The owner of a shoe store wanted to determine whether the average customer bought more than $100 worth of shoes. She randomly se

lected 10 receipts and identified the total spent by each customer. The totals (rounded to the nearest dollar) are given below.
Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to test whether the mean is greater than $100 and then draw a conclusion in the context of the problem. Use α=0.05.
125 99 219 65 109 89 79 119 95 135
Select the correct answer below:
A) Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is greater than $100.
B) Reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is greater than $100.
C) Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is greater than $100.
D) Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is greater than $100.

Answer:

D) Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is greater than $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the owner of a shoe store randomly selected 10 receipts and identified the total spent by each customer. The totals (rounded to the nearest dollar) are given below;

X: 125, 99, 219, 65, 109, 89, 79, 119, 95, 135.

Let \mu = <u><em>average customer bought worth of shoes</em></u>.

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq $100      {means that the mean is smaller than or equal to $100}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > $100      {means that the mean is greater than $100}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> because we don't know about population standard deviation;

                            T.S.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean = \frac{\sum X}{n} = $113.4

             s = sample standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} } = $42.78

             n = sample of receipts = 10

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{113.4-100}{\frac{42.78}{\sqrt{10} } }  ~  t_9

                                    =  0.991

The value of t-test statistics is 0.991.

Now, at a 0.05 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of 1.833 at 9 degrees of freedom for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as 0.991 < 1.833, so <u><em>we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean is smaller than or equal to $100.

The student council set a goal of raising at least $500 in flower sales. So far it has raised $415.
zzz [600]
Hi There!

Ok, so student council needs 500 dollars from flower sale, and they already have 415, To find how much they need you have to subtract 500-415, your final answer should be 85, so the student council needs $85 dollars more to reach their goal.

Hope This Helps :)

You are wrapping a gift box. You want to tie a ribbon around the box , so that whenever the ribbon intersects an edge of the box
Paha777 [63]

You are wrapping a gift box. The length of ribbon = length + width + height of box.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, You are wrapping a gift box.  

You want to tie a ribbon around the box, so that whenever the ribbon intersects an edge of the box, its distance to the nearest corner is 1/3 the length of the box.  

We have to find how long must the ribbon be?

The figure of this problem is attached below

Now, assume we started to tie at one edge, then next we can tie at straight parallel edge, we can continue till our process ends.

Then, total length of the ribbon = length of box + width of box + height of box.

Hence, the length of ribbon = length + width + height of box.
