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.

Find the perimeter of a square with side a. Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional qua
inna [77]

The perimeter of a square with side a = 7.2 cm is 28.8 cm. Yes there exists a direct proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter of square

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that side of square "a" = 7.2 cm

We have to find the perimeter of square

<em><u>The perimeter of square is given as:</u></em>

Perimeter of square = 4a

Where "a" represents the length of side of square

Substituting the given value a = 7.2 cm in above formula, we get perimeter of square

Perimeter of square = 4(7.2) = 28.8 cm

<em><u>Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional quantities?</u></em>

\begin{array}{l}{\text { perimeter of square }=4 a=4 \times \text { length of side }} \\\\ {\frac{\text { perimeter of square }}{\text { length of side }}=4}\end{array}

The Perimeter is equal to a constant times the Side length, or the Perimeter divided by the Side length is equal to four. So this is definitely a proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter.

Two values are said to be in direct proportion when an increase in one results in an increase in the other.

So when length of sides increases, perimeter also increases

Hence perimeter and length of side of square are directly propotional quantities

tickets at a particular movie theatre have different rates for adults and children. on a friday the theatre sold 4 adult tickets
maria [59]
Using elimination method. Using substitution will cause some fraction problems.

c- child tickets
a- adult tickets

4a + 7c = $83
5a + 6c = $90

multiply by -5

-20a - 35c = -$415
20a + 24c = $360

-11c= -$55
c = $5 child tickets

4a + 7(5)= $83

4a + 35 = $83

4a = $48

a= $12 adult tickets
