Complete question:

new concrete mix is being designed to provide adequate compressive strength for concrete blocks. The specification for a particular application calls for the blocks to have a mean compressive strength µ greater than 1350 kPa. A sample of 100 blocks is produced and tested. Their mean compressive strength is 1356 kPa and their standard deviation is 70 kP

a) Find the p value.

b) Do you believe it is plausible that the blocks do not meet the specification, or are you convinced that they do? Expain your reasoning.

Answer:

a) p-value= 0.1949

b) It is possible the blocks do not meet the specifications

Explanation:

Given:

n = 100

Sample mean, X' = 1356

Standard deviation, s.d = 70

a) To find p- value.

Null hypothesis:

H0: u ≤ 1350

Alternative hypothesis:

H1 : u > 1350

The test statistic wll be:

z= \frac{X'-u_o}{s.d/ \sqrt{n}}

= \frac{1356-1350}{70/\sqrt{100}}

=0.86

The p value will be:

= P(z>0.86)

= 1-P(z≤0.86)

Using the normal distribution table, we now have:

1 - 0.8051

= 0.1949

P value = 0.1949

b) Since our p-value is 0.1949, we do not reject the null hypothesis, because the p-value, 0.1949, is not small. This means that it is possible the blocks do not meet the specifications.

The best answer for this question is generally the best period to look for crabs is for the duration of the full moon, this is as a result of most invertebrates being nocturnal and being more effortlessly spotted and being fascinated to light sources.

An amount of work W is done on an object of mass m initially at rest, and as result it winds up moving at speed v. Suppose inste
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

W amount of work is done on the system such that it acquires v velocity after operation(initial velocity)

According to work energy theorem work done by all the forces is equal to change in kinetic energy of object

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2---1

where m=mass of object

v=velocity of object

When the object is already have velocity v then the final speed is given by work energy theorem

W=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv^2-----2

From 1 and 2 we get

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv^2

2\times \frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

v_f^2=2v^2

v_f=\sqrt{2}v
