"Orange trees ~ Orange trees are historically known to have mean circumference of 120 mm. A researcher randomly selected 35 oran

ge trees and found that the sample mean circumference for the trees is 115.72 mm and the sample standard deviation is 57.49 mm. Note: Numbers are randomized in each instance of this question. Pay attention to the numbers in this question. The researcher wonders if the actual mean circumference of orange trees is less than the historic value. What is the p-value for this hypothesis test? Give your answer to 4 decimal places."

Answer:

t=\frac{115.72-120}{\frac{57.49}{\sqrt{35}}}=-0.440    

df=n-1=35-1=34  

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(34)}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=115.72 represent the sample mean

s=57.49 represent the sample standard deviation

n=35 sample size  

\mu_o =120 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is less than the historical value, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 120  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 120  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{115.72-120}{\frac{57.49}{\sqrt{35}}}=-0.440    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=35-1=34  

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(34)}

The Lewis family and the Martin family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's spri
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Martin family: 20 hours

Lewis family: 35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the Lewis family sprinklers were out for L hours and the Martin family's sprinklers were out for M hours. We know that for each hour that the Lewis family sprinkler was on, 30L of water was put out. We can thus write the Lewis family sprinkler water output as 30L per each hour of L = 30 * L. Similarly, the Martin family sprinkler water output = 15 * M .

We know that the total hours for the sprinklers is 55, so L + M = 55. The total water output for the sprinklers is the sum of the sprinkler outputs, so 30 * L + 15 * M = 1350

L + M = 55

30 * L + 15 * M = 1350

One way to solve this would be to solve for L in the first equation and substitute that into the second

subtract M from both sides in the second equation

55 - M = L

30 * (55-M) + 15 * M = 1350

30 * 55 - 30 * M + 15 * M = 1350

1650 - 15M = 1350

subtract 1650 from both sides to isolate the M and its coefficient

-15M = -300

divide both sides by -15 to isolate M

M = 20

L = 55-20 = 35

I need a little help! Can someone check my work? It's a written response with linear systems.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

I'd say you need to be more specific.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Different" doesn't tell you much.

Consider the equations ...

  • y = 2x + 1
  • 4x - 2y = -2

These equations are "different", but they are <em>dependent</em>.

_____

I'd mentally (or actually) put the equations in the same form and compare the coefficients of x and y. If they have different ratios, the system is independent and consistent.

If they have the same ratio, the system will not have a single solution. Whether there is no solution or an infinite number of solutions depends on the constant, which I would examine next.

The system above can be put in the form

  • 2x -y = -1
  • 4x -2y = -2

In both cases, the ratio of the x coefficient to the y coefficient is 2/-1 = 4/-2 = -2. This means the lines are at least parallel, if not identical. The numbers in the second equation are all 2 times the numbers in the first equation, so the equations are <em>dependent</em>, and there are an infinite number of solutions. (Both describe the same line.)

If the second equation were 4x -2y = 1, then the two equations would be describing parallel lines, so they would be called <em>inconsistent</em>.
