A manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average lifetime for a particular model of shoes is 15 months. Someone in the res

earch and development division of the shoe company claims to have developed a longer lasting product. This new product was worn by 30 individuals and lasted on average for 17 months. The variability of the original shoe is estimated based on the standard deviation of the new group which is 5.5 months. Is the designer's claim of a better shoe supported by the trial results? Please base your decision on a two tailed testing using a level of significance of p < .05.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So you have a new type of shoe that lasts presumably longer than the ones that are on the market. So your study variable is:

X: "Lifetime of one shoe pair of the new model"

Applying CLT:

X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²/n)

Known values:

n= 30 shoe pairs

x[bar]: 17 months

S= 5.5 months

Since you have to prove whether the new shoes last more or less than the old ones your statistical hypothesis are:

H₀:μ=15

H₁:μ≠15

The significance level for the test is given: α: 0.05

Your critical region will be two-tailed:

Z_{\alpha /2} = Z_{0.025}= -1.96

Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{0.975}= 1.96

So you'll reject the null Hypothesis if your calculated value is ≤-1.96 or if it is ≥1.96

Now you calculate your observed Z-value

Z=<u>x[bar]-μ</u> ⇒ Z=<u>    17-15     </u> = 1.99

     σ/√n              5.5/√30

Since this value is greater than the right critical value, i.e. Zobs(1.99)>1.96 you reject the null Hypothesis. So the average durability of the new shoe model is different than 15 months.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

PIT_PIT [208]

Set up two equations:

1st:  P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours

2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters

Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J

Replace P in the second equation:

20(45-J) + 35J = 1200

Simplify:

900 -20J + 35J = 1200

900 +15J = 1200

Subtract 900 from both sides:

15J = 300

Divide both sides by 15:

J = 300/15

J = 20

Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours

Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.

Please help with this acellus question!
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The value of x is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle

∵ A segment joining two points lie on the two side

∵ This segment is parallel to the third side

∴ This segment divides the two sides into parts that have the same ratio

→ That means x over 2x - 3 equal to 10 over 14

∵ \frac{x}{2x-3} = \frac{10}{14}

→ By using cross multiplication

∴ 10 × (2x - 3) = x × 14

∴ 10(2x) - 10(3) = 14x

∴ 20x - 30 = 14x

→ Add 30 to both sides

∵ 20x - 30 + 30 = 14x + 30

∴ 20x = 14x + 30

→ Subtract 14x from both sides

∵ 20x - 14x = 14x - 14x + 30

∴ 6x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 5

∴ The value of x is 5
