A canned soup company would like to test if the average fill in their soup cans is different than their claimed amount of 16 oun

ces. They take a simple random sample of 101 cans of soup. The sample yields a sample mean and sample standard deviations of 15.8 ounces and LaTeX: s = 0.9 \: ouncess = 0.9 o u n c e s.

Answer:

The average fill in the soup cans is different than the claimed amount of 16 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

A one-sample <em>t</em>-test can be used to test whether the population mean is significantly different from some hypothetical value of 16 ounces or not.

The hypothesis is:

<em>H₀</em>: The average fill in the soup cans is 16 ounces, i.e. <em>µ </em>= 16.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The average fill in the soup cans is different from 16 ounces, i.e. <em>µ </em>≠ 16.  

Assume that the significance level of the test is <em>α</em> = 0.05.

The t-statistic is given by,  

t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}

Here

\bar x = sample mean = 15.8 ounces

s = sample standard deviation = 0.9 ounces

n = sample size = 101.      

Compute the value of the test statistic as follows:

        t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{15.8-16}{0.9/\sqrt{101}}=-2.23          

The calculated t-statistic is, t = -2.23 which follows t-distribution with (n-1) = 100 degrees of freedom.

Decision rule:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test statistic is less than the significance level  <em>α</em> then the null hypothesis will be rejected. And if the <em>p</em>-value is more than <em>α</em> then the null hypothesis will not be rejected.

The p-value is,

<em>p</em>-value = 0.028.

Use the p-value from <em>t</em>-score calculator.

The calculated p-value, <em>p</em> = 0.028 < <em>α</em> = 0.05.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

The average fill in the soup cans is different than the claimed amount of 16 ounces.

5(x+6)-2x=3(x+10) solve for x
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x=all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute: 5(x+6)-2x=3(x+10)

                      5x+30-2x=3x+30

2. combine like terms 3x+30=3x=30

3. these are equal therefore x=all real numbers

A person invests $1,150 in an account that earns 5% annual interest compounded continuously. Find when the value of the investme
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

11.1 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest compounding continuously is:

A(t)=Pe^{rt}

Where A(t) is the amount after the compounding, P is the initial deposit, r is the interest rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years.  Filling in what we have looks like this:

2000=1150e^{{.05t}

We will simplify this first a bit by dividing 2000 by 1150 to get

1.739130435=e^{.05t}

To get that t out the exponential position it is currently in we have to take the natural log of both sides.  Since a natural log has a base of e, taking the natual log of e cancels both of them out.  They "undo" each other, for lack of a better way to explain it.  That leaves us with

ln(1.739130435)=.05t

Taking the natural log of that decimal on our calculator gives us

.5533852383=.05t

Now divide both sides by .05 to get t = 11.06770477 which rounds to 11.1 years.

a 9ft ladder is placed 4.5 feet from the base of a wall. How high up will the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

    |\

    |  \

x   |    \      9

    |      \

    |        \                  

    |_____\

    4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

However, we already know the hypotenuse and one leg. Therefore we can substitute inside the equation to find the missing value.

a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2\\\\a^2 + 20.25 = 81\\\\a^2 = 60.75\\\\a \approx 7.79

Hope this helped!
