Answer:

There is no statistical evidence at 1% level to accept that the mean net contents exceeds 12 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a random sample of ten containers is selected, and the net contents (oz) are as follows: 12.03, 12.01, 12.04, 12.02, 12.05, 11.98, 11.96, 12.02, 12.05, and 11.99.

We find mean = 11.015

Sample std deviation = 3.157

a) $H_0: \bar x= 12 oz\\H_a: \bar x >12$

(Right tailed test)

Mean difference /std error = test statistic

$\frac{11.015-12}{\frac{3.157}{\sqrt{10} } } \\=-0.99$

p value =0.174

Since p >0.01, our alpha, fail to reject H0

Conclusion:

There is no statistical evidence at 1% level to accept that the mean net contents exceeds 12 oz.

17/9 15 divided 6 divided 30 divided and 3^3 from least to greatest

qaws [65]

I assume you mean: Order the following from least to greatest:

17/9, 15 divided by 6, 30, and 3^3

17/9 = 1 8/9

15/6 = 2 1/2

3^3 = 9

So it would be: 17/9, 15 divided by 6, 3^3, and 30

Make necessary adjustments if it was actually 6/30; the wording was confusing.

A used car dealership buys a car for $2800 and then sells it for $4500 what is the percent increase?

Murljashka [212]

Alright, so we have the difference = 4500-2800=1700. To find the percent increase, we do 1700/2800=around 0.61 = around 61% percent

Given: cosθ= -4/5 , sin x = -12/13 , θ is in the third quadrant, and x is in the fourth quadrant; evaluate tan 1/2 θ

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin\theta}{1+cos\theta}$

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) }$ which simplifies a bit to

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{5}{5} -\frac{4}{5} }$ and a bit more to

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{1}{5} }$

Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=-\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{1}$ which of course simplifies to

-3. Choice A.

Given f(x) = x2 - 10x + 22, what is the domain of f

Lesechka [4]

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2><h2>Polynomials have the domain of all Reals. Plugging any Real number into the equation will give you a value. </h2><h2>Domain = {x|x∈R}</h2><h2><u></u></h2><h2><u> Step-by-step explanation:</u></h2><h2>The range is dependent on the curve itself. The axis of symmetry for this function is</h2><h2>x = -b/2a = -1(-10)/2(1) = 10/2 = 5 </h2><h2>The vertex is F(5) = (5)2 + (-10)(5) + 21 = 21 -50 + 21 = -8</h2><h2>Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens up and the vertex (5,-8) is a local minimum. It turns out to be an absolute minimum too so the Range = {x|x∈R, x≥-8}</h2>
