Suppose that we want to test the hypothesis with a significance level (alpha) of .05 that the climate has changed since industri

alization. Suppose that the mean temperature throughout history is 50 degrees. During the last 40 years, the mean temperature has been 51 degrees and suppose the population standard deviation (z distributed) is 2 degrees. What can we conclude? Then construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean.

Answer: we reject the initial claim

(50. 3802, 51.6198)

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The initial statement is that the mean temperature throughout history is 50°

This is the null hypothesis and it is denoted as H'

H': u = 50.

After taking a sample of 40 years, we realized that the mean temperature is 51°.

This is the alternative hypothesis, in contradiction to the alternative.

The alternative hypothesis is denoted as H1

H1: u > 50 ( upper tailed).

Sample size (n) = 40

Sample mean (x) = 51

Population standard deviation (σ) = 2

We use a z test to get the value of the test statistics.

We are using a z test because sample size is greater than 30 ( n = 40) and population standard deviation is given.

Z score = x - u/ (σ/√n)

Z score = 51 - 50 / (2/√40)

Z score = 1 / 0.3162

Z score = 3.16

Our level of significance is 5%, and the critical value at this level of significance is 1.645.

By comparing the z score relative to the critical value, since our z score is greater than 1.645, it implies that we are in the rejection region hence we reject the initial claim.

B)

We are to construct a 95% confidence interval for population mean temperature.

For upper limit

u = x + Zα/2 ×(σ/√n)

Where Zα/2 = 1.96 which is the critical value for a two tailed test at 5% level of significance.

For upper limit, we have that

u = 51 + 1.96 × (2/√40)

u = 51 + 1.96 (0.3162)

u = 51 + 0.6198

u = 51.6198.

For lower limit, we have that

u = 51 - 1.96 × (2/√40)

u = 51 - 1.96 (0.3162)

u = 51 - 0.6198

u = 50. 3802.

Hence the 95% confidence level for mean temperature is given as (50. 3802°, 51.6198°)

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees
snow_lady [41]

    First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.

Alicia borrowed $15,000 to buy a car. She borrowed the money at 8% for 6 years
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

She have to pay the bank at the end of the 6 years = 222000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula applied in this case where price, interest rate and time duration is mentioned.

Interest = prt/100

Substituting all the given values in the formula.

interest = 15000 * 6 * 8/100

150 * 6 * 8 = 7200

Interest + 15000 = 15000 + 7200 = 222000$ has to pay the total.

In this question amount is 15000 multiply by 6 and by 8 then divide it by 100 so we get the interest then we add it in to amount so we get an answer that is total amount which he has to pay.                                                                           Hope this helps! :P PLZ GIVE ME BRAINLIST

Please help me with this question please
lora16 [44]

Answer:

○ sin 15° = sin 30°⁄2 = ±√[1 - cos 30°\2]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Sine Half-Angle Identity, this is the formula:

sin x = sin ˣ⁄2 = ±√[1 - cos x\2]

Notice the <em>-</em><em>cos</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>\</em><em>2</em><em> </em>inside the radical. The second option nearly resembles this option. It has a positive symbol inside. Do not let this confuse you. The Cosine Half-Angle Identity is the formula that has a positive in the radical:

cos x = cos ˣ⁄2 = ±√[1 + cos 30°\2]

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
