A manufacturing company produces valves in various sizes and shapes. One particular valve plate is supposed to have a tensile st

rength of 5 pounds per millimeter (lbs/mm). The company tests a random sample of 42 such valve plates from a lot of 650 valve plates. The sample mean is a tensile strength of 5.0611 lbs/mm, and the population standard deviation is 0.2803 lbs/mm. Use α = .10 and test to determine whether the lot of valve plates has an average tensile strength of 5 lbs/mm.

Answer:

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=5.0611 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.2803 represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=42 sample size  

\mu_o =5 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 5  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

P-value

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

Sue ran the first 12 miles of the 24-mile Fun Run in 72 minutes. Her rate decreased by 2 miles per hour in the second half of th
densk [106]

Answer:

90 minutes or 1.30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 72 minutes, Sue ran 12 miles per hour

In 1 minute, Sue ran 12/72 miles per hour

In 60 minutes, Sue ran (12/72)*60 miles per hour

= 10 miles per hour

Remaining miles after completing 12 miles in 72 minutes = (24-12) = 12 miles.

If the mileage decreases to 2 miles per hour, he will now run = (10 - 2) = 8 miles per hour.

Now,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Sue can run 8 miles in 60 minutes

Sue can run 1 miles in 60/8 minutes

Sue can run 12 miles in (60/8)*12 minutes

= 90 minutes or 1.30 hours
