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.

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.

Two numbers, x and y, have a sum of 8 and a difference of –14. A. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine the
harina [27]

Answer:

The system is:

x + y = 8

x - y = -14

And the solution is:

x = -3

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers x and y, such that:

x + y = 8   (the sum is equal to 8)

x - y = -14  (the difference is equal to -14)

This is the system of equations we need to solve.

To solve the system, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate x in the first equation:

x = 8 - y

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

(8 - y) - y = -14

8 - 2*y = -14

8 + 14 = 2*y

22 = 2*y

22/2 = y

11 = y

Now we can replace this in the equation "x = 8 - y"

To get:

x = 8 - 11  = -3

Then the solution to the system is:

x = -3 and y = 11

The area of Joe's square yard is 196 square meters. Since his house is on one side of the yard, Joe only needs to fence the othe
matrenka [14]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

So are is length times width,

since we are dealing with a square, then the length and the width are congruent

so we can say that, for this case:

a = length * length

hence

196 = length^2

14 = length

and

14 = width

since only 3 sides of this square are needed, one only has to multiply the length by 3

14 * 3

=42

so only 42 meters of fencing are needed
