The bad debt ratio for a financial institution is defined to be the dollar values of loans defaulted divided by the total dollar

values of all loans made. A random sample of seven Ohio banks is selected.The bad debt ratios for these banks are 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 9%.The mean bad debt ratio for all federally insured banks is 3.5%.Federal banking officials claim that the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.(a) Set up the null and alternative hypotheses that should be used to justify this claim statistically. Assuming bad debt ratios for Ohio banks are normally distributed.
(b) Use the sample results give above to test the hypotheses you set up in part (a) with a α = .01. Interpret the outcome of the test.

Answer:

(a) NULL HYPOTHESIS, H_0 : \mu \leq  3.5%

    ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, H_1 : \mu > 3.5%

(b) We conclude that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of seven Ohio banks is selected.The bad debt ratios for these banks are 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 9%.The mean bad debt ratio for all federally insured banks is 3.5%.

We have to test the claim of Federal banking officials that the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.

(a) Let, NULL HYPOTHESIS, H_0 : \mu \leq  3.5% {means that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is less than or equal to the mean for all federally insured banks}

ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, H_1 : \mu > 3.5% {means that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test;

                T.S. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where,  \bar X = sample mean debt ratio of Ohio banks = 6%

             s = sample standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} } = 1.83%

             n = sample of banks = 7

So, test statistics = \frac{6-3.5}{\frac{1.83}{\sqrt{7} } }  ~ t_6

                             = 3.614

(b) Now, at 1% significance level t table gives critical value of 3.143. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of t so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.

Hence, Federal banking officials claim was correct.

Your electric bill has been as follows for the past six months:
kakasveta [241]

You want to find the monthly average over the past 6 months.


July: $78.56

August: $30.21

September: $81.20

October: $79.08

November: $66.18

December: $100.75


Add all of these up

(July) $78.56

(August) $30.21

(September) $81.20

(October) $79.08

(November) $66.18

(December) + $100.75

----------------------------------------------

(Total cost) $435.88


There are 6 months you are calculating for, therefore divide the total (combined) cost of 6 months with the total number of months (in this case, 6)


$435.88 (total cost of 6 months) ÷ 6 (months)


The average cost per month of over the past 6 months is $72.66.

Really confused and am on final attempt!
Flura [38]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the legs of a 30-60-90 triangle are 1 and \sqrt{3}, while the hypotenuse is 2.

the ratio of the legs is therefore 1 : \sqrt{3} → C

Exhibit 6-5 The weight of items produced by a machine is normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation o
hjlf

Answer:

46.18% of the items will weigh between 6.4 and 8.9 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weight of items produced by a machine is normally distributed with a mean of 8 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces.

<em>Let X =  weight of items produced by a machine</em>

The z-score probability distribution for is given by;

                Z = \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean weight = 8 ounces

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2 ounces

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, percentage of items that will weigh between 6.4 and 8.9 ounces is given by = P(6.4 < X < 8.9) = P(X < 8.9 ounces) - P(X \leq 6.4 ounces)

   P(X < 8.9) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{  8.9-8}{2} ) = P(Z < 0.45) = 0.67364  {using z table}

   P(X \leq 70) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{  6.4-8}{2} ) = P(Z \leq -0.80) = 1 - P(Z < 0.80)

                                                 = 1 - 0.78814 = 0.21186

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.45 and x = 0.80 in the z table which has an area of </em>0.67364<em> and </em>0.78814<em> respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(6.4 < X < 8.9) = 0.67364 - 0.21186 = 0.4618 or 46.18%

<em>Hence, 46.18% of the items will weigh between 6.4 and 8.9 ounces.</em>
