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

Number of questions worth 5 points = 10

Number of questions worth 2 points = 25

Further explanation:

The given system is a system of linear equations in two variables.

We will use the subsitution method to solve the system

Given equations are:

x+y=35\\5x+2y=100

From equation no 1:

x+y=35\\x=35-y

Putting x=35-y in second equation

5x+2y=100\\5(35-y)+2y=100\\175-5y+2y=100\\-3y=100-175\\-3y=-75\\\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{-75}{-3}\\y=25\\Putting y=25 in first equation\\x+25=35\\x= 35-25\\x=10

Hence,

Number of questions worth 5 points = 10

Number of questions worth 2 points = 25

How do you know that the systems of equations are consistent? How do you know that they are independent?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent. If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST The following formula, F = ma, relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acc
8_murik_8 [283]
Part A

The expression "ma" is the same as "m*a" (m times a). To isolate 'a', we divide both sides by m. Division is the inverse operation of multiplication. Think of it as undoing multiplication

F = ma
F = m*a
F/m = m*a/m
F/m = a
a = F/m

Answer: a = F/m
Note: the slash "/" without quotes means "divide"

===========================================
Part B

Use the result from part A. We will plug F = -24 and m = 10 into that equation

a = F/m
a = -24/10
a = -2.4

Answer: -2.4

===========================================
Part C

We will use the equation F = m*a

F = m*a
24 = m*12 ... plug in F = 24 and a = 12
24/12 = m*12/12
2 = m
m = 2

Answer: 2

Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The first set: 8, 15, and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Pair: 8, 15, 17</h3>

By the pythagorean theorem, a triangle is a right triangle if and only if

\text{longest side}^2 = \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2.

In this case,

\text{longest side}^2 = 17^2 = 289.

\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 8^2 + 15^2\\ &=64 + 225 = 289 \end{aligned}.

In other words, indeed \text{hypotenuse}^2 = \text{first leg}^2 + \text{second leg}^2. Hence, 8, 15, 17 does form a right triangle.

Similarly, check the other pairs. Keep in mind that the square of the longest side should be equal to the sum of the square of the two

<h3>Pair: 10, 15, 20</h3>

Factor out the common factor 2 to simplify the calculations.

\text{longest side}^2 = 20^2 = 400

\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 10^2 + 15^2\\ &=100 + 225 = 325 \end{aligned}.

\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2.

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

<h3>Pair: 12, 18, 22</h3>

\text{longest side}^2 = (2\times 11)^2 = 2^2 \times 121.

\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= (2 \times 6)^2 + (2 \times 9)^2\\ &=2^2 \times(36 + 81) = 2^2 \times 117 \end{aligned}.

\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2.

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

<h3>Pair: 7, 9, 11</h3>

\text{longest side}^2 = 11^2 = 121.

<h3>\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 7^2 + 9^2\\ &=49+ 81 = 130 \end{aligned}.</h3>

\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2.

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.
