The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales

representatives make an average of 42 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 40 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.9 calls. Using the .01 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 42.

Answer:

t=\frac{44-42}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{40}}}=6.657    

p_v =P(t_{(39)}>6.657)=3.17x10^{-8}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 42 at 1% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=44 represent the sample mean

s=1.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=40 sample size  

\mu_o =42 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 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.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 42, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 42  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 42  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so 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".  

Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{44-42}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{40}}}=6.657    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=40-1=39  

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(39)}>6.657)=3.17x10^{-8}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 42 at 1% of signficance.

What is the exterior angle?
olganol [36]

Answer:

angle YUT = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

in Triangle SUT

angle 70 + angle 50 + angle x = 180

 70 + 50 + x = 180

 120 + x = 180

 x = 180 - 120

 x = 60

angle SUT = 60



angle SUT + angle YUT = 180 ( straight line)

60 + x = 180

 x = 120


Therefore angle YUT ( exterior angle ) = 120

I need help with number 1-4 I don’t understand..
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

  1. 109°, obtuse
  2. 131°, obtuse
  3. 53°, acute
  4. 124°, obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

You are exected to know the relationships of angles created where a transversal crosses parallel lines.

  • Corresponding angles are equal (congruent).
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary, as are any linear pair.
  • Opposite interior (or exterior) angles are equal (congruent).

The appearance of the diagram often gives you a clue.

You also expected to know the name (or category) of angles less than, equal to, or greater than 90°. Respectively, these are <em>acute</em>, <em>right</em>, and <em>obtuse</em> angles.

1. Adjacent angles are supplementary. The supplement of the given angle is 109°, so x will be obtuse.

2. Opposite exterior angles are equal, so y will be 131°. It is obtuse.

3. Opposite interior angles are equal, so w will be 53°. It is acute.

4. Corresponding angles are equal, so x will be 124°. It is obtuse.

474 ( ) 548 42. - 8 how do I arrive at this answer.<br>​

Answer:

  (64x^28)/(5y^22)

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

__

First, eliminate the outside exponent on the left factor. Then use the above rules to combine factors with the same base.

  \displaystyle\left(\frac{4x^4}{5y^6}\right)^5\cdot\left(\frac{5^4y^8}{4^2x^{-8}}\right)=\frac{(4^5x^{20})(5^4y^8)}{(5^5y^{30})(4^2x^{-8})}=4^{5-2}5^{4-5}x^{20-(-8)}y^{8-30}\\\\=4^35^{-1}x^{28}y^{-22}=\boxed{\frac{64x^{28}}{5y^{22}}}
