A study is performed in a large southern town to determine whether the average amount spent on food per four-person family in th

e town is significantly different from the national average. A random sample of the weekly grocery bills of two-person families in this town is given in the file. Assume the national average amount spent on food for a four-person family is $150.
a. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this situation.
b. Is the sample evidence statistically significant? If so, at what significance levels can you reject the null hypothesis?
c. For which values of the sample mean (e.g., average weekly grocery bill) would you reject the null hypothesis at the 1% significance level? For which values of the sample mean would you reject the null hypothesis at the 10% level?

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: u = 150

H1: u ≠ 150

Total sum = 15933.24

N = 100

Mean = 15933.24/100

= 159.3324

σ² = 25954.03 - (159.3324)²/100

σ² = 556.213

σ = √556.213

σ = 23.8162

Testing hypothesis

t = (bar x - u)/ σ/√n

= 159.3324-150/23.8162/√100

= 3.91

We will have a p value of 0.02

0.0002 < 0.01

We reject null hypothesis at 1% level of significance

C. Mean = 159.3324

Se= 2.3936

Df = 100-1 = 99

Critical value at 0.01 = +-2.626

T = x-u/s.e

= -2.626 =( x -150)/2.3936

When we cross multiply and solve this

X = 143.714 for the lower tail

2.626 = (x-159)/2.3936

= 156.286 for upper tail.

We therefore reject H0 at

Bar X <= 143.71

Bar X >= 156.286

At 10%

Critical t = 1.660

-1.660 = (x - 150)/2.3936

Solving this ,

X =146.02 at the lower tail

1.660 = (x-150)/2.3936

X = 153.97

We reject H0 at

X<= 146.03

X>=153.97

How can I solve this question
Rus_ich [418]
To find the volume of the prism, you need to know the length, height, and width. 
since the length is 4 blocks wide, you can multiply 4 by the length of a single block. 4*1/2 = 4/2. do this for the height and width
Length 4/2
height 7/2
width 3/2
you would then multiply all of them together.
to multiply fractions, just multiply the numerators together and the numerators together

4/2*7/2*3/2 = 84/8
both 84 and 8 are divisible by 4 so you could simplify the fraction to 21/2
the answer is C

part b is: if the energy release of one earthquake is 10,000 times that of another, how much larger is the Richter scale reading
kotegsom [21]

You could use the information from part A to get B. I'm not sure if you want A or not, so I'll do it as well.

A

Eo = 10^4.4 Joules

E = 2 * 10^15

Formula

M = (2/3) log (E/Eo)

M = 2/3 * log (2 * 10^15/10^(4.4) )

M = 2/3 * log( 7.9621* 10^10)

M = 2/3 * 10.901

M = 7.26735 on the Richter scale. That is a huge amount of energy.

Part B

Suppose that you use Eo and your base. Eo is 10^4.4

Now the new earthquake is E = 10000 * Eo

So what you get now is M = (2/3)* Log(10000 * Eo / Eo )

The Eo's cancel out.

M = 2/3 * log(10000)

M = 2/3 of 4

M = 8/3

M = 2.6667 difference in the Richter Scale Reading. It is still an awful lot of energy.

What this tells you is that if the original reading was (say) 6 then the 10000 times bigger reading would 8.266667

Answer: M = 2.6667
