The accounting department analyzes the variance of the weekly unit costs reported by two production departments. A sample of 16

cost reports for each of the two departments shows cost variances of 2.5 and 5.5, respectively. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the two production departments differ in terms of unit cost variance? Use = .10. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{5.5}{2.5}=2.2

Now we can calculate the p value but first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic. For the numerator we have n_2 -1 =16-1=15 and for the denominator we have n_1 -1 =16-1=15 and the F statistic have 15 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 15 for the denominator. And the P value is given by:

p_v =2*P(F_{15,15}>2.2)=0.138

For this case the p value is highert than the significance level so we haev enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviations are not significantly different

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n_1 = 16 represent the sampe size 1

n_2 =16 represent the sample 2

s^2_1 = 2.5 represent the sample deviation for 1

s^2_2 = 5.5 represent the sample variance for 2

\alpha=0.10 represent the significance level provided

The statistic is given by:

F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the variations in terms of the variance are equal, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2_2

H1: \sigma^2_1 \neq \sigma^2_2

The statistic is given by:

F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{5.5}{2.5}=2.2

Now we can calculate the p value but first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic. For the numerator we have n_2 -1 =16-1=15 and for the denominator we have n_1 -1 =16-1=15 and the F statistic have 15 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 15 for the denominator. And the P value is given by:

p_v =2*P(F_{15,15}>2.2)=0.138

For this case the p value is highert than the significance level so we haev enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviations are not significantly different

Answer:

10 windows

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5x2.5=6.25 then you would do 64 divided 6.25 to get 10.24 which would give you 10 whole windows.

The arrival time of a professor to her office is uniformly distributed in the interval between 8 and 9 A.M. Find the probability
NeTakaya

Answer:

0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the arrival time of a professor to her office is uniformly distributed in the interval between 8 and 9 A.M.

If the professor did not arrive till 8.20 he will arrive between 8.21 and 8.40

Hence probability for arriving after 8.20 is 1/40

Prob he arrives at exactly 8.21 is 1/60

To find the probability that professor will arrive in the next minute given that she has not arrived by 8: 20.

= Prob that the professor arrives at 8.21/Prob he has not arrived by 8.20

This is conditional probability and hence

= P(professor arrives at 8.21)/P(professor arrives after 8.20)\\= \frac{\frac{1}{60} }{\frac{40}{60} } \\=\frac{1}{40} \\=0.025

A rectangular prism has a top face with an area of 20 ft2 and a height of 5 ft. What is the volume of this rectangular prism? Th
kkurt [141]

Answer:

the volume of the rectangular prism is 100 ft³  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

area of top face of a rectangular prism, A = 20 ft²

height of the rectangular prism, h = 5 ft

Volume of the rectangular prism =  Area of top face x height of the rectangular prism

Volume of the rectangular prism = A x h

Volume of the rectangular prism = 20 ft² x  5 ft

                                                       = 100 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 100 ft³

Answer:

x should be 1

I think if you substitute it will just be the index 2 that remains , not sure though .You should probably ask your teacher for assistance
