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.

Scores Ex, x. 1 2 3 4 5

P(X=x). 0.05 0.09 0.03 0.42 0.41

b. Scores mg, Y 1. 2. 3. 4. 5

P(Y=y). 0.04. 0.1. 0.12 0.46 .28

c. probability that a randomly selected senior executive will report a job satisfaction score of 4 or 5.

P(4 or 5) =p(x=4) +p(x=5)

= 0.42 + 0.41=0.83

scoray [572]

Answer:

The difference between the number of drops of water in the larger jug and the number of drops of water in the smaller jug is <u>42,739,999.999999999.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An environmental scientist estimated the number of drops of water in two different jugs. He estimated that the smaller jug contains 8,060,000.000000001 drops of water and the larger jug contains 50,800,000 drops of water.

Now, to find the difference between the number of drops of water in the larger jug and the number of drops of water in the smaller jug.

The smaller jug contains drops of water = 8,060,000.000000001.

The larger jug contains drops of water = 50,800,000.

Now, to get the difference between the number of drops of water we subtract the number of drops of water in the smaller jug from the number of drops of water in the larger jug:

50,800,000-8,060,000.000000001

=42,739,999.999999999

Therefore, the difference between the number of drops of water in the larger jug and the number of drops of water in the smaller jug is 42,739,999.999999999.
