A maker of a certain brand of low-fat cereal barsclaims that the average saturated fat content is 0.5gram. In a random sample of

8 cereal bars of thisbrand, the saturated fat content was 0.6, 0.7, 0.7, 0.3,0.4, 0.5, 0.4, and 0.2. Would you agree with the claim?Assume a normal distribution.

Answer:

t=\frac{0.475-0.5}{\frac{0.183}{\sqrt{8}}}=-0.386    

p_v =2*P(t_{(7)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is different from 0.5 at 5% of signficance.  So then the claim makes sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is \bar X=0.475

The sample deviation calculated s=0.183

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is 0.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 0.5  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

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

t-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:  

t=\frac{0.475-0.5}{\frac{0.183}{\sqrt{8}}}=-0.386    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=8-1=7  

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

p_v =2*P(t_{(7)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is different from 0.5 at 5% of signficance.  So then the claim makes sense

How to do this problem??
lorasvet [3.4K]
We know that the sum of the inner angles of any triangle is 180º

72º + (7x + 3)º + (3x + 5)º = 180º
72º + 7xº + 3º + 3xº + 5º = 180
7xº + 3xº = 180º - 72º - 3º - 5º
10xº = 100º
x^0 =  \frac{100^0}{10^0}
x^0 = 10\to\:\boxed{\boxed{x = 10^0}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

The sum of the external angle (9y + 1)º with inner angle (3x + 5) = 180 °, <span>Replace the measure of "x" found:
</span>
(9y + 1)º + (3x + 5)º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 3xº + 5º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 3.(10)º + 5º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 30º + 5º = 180º
9yº = 180º - 1º - 30º - 5º
9yº = 144º
y^0 =  \frac{144^0}{9^0}
y^0 = 16\to\:\boxed{\boxed{y = 16^0}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Answer:
<span>The measures ​​of "x" and "y" are respectively: 10º and 16º</span>

He can run 20 km in 95 minutes. He wants to know how many kilometers he will go if he runs at the same pace for 285 minutes.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

60km

Step-by-step explanation:

In 95 mins,he can run is 20km

In 1 min,he can run is 20/95

= 4/19in lowest

Now,

In 285 mins,he can run is=4/19*285

=4*15 in lowest

=60 km
