A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking

distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking for the new design. Define the parameter of interest and state the relevant hypothesis. Suppose braking distance for the new system is normally distributed with sigma = 10. Let X denote the sample average braking distance for a random sample of 36 observations. Which of the following three rejection regions is appropriate : What is the significance level for the appropriate region of part(b)?How would you change the region to obtain a test with alpha = 0.001? What is the probability that the new design is not implemented when its true average braking distance is actually 115 ft and the appropriate region from part (b) is used? Let Z = (x - 120)/ (sigma / n), what is the significance level for the region {z : z le -2.33}? For the region {z : z le -2.88}?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a. The study variable is X: "breaking distance using the new design"(ft)

X~N(μ;σ²)

The parameter of interest is μ: The population mean of the breaking distance using the new design.

The hypothesis states that the new design reduces the population mean of the braking distance. Symbolically:

H₀: μ≥120

H₁: μ<120

Unfortunately, you didn't copy the choices for the critical regions. With this type of hypothesis, you have a one-tailed critical region and will reject the null hypothesis to small values of the statistic. I've looked for the critical regions using the most common significance levels and the one in part b.

Significance level α: 10%

Critical value Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.10} = -1.28

Significance level α: 5%

Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05} = -1.64

Significance level α: 1%

Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.01} = -2.33

b. Significance level α: 0.1%

Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.001} = -3.107

The significance level is stated by the investigator before making the test, what changes is the rejection region, with a lower level of significance you get a smaller rejection region and is more likely to support a false null hypothesis. On the other hand, the smaller the level of significance, the bigger the power of the test so if you end up rejecting the null hypothesis you will have more certainty of having made a correct decision.

c. The null hypothesis states that the population mean of the braking distance is 120ft or more and you conduct the test supposing this hypothesis is true, that's why you can use the number in this hypothesis when calculating the statistic value.

If later it is found out that the population mean is 115 ft, that means your null hypothesis is FALSE.

And if the condition for implementing the new system is that the braking distance is reduced, since it wasn't applied you can assume that the null hypothesis WASN'T REJECTED.

So, in this case, it is a Type II error situation, You didn't reject the null hypothesis but it was false and its associated probability is β.

d.

{z : z le -2.33} significance level is 0.0099 ≅ 0.01

{z : z le -2.88} significance level is 0.00199 ≅ 0.02

I hope it helps!

Find the area of the carpet tile. Then find the area covered by 120 carpet tiles.
weqwewe [10]

The area of the carpet is the amount of space it occupies

  • The area of the carpet tile is 256 square inches
  • The area covered by 120 tiles is 30720 squares inches

<h3>How to determine the carpet area</h3>

The dimension of the carpet tile is 16 inches by 16 inches

So, the area is:

Area = 16 * 16

Evaluate the product

Area = 256

Hence, the area of the carpet tile is 256 square inches

For 120 carpet tiles, the area is:

Area = 120 * 256

Area = 30720

Hence, the area covered by 120 tiles is 30720 squares inches

What is the product of 5.06 and 2.1
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

10.626

Step-by-step explanation:

There's multiple ways to go about it. See how

5.06 * 2.1 = (5 + 0.06)(2 + 0.1) = 5*2 + 0.06*2 + 5*0.1 + 0.06*0.1 =

= 10 + 0.12 + 0.5 + 0.006 = 10.626

Please notice how breaking up the product into smaller parts has let us make all the computations without too much hassle.

What is the area of the triangle?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

the area of a triangle is b*h/2

we can set BC as the base because AC is harder to calculate.

Then we draw an imaginary height.

There's no way to really explain, but the height would be 5 here, since 3 - -2 = 5

The base is 3

3*5/2 = 15/2

Thanks,

Why would someone want to factor a polynomial? Provide real-world examples of different questions we can answer or factors we ca
IgorC [24]

Factoring is a common mathematical process used to break down the factors, or numbers, that multiply together to form another number. Some numbers have multiple factors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Factoring polynomials involves breaking up a polynomial into simpler terms (the factors) such that when the terms are multiplied together they equal the original polynomial. Factoring helps solve complex equations so they are easier to work with. Factoring polynomials includes: Finding the greatest common factor.

Factoring (called "Factorizing" in the UK) is the process of finding the factors: Factoring: Finding what to multiply together to get an expression. It is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.
