Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the ai

rcraft. The aircraft can carry 41 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6 comma 683 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than StartFraction 6 comma 683 l b Over 41 EndFraction equals 163 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded​ aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 180.5 lb and a standard deviation of 38.2.

Answer:

The probability that the plane is oveloaded is P=0.9983.

The pilot should take out the baggage and send it in another plain or have less passengers in the plain to not overload.

Step-by-step explanation:

The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 163 lb.

If the plane is full, we have 41 men in the plane. This is our sample size.

The weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 180.5 lb and a standard deviation of 38.2.

So the mean of the sample is 180.5 lb (equal to the population mean).

The standard deviation is:

\sigma=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}} =\frac{38.2}{\sqrt{41}}=\frac{38.2}{6.4} =5.97

Then, we can calculate the z value for x=163 lb.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{163-180.5}{5.97}=\frac{-17.5}{5.97}=   -2.93

The probability that the mean weight of the men in the airplane is below 163 lb is P=0.0017

P(\bar X

Then the probability that the plane is oveloaded is P=0.9983:

P(overloaded)=1-P(X

The pilot should take out the baggage or have less passengers in the plain to not overload.

Answer:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

 Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the claim that they want to test is: "The means for the two groups (American Idol and 60 Minutes) is the same". So we want to check if we have significant differences between the two means, so this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis and on the null hypothesis we need to have the complement of the alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0

This null hypothesis can be expressed like this:

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 = \mu_2

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Find the values of x and y?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see a y in the diagram.

The 3 angles x, 90 and (4x - 10) lie on the line EF and sum to 180°, so

x + 90 + 4x - 10 = 180, that is

5x + 80 = 180 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

5x = 100 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 20
