The sales of a grocery store had an average of $8,000 per day. The store introduced several advertising campaigns in order to in

crease sales. To determine whether or not the advertising campaigns have been effective in increasing sales, a sample of 64 days of sales was selected. It was found that the average was $8,300 per day. From past information, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $1,200. The value of the test statistic is:
The p-value is, (round to 4 decimal places):

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 8000  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 8000  

z=\frac{8300-8000}{\frac{1200}{\sqrt{64}}}=2  

p_v =P(Z>2)=0.0228  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=8300 represent the sample mean  

\sigma=1200 represent the population standard deviation  

n=64 sample size  

\mu_o =800 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

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

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 8000, the system of hypothesis are :  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 8000  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 8000  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-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".  

3) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{8300-8000}{\frac{1200}{\sqrt{64}}}=2  

4) P-value  

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would given by:  

p_v =P(Z>2)=0.0228  

5) Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed, for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean is significantly higher than $8000.

A pool measures 100 meters by 100 meters. A toddler, inside the pool, throws a ball and it lands 60 centimeters from one edge of
ratelena [41]
We need to covert 100 m to cm
1m=100 cm
100m=10000cm
so if he threw it and it landed 60 from on end, the pool is still same width/legnth so
it depends on whether it landed in the pool 60 cm away from edge or outside of the pool, 60 cm from edge
if in go to AAAAAAAAAA
if out got to BBBBBBB

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
60+distance to other edge=width of pool=10000
60+d=10,000
subtract 60
9940 cm

BBBBBBBBBB
60+width=distance
60+10,000
10,060 cm

if it landed IN the pool 60 cm away from edge, answer is 9940cm
if it landed OUTSIDE of the pool, 60 cm from edge, answer is 10,060 cm

A certain shop repairs both audio and video components. Let A denote the event that the next
alexdok [17]

Answer:

0.12 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A: next  component brought in for repair is an audio component

B: event that the next component  is a compact disc player

B \in A

P(A)= 0.6\\P(B) =0.05

We have to evaluate:

P(B|A) = \dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\\P(B|A) = \dfrac{P(B)}{P(A)}\\\\P(B|A) = \dfrac{0.05}{0.6} = 0.12

0.12 is the required probability.
