The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5

for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with σ = 0.32 and that x = 5.24. (Use α = 0.05.) (a) Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: μ = 5.5
Ha: μ > 5.5H0: μ = 5.5
Ha: μ ≥ 5.5 H0: μ = 5.5
Ha: μ < 5.5H0: μ = 5.5
Ha: μ ≠ 5.5

Answer:  

z=-3.25

p_v =2*P(z  

Step-by-step explanation:  

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=5.24 represent the mean production for the sample  

\sigma=0.32 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample  

n=16 sample size  

\mu_o =5.5 represent the value that we want to test  

\alph=0.05a 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)  

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean production is different from 5.5 tons, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =5.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 5.5  

If we analyze the info given 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{s}{\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{5.24-5.5}{\frac{0.32}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3.25  

P-value

Since this is a two side test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the production its significant different compared to the desired percentage of SiO2 of 5.5 at 5% of signficance.

The product of two rational number is 7. If one of the number
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

7/12 OR 0.58 (2.d.p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Product means that the two rational numbers are being multiplied to get 7.

The question also tells us that one of them is 12. Therefore we can write an equation to express this information where we represent the unknown rational number using the letter 'r':

r x 12 = 7

Rearrange to find r:

r x 12 / 12 = 7 /12

r = 7/12 = 0.5833....

= 0.58 (2.d.p)

Hope this helped!

Jocelyn and her children went into a bakery and she bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.50 and each br
Yuliya22 [10]

Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.

Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:

0.75x + 3y = 9      (1)

Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0     (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2

Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Subtracting a number from x shifts the graph that may places tot he right

Subtracting a number at the end of the equation, shifts the graph that many units down.

The answer would be: Shift the graph of y = x^2 right 2 units and then down 10 units.
