A certain pen has been designed so that true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions (involving the use of a writin

g machine) is at least 10 hr. A random sample of 18 pens is selected, the writing lifetime of each is determined, and a normal probability plot of the resulting data support the use of a one-sample t test. The relevant hypotheses are H0: µ = 10 versus Ha: µ < 10.(a) If t = -2.4 and = .05 is selected, what conclusion is appropriate?a. Rejectb.

Answer:

(a) We reject our null hypothesis.

(b) We fail to reject our null hypothesis.

(c) We fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain pen has been designed so that true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions (involving the use of a writing machine) is at least 10 hr.

A random sample of 18 pens is selected.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 10 hr   {means that the true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions is at least 10 hr}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 10 hr    {means that the true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions is less than 10 hr}

<u>The test statistics that is used here is one-sample t test statistics;</u>

                           T.S. = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean

             s = sample standard deviation

             n = sample size of pens = 18

          n - 1 = degree of freedom = 18 -1 = 17

<u>Now, the decision rule based on the critical value of t is given by;</u>

  • If the value of test statistics is more than the critical value of t at 17 degree of freedom for left-tailed test, then <u>we will not reject our null hypothesis</u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.
  • If the value of test statistics is less than the critical value of t at 17 degree of freedom for left-tailed test, then <u>we will reject our null hypothesis</u> as it will fall in the rejection region.

(a) Here, test statistics, t = -2.4 and level of significance is 0.05.

<em>Now, at 0.05 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -1.74 at 17 degree of freedom.</em>

Here, clearly the value of test statistics is less than the critical value of t as -2.4 < -1.74, so we reject our null hypothesis.

(b) Here, test statistics, t = -1.83 and level of significance is 0.01.

<em>Now, at 0.051 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -2.567 at 17 degree of freedom.</em>

Here, clearly the value of test statistics is more than the critical value of t as -2.567 < -1.83, so we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

(c) Here, test statistics, t = 0.57 and level of significance is not given so we assume it to be 0.05.

<em>Now, at 0.05 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -1.74 at 17 degree of freedom.</em>

Here, clearly the value of test statistics is more than the critical value of t as  -1.74 < 0.57, so we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Should the quotient of an integer divided by a nonzero integer always be a rational number? Why or Why not?
lubasha [3.4K]
Yes, it will always be a rational number. I'll expound on this by defining what a rational number is. It is any number that can be expressed as a fraction. Otherwise, it is called an irrational number with a non-terminating decimal expansion. So, although 1/3 has a non-terminating decimal expansion because it is equal to 0.33333333...., it is still a rational number because it can be expressed into a fraction.

For the equation: D = -0.306c + 0.9979, what is the value of D when c= 1.67? Express answer with the correct number of sig figs?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

<h3>0.48688</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

d=(−0.306)(1.67)+0.9979

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

d=(−0.306)(1.67)+0.9979

d=−0.51102+0.9979

d=(−0.51102+0.9979)    (Combine Like Terms)

d=0.48688

3. You roll two fair dice, a white one and a red one. (a) Find P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) (b) F
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) = 1/6

b. P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die) = 1/6

c. P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) or P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die)

Step 1: P(5 or 6 on the white die) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3

Step 2: P(odd number on the red die) = 1/2

Step 3: P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) = 1/3 × 1/2 = 1/6

(b) Find P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die).

Step 1: P(odd number on the white die) = 1/2

Step 2: P(5 or 6 on the red die) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3

Step 3: P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die) = 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6

(c) Find P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) or P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die).

Step 1: P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) = 1/6

Step 2: P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die) = 1/6

Step 3: P(5 or 6 on the white die and an odd number on the red die) or P(odd number on the white die and 5 or 6 on the red die) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3
