The mean income per person in the United States is $44,500, and the distribution of incomes follows a normal distribution. A ran

dom sample of 16 residents of Wilmington, Delaware, had a mean of $52,500 with a standard deviation of $9,500. At the .05 level of significance, is that enough evidence to conclude that residents of Wilmington, Delaware, have more income than the national average?

Answer:

We conclude that the residents of Wilmington, Delaware, have higher income than the national average

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = $44,500

Sample mean, \bar{x} = $52,500

Sample size, n = 16

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s =  $9,500

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 44,500\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu > 44,500\text{ dollars}

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

c) Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{52500 - 44500}{\frac{9500}{\sqrt{16}} } = 3.37

b) Rejection rule

If the calculated t-statistic is greater than the t-critical value, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 15 degree of freedom } = 1.753

Since,                    

t_{stat} > t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the residents of Wilmington, Delaware, have higher income  than the national average

At the start of 2014, Mike's car is worth 12000. the car depreciates by 30 percent every year. how much is his car worth in 2017
Anarel [89]

Answer:

$4,116

Step-by-step explanation:

Worth of Mike's car at the start of 2014 = $12,000

If the car is said to depreciates every year by 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

The worth of the car at the start of 2017 is what we are to determine.

This means that the car depreciated by 30% (0.3) for 3 years since 2014 (2017 - 2014 = 3 yrs)

The worth at the start of 2017 would be calculated as follows:

12,000 × (1 - 0.3)³

= 12,000 × (0.7)³

= 12,000 × 0.343

= 4,116

Worth of the car at the start of 2017 would be $4,116

If the exponential parent function,
laila [671]

Answer: f(x) =3^{-x}-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Some transformations for a function f(x) are shown below:

If f(x)+k, the function is translated up "k" units.

If f(x)-k, the function is translated down "k" units.

If -f(x), the function is reflected across the x-axis.

If f(-x), the function is reflected across the y-axis.

Therefore, knowing those transformations and given the exponential parent function:

f(x) = 3^x

If it is reflected across the y-axis and the it is  translated down 4 units, we can determine that the resulting function is:

f(x) =3^{-x}-4

Can someone help me with this in a scientific notation
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

3.762 x 10^-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright this has the same exact concept as other scientific notation problems.

First, multiply your first numbers: 4.18 x 9 = 37.62

Next, we add our powers together -4 +-4 = -8 (can also be read as -4 - 4 = -8)

We now have 37.62 x 10^-8

Wait! This isn't in scientific notation.

Taking a closer look at this we see 37.62 x 10^-8 can be adjusted by moving the decimal over to the left. Scientific notation must be in simplest form with only one number on the left of the decimal. This gives up 3.762.

Now we need to adjust our notation. Since we moved the decimal over one we are adding one more power to our problem.

Our current power of -8 is now adding a power due to moving the decimal place over one unit to the left. This is equivalent to saying -8 + 1 which equals -7. Now that we fixed our powers, we can put our equation back together for our final answer

3.762 x 10^-7
