A dairy farm uses the somatic cell count (SCC) report on the milk it provides to a processor as one way to monitor the health of

its herd. The mean SCC from five samples of raw milk was 250,000 cells per milliliter with standard deviation 37,500 cell/ml. Test whether these data provide sufficient evidence, at the 10% level of significance, to conclude that the mean SCC of all milk produced at the dairy exceeds that in the previous report, 210,250 cell/ml. Assume a normal distribution of SCC.

Answer:

t=\frac{25000-210000}{\frac{37500}{\sqrt{5}}}=2.37  

p_v =P(t_{4}>2.37)=0.038  

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the actual true mean is higher than 210250 at 5% of significance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X=250000 represent the sample mean  

s=37500 represent the standard deviation for the sample

n=5 sample size  

\mu_o =210250 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is higher than 210250, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 210250  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 210250  

Compute the test statistic  

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{25000-210000}{\frac{37500}{\sqrt{5}}}=2.37  

Now we need to find the degrees of freedom for the t distirbution given by:

df=n-1=5-1=4

Conclusion

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{4}>2.37)=0.038  

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the actual true mean is higher than 210250 at 5% of significance.

The log of x cubed times y squared simplified
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

log(x^{3}y^{2}) = 3 log x+2 log y

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

using logarithmic formula log(ab)=log a+log b

so given log(x^{3} y^{2} ) = log (x^{3} )+log(y^{2} )

now simplify

                                              = 3 log x+2 log y

<u>Answer:</u>-

log(x^{3}y^{2})= [tex]3 log x+2 log y

Which is the correct input-output table for the function g(x)=-1/2(4x+6)
Sonbull [250]

Answer: The third choice.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the first output, start with your first input. In this case, it's -2, so your equation would be g(-2)= -1/2(4(-2)+6). Start by solving inside the parenthesis. 4x-2=-8 and -8+6=-2. -1/2x-2= 1, so your first output should be 1. The only choice that has this is the third one, so that is your answer. Hope I could help :)
