A city council is deciding whether or not to spend additional money to reduce the amount of traffic. The council decides that it

will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 18 minutes. A sample of 26 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 21.1 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level.

Answer:

t = 2.9272 > 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

null hypothesis is rejected

The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers is not exceeds 18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step (i):</u>-

A sample of 26 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 21.1 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 minutes.

Given sample size 'n' = 26

The mean of the sample 'x⁻ = 21.1 min

Standard deviation of the sample 'S' = 5.4 min

The Population mean 'μ' = 18min

<u>Step(ii)</u>:-

<u>Null hypothesis: H₀</u> :  The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 18 minutes.

'μ' > 18min

<u>Alternative hypothesis</u> :H₁:  

'μ' <18min

<u>Level of significance :</u> ∝=0.05

Degrees of freedom γ = n-1 = 26-1 =25

The test statistic

 t  = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

t  = \frac{21.1-18}{\frac{5.4}{\sqrt{26} } }

t = 2.9272

<u>Step(iii)</u>:-

The tabulated value t = 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

t = 2.9272 > 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

Null hypothesis is rejected at  5% significance level of significance

<u>Conclusion</u>:-  

The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers is not exceeds 18 minutes

= 2^-16 * 3^10 * 3^-8 * 3^-12 * 2^28

= 2^(-16 + 28) * 3^(10 - 8 - 12)

= 2^12 * 3^-10

scoundrel [369]
In trigonometry, the right triangle is considered a special triangle because there are derived equations solely for this type. It is really convenient when dealing right triangle problems because it is more simplified courtesy of the Pythagorean theorems. It is derived that the square of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs. In equation, that would be c² = a² + b². For this activity, all you have to do is find the sum of the squares in columns a and b. Then, see if this is equal to the square of the values in column c. Let's calculate each row:

Row 1:
3² + 4² ? 5²
25 ? 25
25 = 25

Row 2:
5² + 12² ? 13²
169 ? 169
169 = 169

Row 3:
9² + 12² ? 15²
225 ? 225
225 = 225

Therefore, all of the given values conform to a² + b² = c².

One afternoon, 27 people withdraw $100 from an ATM. What was the overall change in the amount of money in the machine?​
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The change is a decrease of $2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Number of people = 27

Amount each person withdrew = $100

The total withdrawn amount by 27 people = 100 × 27

                                                                       = $2700

Let M be the amount of money in the ATM at the beginning.

As $2700 was drawn from the ATM, therefore, the change the amount of money in the machine will be:

  • M - 2700

It means the change is a decrease of $2700.

A cylinder has a height of 10 inches and a radius of 17 inches. What is its volume? Use ​ ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the ne
Gelneren [198K]

Steps:

Radius= 17in

Height= 10in

Formula: V=πr2h

Shape: Right cylinder

Solved for volume

H= Height

R= Radius

Description:

We know that R is 17 inches, and H is 10 inches. Since we are finding the volume we use the formula V=πr2h to calculate. After calculating your answer will come as V≈9079.2in³. You also said to round your answer to the nearest hundredth. After rounding your answer to th enearest hundredth your answer will come as 9,079.20.

Answer: V≈9079.2in³

Round to the nearest hundredth = 9,079.20
