A paint company claims their paint will be completely dry within 45 minutes after application. Recently, customers have complain

ed drying times are longer than the claimed 45 minutes. A consumer advocate group takes a random sample of 25 paint specimens and records their drying times. The average drying time x is 52. Consider dryng time, for all test specimens, to be normally distributed with ? = 6.
Suppose the claimed drying time is true, that is ? = 45 minutes, what is the probability of observing a sample mean of x = 52 or greater from a sample size of 25? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

The probability of observing a sample mean of x = 52 or greater from a sample size of 25 is 0.0000026

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = \mu = 45

Population standard deviation =\sigma = 6

Sample size = n =25

Sample mean = \bar{x} = 52

We are supposed to find  the probability of observing a sample mean of x = 52 or greater from a sample size of 25 i.e.P(x\geq 52)

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\Z=\frac{52-45}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{25}}}

Z=5.83

P(Z<52)=0.9999974

P(Z\geq 52)=1-P(z

Hence  the probability of observing a sample mean of x = 52 or greater from a sample size of 25 is 0.0000026

There are 14 rows of seats in a cinema.
xeze [42]

Answer:

24 tickets were not sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of unsold tickets

In each row, there are 15 seats

In the Cinema, there are 14 rows

The total number of seats is thus;

15 * 14 = 220 seats

If all the 220 seats were booked, the total amount of ticket sales would have been;

220 * 6.5 = £1430

But in this case, the amount generated is £1,274

Hence, the difference in these amounts will be;

1430 - 1274 = £156

To get the number of tickets unsold, we have to divide the amount here by the price per unit ticket

Mathematically, we have this as;

£156/£6.5 = 24

Suppose that appearances of a foe to battle (that is, a random encounter) in a role-playing game occur according to a Poisson pr
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Rate parameter of \mu = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:  

f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

One appearance per two minutes.

This means that m = 2

Measured in minutes, the time T until the next encounter is Exponential with what rate parameter?

\mu = \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5

So

Rate parameter of \mu = 0.5

Jensen Tire &amp; Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel align
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The given data corresponds to the variables

Y:  Annual Maintenance  Expense ($100s)

X: Weekly Usage  (hours)

n= 10

∑X= 253; ∑X²= 7347; \frac{}{X}= ∑X/n= 253/10= 25.3 Hours

∑Y= 346.50; ∑Y²= 13010.75; \frac{}{Y}= ∑Y/n= 346.50/10= 34.65 $100s

∑XY= 9668.5

a)

To estimate the slope and y-intercept you have to apply the following formulas:

b= \frac{sumXY-\frac{(sumX)(sumY)}{n} }{sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} } = \frac{9668.5-\frac{253*346.5}{10} }{7347-\frac{(253)^2}{10} }= 0.95

a= \frac{}{Y} -b\frac{}{X} = 34.65-0.95*25.3= 10.53

^Y= a + bX

^Y= 10.53 + 0.95X

b)

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

α:0.05

F= \frac{MS_{Reg}}{MS_{Error}} ~~F_{Df_{Reg}; Df_{Error}}

F= 47.62

p-value: 0.0001

To decide using the p-value you have to compare it against the level of significance:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

At a 5% significance level you can conclude that the average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is modified when the weekly usage increases one hour.

b= 0.95 $100s/hours is the variation of the estimated average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is modified when the weekly usage increases one hour.

a= 10.53 $ 100s is the value of the average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine when the weekly usage is zero.

c)

The value that determines the % of the variability of the dependent variable that is explained by the response variable is the coefficient of determination. You can calculate it manually using the formula:

R^2 = \frac{b^2[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]}{[sumY^2-\frac{(sumY)^2}{n} ]} = \frac{0.95^2[7347-\frac{(253)^2}{10} ]}{[13010.75-\frac{(346.50)^2}{10} ]} = 0.86

This means that 86% of the variability of the annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is explained by the weekly usage under the estimated model ^Y= 10.53 + 0.95X

d)

Without usage, you'd expect the annual maintenance expense to be $1053

If used 100 hours weekly the expected maintenance expense will be 10.53+0.95*100= 105.53 $100s⇒ $10553

If used 1000 hours weekly the expected maintenance expense will be $96053

It is recommendable to purchase the contract only if the weekly usage of the computer is greater than 100 hours weekly.
