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 graph shows how the length of a buildings shadow at a certain time of day is related to the height of the building.
Artyom0805 [142]
A. the graph represents a relation because it contains ordered pairs (x,y). It is also a function because there are no repeating x values.

B. (0,0) (8,6)
slope = (6 - 0 ) / (8 - 0) = 6/8 = 3/4
so ur equation is : y = 3/4x or f(x) = 3/4x <===

C. the variable x represents the height of the building and the variable y (or f(x)) represents the total length of the shadow

The net of a square pyramid is shown below: Net of a square pyramid showing 4 triangles and the square base. The square base has
Neko [114]

Given:

The dimensions:

Square pyramid

Square base: 2x2

1 out of 4 triangles: 1/2x2x5

4 triangles: 2x2x5

To find:

The SURFACE AREA of the square pyramid

Find answer:

Step 1

Find the area of the square base -

Square base:

SA = L x W

= 2 x 2

= 4

<em>The surface area of the square is 4 square inches</em>

<em></em>

Step 2

Find the area of the 4 Triangles:

We will use a different formula here, to find 1 triangle, we will have to do:

SA = \frac{1}{2} *B*H

To find 2 triangles, we will do:

SA = B*H

But to find 4 triangles in just 1 step, we will do:

SA=2*B*H

Let's do it!

SA = 2*2*5\\=2*10\\=20

<em>The surface area of the 4 triangles are 20 square inches</em>

<em></em>

Step 3

Add answers to get FINAL ANSWER

Easy!

20+4=24

<h2>Hence, the Surface Area of the Square Pyramid is 24 square inches</h2>
