Suppose a local manufacturing company claims their production line has a variance of less than 9.0. A quality control engineer d

ecides to test this claim by sampling 35 parts. She finds that the standard deviation of the sample is 2.12. Is this enough evidence at the 1% level of significance, to accept the manufacturing companies claim?

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{35-1}{9} 2.12^2 =16.979

p_v =P(\chi^2

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that p_v so on this case we have enough evidence in order to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population variance is significantly lower than 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

n=35 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.01 represent the confidence level  

s =2.12 represent the sample deviation obtained

\sigma_0 =3 represent the value that we want to test

Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population variance specification is lower than 9 and the deviation lower than 3, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 9

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

Calculate the statistic  

For this test we can use the following statistic:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

\chi^2 =\frac{35-1}{9} 2.12^2 =16.979

Calculate the p value

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case df= n-1= 35-1=34. And since is a left tailed test the p value would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=CHISQ.DIST(16.979,34,TRUE)"

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that p_v so on this case we have enough evidence in order to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population variance is significantly lower than 9

Write an equation for the line shown in the graph
koban [17]

Answer:

y= -x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

ok, so the basic formula is y=mx+b

m=slope and b= the intercept

the line crosses the y-axis at 10, so we know that 10=b. it is a downward going slope, so its negative. the formula for slope is rise/run, or in our case, fall/run. for every 2 it falls, it runs 2. that is -2/2, which can be simplified to -1. looking at the graph , it's hard to comprehend the question at first and it took me multiple times looking at the graph. I hope I helped some!

A box measures 6 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. Find the volume of the box in cubic feet. Enter your answer as a fraction.
jeyben [28]
The measurements are in inches but the answer needs to be in feet, so we'll convert the numbers to feet first.

6"=1/2 ft
2"=1/6 ft
3"=1/4 ft

V=l×w×h
V=1/2*1/6*1/4
V=1/48 cubic ft

write an equation of the line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 4y+9=2x and passes through the point (7,2)
Liula [17]
Ok so we’ll put the first equation into slope int form

4y=2x-9

y=1/2x -4/9

since the likes are parallel, the slope of the line we are trying to write an equation for is 1/2

equation:

y-2=1/2(x-7)
