An average computer mouse inspector can inspect 50 mice per hour. The 48 computer mice inspectors at a particular factory can on

ly inspect 46 mice per hour with a standard deviation of 10. At a = 0.025, does the company have reason to believe that these inspectors are slower than average?
A. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the noncritical region
B. No, because - 1.59 falls in the critical region
C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region
D. No, because -1.59 falls in the noncritical region

Answer:  C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu be the population mean .

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu=50\\\\ H_a: \mu

Since the alternative hypothesis is left-tailed and population standard deviation is not given , so we need to perform a left-tailed t-test.

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

Also, it is given that ,

n= 48

\overline{x}=46

s= 10

t=\dfrac{46-50}{\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{48}}}=\dfrac{-4}{\dfrac{10}{6.93}}\\\\=\dfrac{-4}{1.443}\approx-2.77

Degree of freedom = df = n-1= 47

Using t-distribution , we have

Critical value =t_{\alpha,df}=t_{0.025,47}=2.0117

Since, the absolute t-value (|-2.77|=2.77) is greater than the critical value.

So , we reject the null hypothesis.

i.e. -2.77 falls in the critical region.

[Critical region is the region of values that associates with the rejection of the null hypothesis at a given probability level.]

Conclusion : We have sufficient evidence to support the claim that these inspectors are slower than average.

Hence, the correct answer is C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region

The temperature fell from 0 Degrees Fahrenheit to 15 and one-half Degrees Fahrenheit below 0 in 5 and three-fourths hours. Wen t
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

-\dfrac{62}{23}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

Initial temperature, T_1 = 0^\circ F

Final temperature,

T_2 = -15\dfrac{1}{2}^\circ F\\\Rightarrow T_2 = -\dfrac{15\times 2+1}{2} ^\circ F\\\Rightarrow T_2 = -\dfrac{31}{2} ^\circ F

Time taken :

5\dfrac{3}{4}\ hrs = \dfrac{5 \times 4+3}{4}\ hrs = \dfrac{23}{4}\ hrs

Change in temperature per hour:

\dfrac{\text{Difference of temperature}}{\text{Total Time Taken}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{T_2-T_1}{\text{Total Time Taken}}

Putting the values of temperatures and time:

\dfrac{\dfrac{-31}{2}-0}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{-31}{2}}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-31 \times 4}{2 \times 23}} \text{---- Error done by Wen at this step}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-31 \times 2}{23}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-62}{23}}

The error done by Wen was during calculating the values of fraction.

So, the correct answer is :\frac{-62}{23}} instead of \frac{-713}{8}

What is the slope and y- intercept of the line passing through (11,-3) and (7,9)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Slope is -3, y-intercept is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the two points (11,-3) and (7,9), plug them into the formula y2-y1/x2-x2=m. Now, you have 9-(-3)/7-11 which gives you 12/-4, 12/-4 can be simplified into -3 which is your slope. To find y-intercept you must use the formula y=mx+b. Plug -3, your slope, into m, and any of the coordinates on your line into the y and x; I used (7,9). You solve for b from 9=-3*7+b. -3*7 gives you -21, now you have 9=-21+b, to get b by itself, you add 21 to both sides, 30=b. B is your y-intercept.
