Many older homes have electrical systems that use fuses rather than circuit breakers. A manufacturer of 40-amp fuses wants to ma

ke sure that the mean amperage at which its fuses burn out is in fact 40. If the mean amperage is lower than 40, customers will complain because the fuses require replacement too often. If the mean amperage is higher than 40, the manufacturer might be liable for damage to an electrical system due to fuse malfunction. To verify the amperage of the fuses, a sample of fuses is to be selected and inspected. If a hypothesis test were to be performed on the resulting data, what null and alternative hypotheses would be of interest to the manufacturer?

Answer:

<u>Alternative hypothesis 1</u>:  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is > 40 amperes.

<u>Alternative hypothesis 2</u>:  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is < 40 amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the null hypothesis is the fact you want to refute and is in doubt.

So, in this specific case, <em>the null hypothesis would be that the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is 40 amperes. </em>

The alternative hypothesis are those that want to refute the null hypothesis, in this case there are 2:

<u>Alternative hypothesis 1:</u>  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is > 40 amperes.

<u>Alternative hypothesis 2:</u>  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is < 40 amperes.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the June 2007 issue, Consumer Reports also examined the relative merits of top-loading and front-loading washing machines, testing samples of several different brands of each type.

The difference in mean values test gave a p value of 0.32

Confidence level = 95%

Alpha = 1-0.95 = 0.05

Compare p with alpha, here p >alpha

Hence we accept null hypothesis that there is no difference in the means.

Confidence interval method also will yield the same result.  i.e. confidence interval for difference of means would definitely contain 0 at 95% conf level.

So answer is yes

Pls help I don't understand !! !!

100cm is equivalent to 1m so 500cm is equivalent to 5m. What you need to do is divide 500cm (5metres) by 25cm (one quarter of a metre). So the number sentence using 'division' should look like 500cm divided by 25cm which equals 20. Don't forget to use proper symbols for division though. Let me know if this helps:)
