An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 110 engines

and the mean pressure was 4.6 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.8. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.5 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications?

Answer: NO.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have to test the hypothesis.

H_0:\mu=4.5\\\\ H_a:\mu\neq4.5

∵ H_a is two-tailed , so our test is a two-tailed test.

Also, the standard deviation is known to be 0.8 , so we use z-test.

Test statistic:z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where \overline{x} = Sample mean

\mu = population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation

n= Sample size

Put  \overline{x}=4.6

\mu=4.5

\sigma=0.8

n=  110 , we get

z=\dfrac{4.6-4.5}{\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{110}}}\approx1.31

P-value for two tailed test = 2P(Z>|z|)

= 2P(Z>|1.31|) = 2(1-P(Z<1.31))   [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z<z)]

=2(1- 0.9049)  [By z-table]

=0.1902

Decision : ∵ P-value (0.1902) > Significance level (0.02).

It means we do not reject the null hypothesis.

[When P-values < Significance level then we reject the null hypothesis.]

Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This quadratic factors.

x^2 - 15x + 56

= (x - 7)(x - 8)

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

=====

x - 8 = 0

x = 8

1.15 GPA and study hours: A survey was conducted on 193 Duke University undergraduates who took an introductory statistics cours
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A

According to the exercise we can say that the explanatory variable will be hours / weeks of study.

The response variable is GPA.

B

We definitely found that between the variables there is a weak or fragile relationship, neither negative nor positive nor linear.

C)

1.Observational study, since we observe that the only variables that will influence the results of the study are the observations of the students

2.No. This study is observational and its characteristics are not sufficient to conclude that studying more hours leads to obtaining a higher GPA.

PLS HELP ME NOW ITS PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a =2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2+2^2 = 3^2

a^2 +4 = 9

a^2 = 9-4

a^2 = 5

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(5)

a = sqrt(5)

a=2.236067977

To the nearest tenth

a =2.2

Heba ate 1/12 of a box of cereal. Now the box is 3/4 full.
Alex Ar [27]
3/4 = 3/4*1

3/4 = 3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12

Box is 9/12 full after heba ate 1/12 of a box of cereal

Initial fraction will be 9/12+1/12

=10/12= 5/6
