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.

Ab and ba name the same ray.<br><br><br> always<br> sometimes<br> never
vekshin1

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

never

Explanation:

A ray is named using the endpoint first and then another point on the ray. This means that ray AB has endpoint A and point B on the ray; ray BA has endpoint B and point A on the ray. These are not the same ray, as they do not have the same endpoint.

the point (4,0) lies on a circle with the center at the orgin. what is the area of the circle to the nearsest hundreth?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

50.27 units²

Step-by-step explanation:²

The standard equation of a circle with center at the origin is x² + y² = r², where r is the radius.  Substituting 4 for x and 0 for y yields 4² + 0² = r², so we see immediately that r = 4 units.

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr².

Here, with r = 4, the area is A = π(4 units)² = 16π units², or

50.27 units² to the nearest hundredth.

Katy has 1 3/8 cups of flour. Her cookie recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. How many more cups of flour does she need for the rec
AleksAgata [21]

Subtract the amount you have from the amount you need:

2 cups - 1 3/8 cups

Subtract the whole cup first:

2 cups -1 cup = 1 cup

8/8 = 1

Rewrite 1 as 8/8 then subtract the 3/8 you have:

8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

You need 5/8 cup more
