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.

Find the wavelength of the third line in the lyman series, and identify the type of em radiation.
Natalija [7]

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation

In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 / lambda = R(h)* ( \frac{1}{(n1)^{2} } -   \frac{1}{(n2)^{2} })

                 = 109678 ( \frac{1}{1^{2} } -  \frac{1}{3^{2} } )

                 = 109678 (8/9)

   Lambda = 9 / (109678 * 8 )

                  = 102.6 * 10^{-9} m = 102.6 nm

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.​
beks73 [17]
Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
