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

Explain the difference between an inequality with OR and an inequality with AND.
maksim [4K]

Inequality with OR: We use OR when you have two or more cases that could or not happen at the same time, for example with inequalities when you have an OR you use the union of the sets given by the inequalities. for example if we have the following two inequalities

x\ge1\text{ or x}\leq0

it will represent the union of the set of numbers that are greater than one with the set of the numbers that are less than zero.

Inequality with AND: We use AND when you need that all the conditions holds at the same time (here is not accepted that only one holds) for example with inequalities when you have AND you need to use the intersection of the sets given by the inequalities. For example:

x\ge2\text{ AND x}\leq10

will represent the intersection of the set of number that are greater than two and less than ten AT THE SAME TIME

Explain what the equation 110d = 100d + 40 represents<br>in the context of the example problem.​
Tanya [424]

<em>This means that at some specific number of days the cost for Oceanview and  Beachside will be the same.</em>

<h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2>

See the complete question in the attached file. In this exercise, we know that Oceanview charges $100 per day plus a one-time fee of $40. This can be represented by the following equation:

Total cost for Oceanview:

c=100d+40

Total cost for Beachside:

c=110d

Where:

c:Represents \ the \ cost \\ \\ d:Represents \ the \ number \ of \ day

So we have to explain what the equation:

110d=100d+40

represents in the context of the problem. We have used substitution in order to get that equation, so <em>this means that at some specific number of days the cost for Oceanview and  Beachside will be the same.</em>

This value was calculated and we get that<em> the cost at the hotels will be the same after 4 days and it will be $440.</em>

Jerry was comparing the points the bulls socered for different games he recorded 85,85, 86,77, 93 determine the mean median mode
maks197457 [2]
Answers:
Mean - 85.2
Median - 85
Mode - 85

Explanation:
Mean - 77+85+85+86+93=426/5 (the amount of data points given) = 85.2

Median - Organize the data points from least to greatest and eliminate the outermost numbers two at a time (one from both side) until you’re left with one.

Mode - The number that appears the most often in a given data set

Find the domain of the function f(x)=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%5E3-16x%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt{x^3
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x^3-16x}

We know that the domain of the function is the set of input or arguments for which the function is real and defined.  

In other words,  

  • Domain refers to all the possible sets of input values on the x-axis.

Now, determine non-negative values for radicals so that we can sort out the domain values for which the function can be defined.

x^3-16x\ge 0

as x³ - 16x ≥ 0

\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)\ge \:0

Thus, identifying the intervals:

-4\le \:x\le \:0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x\ge \:4

Thus,

The domain of the function f(x) is:

x\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)\ge \:0\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-4\le \:x\le \:0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x\ge \:4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left[-4,\:0\right]\cup \:[4,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}

And the Least Value of the domain is -4.
