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?

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.

Set of data with 350,000 numbers is normally
Rudiy27

Step-by-step explanation:

given a normal distribution with the given parameters the probability (= the % of the area of the distribution curve) for a number to be between 203 and 1803 is

0.9987

so, 99.87% of all numbers are expected to be in that range.

for 350,000 numbers that means

350,000×0.9987 = 349,545 numbers are expected to be between 203 and 1803.

If you doubled the radius of a sphere, how would the volume change? A. The volume would double. B. The volume would triple. C. T
Ronch [10]
The volume of a sphere, V = (4/3)(PI)(R^3) Let k = (4/3)(PI) Therefore, V = k (R^3) Let R’ = new radius = 2R V’ =k (R’^3) = k (2R)^3 = 8 k R^3 = 8 V The volume would be eight time the original volume.
