Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 4.6 parts

/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is not at the normal level. The mean of 860 samples is 4.5 ppm. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.1. Does the data support the claim at the 0.02 level? Step 5 of 5: Enter the conclusion.

Answer:

z=\frac{4.5-4.6}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{860}}}=-2.666    

p_v =2*P(Z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.02 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is different from 4.6 at 2% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=4.5 represent the sample mean

\sigma=1.1 represent the population standard deviation

n=860 sample size  

\mu_o =4.6 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.02 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z 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 mean is equal or not to 4.6, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 4.6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 4.6  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 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{4.5-4.6}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{860}}}=-2.666  

P-value

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

p_v =2*P(Z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.02 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is different from 4.6 at 2% of signficance.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$70.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the cost per gallon of the gas.

The person in front bought 15 gals at $40.50. The price of each gallon will therefore be:

40.50 / 15 = $2.70

You need to buy 26 gallons. The cost will be:

26 * 2.70 = $70.20

You will spend $70.20.

Rainbow bread company delivered a total of 180 loaves of bread to three markets. Savemart received 12 more loaves than vons. Ral
sasho [114]

Let vons market receive x  loaves. Then savemart received x+12 loaves and Ralphs received x + 12 + 6 = x + 18 loaves, Therefore:-

x + x + 12 + x + 18 = 180

3x + 30 = 180

3x = 150

x = 150/3 = 50  

So vons received 50, savemart received 62 and ralph's received 68 loves.  Answer

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

z=14.73

p=0.000

for 99% confidence level the null hypothesis is rejected, thus majority of us adults would not bothered if the NSA collected personal records.

Step-by-step explanation:

H_{0}: Half of US adults would not bothered if the NSA collect records of personal telephone calls

H_{A}: Majority of the adults would not bothered if the NSA collect records of personal telephone calls

According to the sample, z-value can be found using the formula:

z=\frac{X-M}{\sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} } where

  • X is the adults, who would not be bothered in the survey (397)
  • M is the mean of the distribution of null hypothesis (257)
  • n is the sample size (514)
  • p is the proportion of the sample, who said they would not bothered ( \frac{397}{514} ≈ 0.77)

Putting these numbers in the formula,

z=14.73  and corresponding p value is p≈0.000

Since p<0.01,  for 99% confidence level we reject the null hypothesis, thus majority of us adults would not bothered if the NSA collected personal records.
