A company claims that the mean weight per apple they ship is 120 grams with a standard deviation of 12 grams. Data generated fro

m a sample of 49 apples randomly selected from a shipment indicated a mean weight of 122.5 grams per apple. Is there sufficient evidence to reject the company’s claim? (useα = 0.05)

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to reject the company's claim at the significance level of 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu be the true mean weight per apple the company ship.  We want to test the next hypothesis

H_{0}:\mu=120 vs H_{1}:\mu\neq 120 (two-tailed test).

Because we have a large sample of size n = 49 apples randomly selected from a shipment, the test statistic is given by

Z=\frac{\bar{X}-120}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} which is normally distributed. The observed value is  

z_{0}=\frac{122.5-120}{12/\sqrt{49}}=1.4583. The rejection region for \alpha = 0.05 is given by RR = {z| z < -1.96 or z > 1.96} where the area below -1.96 and under the standard normal density is 0.025; and the area above 1.96 and under the standard normal density is 0.025 as well. Because the observed value 1.4583 does not fall inside the rejection region RR, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Solve the equation: 2x^2 + 3x = 2
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x = -2 or x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the eq in standard form, which means:

x² should not have that 2 in front of it

move the other 2 to the left

so first let's divide by 2:

x² + 3/2 x = 1

now move the 1 to the left

x² + 3/2 x - 1 = 0

now look for two numbers that, when multiplied, give -1, and when added, give 3/2. This is a bit of trial-and-error if you want to solve in this way.

The numbers are 2 and -1/2, since 2*-1/2 = -1, and 2 - 1/2 = 3/2

The factorization thus is:

x² + 3/2 x - 1 = (x+2)(x-1/2) = 0

Either factor (x+2) or (x-1/2) can be zero to solve the solution, hence x = -2 or x = 1/2

How many liters each of a 30% acid solution and a 50 % acid solution must be used to produce 70 liters of a 40 % acid solution?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

  30%: 35 liters

  50%: 35 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired concentration is halfway between the concentrations of available solutions, so the mixture will be equal amounts of each.

  35 liters of 30% acid and 35 liters of 50% acid must be used

_____

If you want to write an equation, it usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the most concentrated constituent: 50% acid. Then the amount of acid in the final mix is ...

  0.50x +0.30(70 -x) = 0.40(70)

  0.20x +21 = 28 . . . . simplify

  0.20x = 7 . . . . . . . . . subtract 21; next, divide by 0.20

  x = 35 . . . . . . amount of 50% solution (liters)

  70-x = 35 . . . amount of 30% solution (liters)
