The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales

representatives make an average of 40 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 28 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 42. The standard deviation of the sample is 2.1 calls. Using the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 40?

Answer:

Yes, the mean number is more than 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis  

H0 = mean is 40

Let´s make the t test

t = (x – mean) / standard deviation / √sample size

t = (42 – 40) / 2.1 / √28

t = 5.039

now we find t value for one tail, using a T-distribution table

df = n – 1 = 27

α = 0.05

so, t = 1.703

since our calculated t value is greater than the t for the table, the null hypothesis can be rejected. So the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 40.

There are seven ice skaters in a competition. How many different possibilities are there for the top three places? (A different
zubka84 [21]
210 possibilities, if I am not mistaken.

I did a tree diagram. You first name the seven skaters (skater 1, skater 2, skater 3, ect..) and write them in a row.

After you do that, do 6 arrows from each number because you cannot have skater 1 be first and second place, same with 2 and 3 and so on, so you need only 6 arrows. Make sure when you label the arrows that none of the arrows are labeled as the first skater number you drew in the beginning.

Finally, from each arrow you just drew, draw 5 arrows labeled each skater EXCEPT the skater you drew in the beginning and the second skater.

To save time, you could just do all of the steps above for only one beginning skater. You don't have to do it to all of them, you would run out of paper and it would be super messy.

Count all of the outside arrows. You should have 30. Then, since there are 7 skaters and you did only one, do 30x7, which gives you the total outcomes of 210 possibilities.

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient .179/9
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

179 divided by 9 is approximately 19.88. Rounded to the nearest tenth, it is 19.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the .8 in 19.88 is above the number 5, the number will get rounded to a higher number ( 9).
