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.

What is a translation (math)
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Translation is a term used in geometry to describe a function that moves an object a certain distance. The object is not altered in any other way. It is not rotated, reflected or re-sized. In a translation, every point of the object must be moved in the same direction and for the same distance.

Area for a kite<br> I don’t know how to find the area pls help
dusya [7]

Answer:

63.966

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a kite is

\frac{pq}{2}

where p and q are the diagonals.

The horinzontial diagonal is 8.

We need to find the vertical diagonal length.

The top triangle diagonal measure is

{4}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  =  {7}^{2}

16 +  {x}^{2}  = 49

{x}^{2}  = 33

x =  \sqrt{33}

The bottom triangle diagonal measure is

{4}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  =  {11}^{2}

1 6 +  {x}^{2}  = 121

{x}^{2}  = 105

x =  \sqrt{105}

Add the two diagonals.

\sqrt{105}  +  \sqrt{33}

Substitute this in for the formula

\frac{8 \times ( \sqrt{105}  + \sqrt{33}  }{2}

Which simplified gu
