The​ quality-control manager at a compact fluorescent light bulb​ (CFL) factory needs to determine whether the mean life of a la

rge shipment of CFLs is equal to 7450 hours. The population standard deviation is 1 comma 350 hours. A random sample of 81 light bulbs indicates a sample mean life of 7 comma 240 hours. a. At the 0.05 level of​ significance, is there evidence that the mean life is different from 7450 hours question mark b. Compute the​ p-value and interpret its meaning. c. Construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the population mean life of the light bulbs. d. Compare the results of​ (a) and​ (c). What conclusions do you​ reach

<h2>Answer with explanation:-</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean .

By observing the given information, we have :-

H_0:\mu=7450\\\\H_a:\mu\neq7450

Since the alternative hypotheses is two tailed so the test is a two-tailed test.

We assume that the  life of a large shipment of CFLs is normally distributed.

(a) Given : Sample size :  n=81 , since n>30 so we use z-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=7240

Standard deviation : \sigma=1350

Test statistic for population mean :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{7240-7450}{\dfrac{1350}{\sqrt{81}}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=-1.4

The critical value (two-tailed) corresponds to the given significance level :-

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Since the observed value of z (-1.4) is less than the critical value (1.96) , so we do not reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, we conclude that we have enough evidence to accept that the mean life is different from 7450 hours .

(b) The p-value : 2P(z>-1.4)=0.1615 , it means that the probability that the life of CFLs less than 7240 and greater than 7240 is 0.1615.

(c) The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x} \pm\ z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=7240\pm(1.96)\dfrac{1350}{\sqrt{81}}\\\\=7240\pm294\\\\=(6946,7534)

Are the expressions 3/4a + 8 - 1/4a - 2 and 1/2(a + 12) equivalent? Show why or why not.
natta225 [31]

Answer:Yes they are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4a + 8 - 1/4a - 2 1/2(a + 12)

Combine like terms Distributive property

2/4a+6 1/2a+6

2/4=1/2 (simplify)

1/2+6=1/2+6

Evaluate the function for x = 2 and x = 6 f(x) = -(x - 2)​
12345 [234]

Answer:

f(2) = 0 and f(6) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find f(x) when x = 2

Plug in 2 as x in the function:

f(x) = -(x - 2)​

f(2) = -(2 - 2)

f(2) = -(0)

f(2) = 0

Next, find f(x) when x = 6. Plug in 6 as x in the function:

f(x) = -(x - 2)​

f(6) = -(6 - 2)

f(6) = -(4)

f(6) = -4

So, f(2) = 0 and f(6) = -4

Solve for x: 2x/5=12/8
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = 3\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to leave 2x by itself on the left side of the equation:

2x = 60/8

Then divide,

x = 15/4

Simplified fraction: x = 3\frac{3}{4}

Change y-7=m(x-4) to standard form
Ivan

Answer:

  mx -y = 4m -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is ...

  ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually prime integers and a > 0.

If we assume m > 0, then we need to collect the variable terms on the right side of the equation, so the coefficient of x will be positive.

  y -7 = mx -4m . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -7 = mx -y -4m . . . . subtract y

  4m -7 = mx -y . . . . . add 4m

  mx -y = 4m -7 . . . . . . standard form
