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

Please help 5 questions I need help
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. <2, <7

2. 58

3. 78

4. a and b

h5. <2 and <7 ( i think this is the same question as the first one)

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 2x + 7 = 123 (you have to make them equal to each other because they are consecutive interior angles)

2x + 7 = 123, subtract 7

2x = 116, divide 2 for both sides to make x by itself

x = 58

3. 78 because of consecutive interior angles

Can you please help me

Here’s the answer and each step I took to solve it. With the example I made on the side just continue to repeat that for each one to get the answers. You just replace that one number for the X to take the place for the next X value as you go down the table solving them.

satela [25.4K]

Given:

Speed limit on a highway is 110 km per hour.

Let x be the speed of the car in time 't'

t\ge\frac{x}{110}

time when taken for a car to travel 132km.

\begin{gathered} t\ge\frac{132}{110} \\ t\ge1.2\text{ hours} \end{gathered}

It takes minimum 1 hour 12 minutes
