The mean weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and the

ir weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. Does the sample data show a significant increase in the average birthrate at a 5% level of significance?
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is 6.6 lb.
B. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than 6.6 lb.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is greater than 6.6 lb.
D. Cannot calculate because the population standard deviation is unknown

Answer:

The correct option is  A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  population is  \mu  =  6.6

     The level of significance is \alpha  =  5\%  = 0.05

      The sample data is  9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds

The Null hypothesis is H_o  :  \mu =  6.6

 The Alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu  > 6.6

The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is

                       Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05 } = 1.645

Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as

      \=x =  \frac{\sum x_i }{n}

substituting values

      \=x =  \frac{9.0 +  7.3 +  6.0+ 8.8+ 6.8+ 8.4+6.6 }{7}

      \=x =  7.5571

The standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

           \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{\sum  [ x -  \= x ]}{n} }

substituting values

          \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{  [ 9.0-7.5571]^2 + [7.3 -7.5571]^2 + [6.0-7.5571]^2 + [8.8- 7.5571]^2 + [6.8- 7.5571]^2 + [8.4 - 7.5571]^2+ [6.6- 7.5571]^2 }{7} }\sigma =  1.1774

Generally the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as

            t  =  \frac{\= x - \mu }  { \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }

substituting values

           t  =  \frac{7.5571  - 6.6  }  { \frac{1.1774 }{\sqrt{7} } }

            t  = 1.4274

Looking at the value of  t and  Z_{\alpha }   we see that t  <  Z_{\alpha } hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

  What this implies is that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample data show as significant increase in the average birth rate

The conclusion is that the mean is  \mu = 6.6  \ lb

Find the distance between the pair of points: (2,6) and (0,−3).
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

d = √85

Step-by-step explanation:

d^2 = (X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2

= (2 - 0)^2 + (6 + 3)^2

= 4 + 81

d = √85

If a physician order is 25% dextrose 1000 mL and all you have is 70% dextrose 1000 mL and 5% dextrose how much 70% dextrose will
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1000ml Of Dextrose 25% is needed to be produced from Dextrose 70%. Let us assume that x ml of Dextrose 70% is mixed with a Dextrose 5% to get 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%. Hence:

The amount of Dextrose 5% = 1000 ml - x ml = 1000 - x

25% of 1000 ml = 70% of x + 5% of (1000 - x)

25000 = 70x + 5000 - 5x

Simplifying gives:

65x = 25000 - 5000

65x = 20000

x = 308 ml

Therefore 308 ml of Dextrose 70% was mixed with 692 ml of Dextrose 5% to produce 1000 ml of Dextrose 25%.
