hypothesis at the 0.05 significance level.

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that population mean number of times that adults go out for dinner each week is less than 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population mean is  less than  1.5

   The sample size is  n  =  7

   The sample data is   2, 0, 1, 5, 0, 2, and 3

Generally the sample mean is mathematically represented as  

     \=  x =  \frac{ \sum x_i }{ n }

=>  \=  x =  \frac{ 2 +  0 +  1 +  5 +  0 +  2 +   3 }{ 7 }

=>  \=  x =  1.857

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n} }

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{ (2 -   1.857)^2 +  (0 -   1.857)^2 +\cdots  (3 -   1.857)^2}{7} }

=>   \sigma  =  1.773

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu  =  1.5

The alternative hypothesis is H_a  :  \mu  < 1.5

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     z  =  \frac{\= x  -  \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }

=>   z  =  \frac{\= x  - 1.857 }{ \frac{1.773 }{\sqrt{7} } }  

=>z =  0.53

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      p-value  =  P(z  < 0.53 )

From the z-table  

        P(z  <  0.53 ) =  0.70194

So

       p-value  =  0.70194

From the values obtained we see that p-value  >  0.05  

Here there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that population mean number of times that adults go out for dinner each week is less than 1.5

Washing his dad's car alone, eight-year-old Levi takes 2.5 hours. If his dad helps him, then it takes 1 hour. How long does it t
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Levi's dad takes 1.67 hours to wash the car by himself

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Levi takes 2.5 hours to wash his dad's car alone

- Levi and his dad take 1 hour to wash the dad's car together

∵ Levi takes 2.5 hours to wash the car alone

∴ The rate of Levi is 1/2.5 car/hr

∵ His dad takes x hours to wash the car alone

∴ The rate of his dad is 1/x car/hr

∵ They working together for 1 hour to wash the car

- The equation of the work is rate of Levi × t + rate of his dad × t = 1

∵ t is the time of working together

∵ t = 1 hour

∴ \frac{1}{2.5}(1)+\frac{1}{x}(1)=1========\frac{1}{2.5}+\frac{1}{x}=1

- Multiply both sides by 2.5x to cancel the denominators

∵ \frac{1}{2.5}(2.5x)=x=====\frac{1}{x}(2.5x)=2.5

∵ 1 × (2.5x) = 2.5x

∴ x + 2.5 = 2.5x

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 2.5 = 1.5x

- Divide both sides by 1.5

∴ x = 5/3 ≅ 1.67

∵ x is the the time of his dad to wash the car alone

∴ Levi's dad takes 1.67 hours to wash the car by himself

Simplify 7^-5/6*7^-7/6
DochEvi [55]

So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is x^m*x^n=x^{m+n} . Apply this rule here:

7^{-\frac{5}{6}}*7^{-\frac{7}{6}}=7^{-\frac{5}{6}+{-\frac{7}{6}}}=7^{-\frac{12}{6}}=7^{-2}

Next, the rule with converting negative exponents into positive ones is x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m} . Apply this rule here:

7^{-2}=\frac{1}{7^2}=\frac{1}{49}

<u>Your final answer is 1/49.</u>

<h2>------------------------------------------------</h2>

So an additional rule when it comes to exponents is x^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x^m}

In this case, your fractional exponent, x^9/7, would be converted to \sqrt[7]{x^9} . However, I had just realized you can further expand this.

Remember the rule I had mentioned earlier about multiplying exponents of the same base? Well, you can apply it here:

\sqrt[7]{x^9}=\sqrt[7]{x^7*x^2}=x\sqrt[7]{x^2}

Your final answer would be x\sqrt[7]{x^2}
