An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 180180 engin

es and the mean pressure was 4.64.6 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.90.9. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.84.8 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.10.1 level that the valve performs below the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

Answer:

z=\frac{4.6-4.8}{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{180}}}=-2.98    

p_v =P(Z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis,and we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly lower thn 4.8 at 10% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=4.6 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.9 represent the population standard deviation

n=180 sample size  

\mu_o =4.8 represent the value that we want to test

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

z 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 thetrue mean is below the specifications, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 4.8  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 4.8  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-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:  

z=\frac{4.6-4.8}{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{180}}}=-2.98    

P-value

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

p_v =P(Z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis,and we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly lower thn 4.8 at 10% of signficance.

Answer:

\text{Average diameter is 1.65 mm and we decide that it is not 1.65 mm.}                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The needle size should not be too big and too small.

The diameter of the needle should be 1.65 mm.

We design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 1.65\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu \neq 1.65\text{ mm}

Sample size, n = 35

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 1.64 mm

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.07 mm

Type I error:

  • It is the error of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.
  • It is also known as false positive error.
  • It is the rejecting of a true null hypothesis.

Thus, type I error in this study would mean we reject the null hypothesis that the average diameter is 1.65 mm but actually the average diameters of the needle is 1.65 mm.

Thus, average diameter is 1.65 mm and we decide that it is not 1.65 mm.

Each side of a cube 2.5 cm long. what is the volume?
Firdavs [7]

V ≈ 15.63cm^3

volume of a cube = side × side × side = units^3

Volume = 2.5*2.5*2.5 = 15.63^3

Column A
Viefleur [7K]
The slope m of a line passing through points P(a, b) and Q(c, d) is found using the formula:

                     m= \frac{b-d}{a-c}.

Thus, the slope in A is m= \frac{12-2}{-4-(-10)}=\frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}.

The slope in B is m= \frac{-4-10}{6-18}=\frac{-14}{-12}=\frac{7}{6}.

Now, to compare 7/6  to 5/3, we can write the second fraction as 10/6.


So, the slope in A is larger than the slope in B.

Solve for m <br>5m - 10m = 20<br><br>can anyone help me out?​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

m=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

5m-10m=-10m+5m=-(10m-5m)=-5m=20

divide by 5 on both sides, -m=4

miltiply by -1 on both sides, m=-4
