A lumber company is making boards that are 2564.0 millimeters tall. If the boards are too long they must be trimmed, and if the

boards are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 21 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2567.0 millimeters with a variance of 121.00. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used to determine if the boards are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

t=\frac{2567-2564}{\frac{11}{\sqrt{21}}}=1.250    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=21-1=20  

the p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{(20)}>1.250)=0.2113  

For this case we see that the p value is higher than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 2564 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=2567 represent the mean height for the sample  

s=\sqrt{121}= 11 represent the sample standard deviation

n=21 sample size  

\mu_o =2564 represent the value that we want to test

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

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to check if the true mean is equal to 2564 mm, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 2564  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 2564  

The statistic is given by:

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

Replacing we got:

t=\frac{2567-2564}{\frac{11}{\sqrt{21}}}=1.250    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=21-1=20  

the p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{(20)}>1.250)=0.2113  

For this case we see that the p value is higher than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 2564 mm

Hello,

Vertices are on a line parallele at ox (y=-3)

The hyperbola is horizontal.

Equation is (x-h)²/a²- (y-k)²/b²=1

Center =middle of the vertices=((-2+6)/2,-3)=(2,-3)
(h+a,k) = (6,-3)
(h-a,k)=(-2,-3)
==>k=-3 and  2h=4 ==>h=2
==>a=6-h=6-2=4 (semi-transverse axis)

Foci: (h+c,k) ,(h-c,k)
h=2 ==>c=8-2=6

c²=a²+b²==>b²=36-4²=20

Equation is:
\boxed{ \dfrac{(x-2)^2}{16} - \dfrac{(y+3)^2}{20} =1}

In a class of 40 students, everyone has either a pierced nose or a pierced ear. The professor asks everyone with a pierced nose
ladessa [460]

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are total 40 students in a class

No of students with Pierced Nose n(N)=7

No of students with Pierced ear n(E)=36

and we know using sets

n\left ( N\cup E\right )=n\left ( E\right )+n\left ( N\right )-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

where n\left ( N\cup E\right )=Students either nose or ear Pierced

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=no of students having both nose and ear pierced

40=7+36-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=43-40=3
