A country is considering raising the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30

miles per hour. A random sample of 15 vehicles has a mean speed of 35 miles per hour and a standard deviation of 4.7 miles per hour. At ? = .01, do you have enough evidence to supprot the country's claim?
Calculate the p-value:

Answer:

We conclude that speed is greater than 30 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ =  30 miles per hour

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 35 miles per hour

Sample size, n = 15

Alpha, α = 0.01

Sample standard deviation, s = 4.7 miles per hour

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 30\text{ miles per hour}\\H_A: \mu > 30\text{ miles per hour}

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{35 - 30}{\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{15}} } = 4.120

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance, 14 degree of freedom } = 2.624

Since,                  

t_{stat} > t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis and conclude that speed is greater than 30 miles per hour.

We calculate the p-value.

P-value = 0.00052

Since p value is lower than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that speed is greater than 30 miles per hour.

Could somebody please answer these four questions with simple yet explanatory answers?
Kamila [148]
1) Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
2(4*5+4*9+5*9) =202in^2
Surface Area=202in^2
Lateral Area= Perimeter of base * height
5+5=10  <--width+width
4+4=8 <---length + length 
10+8=18  <--total perimeter
18 * 9=162in^2  <--multiplied the height +perimeter of base  
Lateral Area=162in^2

2) Same concept as the previous one
 Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
2(4*2+4*5+5*2) =76in^2
Surface Area= 76in^2

Lateral Area
Lateral Area= Perimeter of base * height
4+4=8
2+2=4
8+4=12
12 x 5=60
Lateral Area= 60in^2
