A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past

studies of this tire, the standard deviation is known to be 8000. A survey of owners of that tire design is conducted. From the 28 tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 46,500 miles with a standard deviation of 9800 miles. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level?

Answer:

We conclude that deluxe tire averages less than 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced which means that the claim is not supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past studies of this tire, the standard deviation is known to be 8000.

From the 28 tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 46,500 miles with a standard deviation of 9800 miles.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = average miles for deluxe tires</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 50,000 miles   {means that deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 50,000 miles    {means that deluxe tire averages less than 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about population standard deviation;

                                  T.S.  = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean lifespan = 46,500 miles

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 8000 miles

            n = sample of tires = 28

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{46,500-50,000}{\frac{8000}{\sqrt{28} } }

                               =  -2.315

The value of the test statistics is -2.315.

Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as -2.315 < -1.6449, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that deluxe tire averages less than 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced which means that the claim is not supported.

Kevin and his children went into a restaurant and he bought $31.50 worth of hotdogs and drinks. Each hotdog costs $4.50 and each
stich3 [128]

Answer:

<em>He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Kevin and his children went into a restaurant and bought $31.50 worth of hotdogs and drinks. Each hotdog costs $4.50 and each drink costs $2.25.

To solve the system of equations, we'll call the variables:

x = number of hotdogs

y = number of drinks

The first condition yields the equation:

4.50x + 2.25y = 31.50          [1]

It's also known he bought 3 times as many hotdogs as drinks, thus:

x = 3y         [2}

Substituting [2] in [1]:

4.50(3y) + 2.25y = 31.50

Operating:

13.5y + 2.25y = 31.50

15.75y = 31.50

y = 31.50/15.75

y = 2

And

x = 3*2 = 6

He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks

Assumptions of a regression model can be evaluated by plotting and analyzing the ____________
Gala2k [10]

The assumptions of a regression model can be evaluated by plotting and analyzing the error terms.

Important assumptions in regression model analysis are

  1. There should be a linear and additive relationship between dependent (response) variable and independent (predictor) variable(s).
  2. There should be no correlation between the residual (error) terms. Absence of this phenomenon is known as auto correlation.
  3. The independent variables should not be correlated. Absence of this phenomenon is known as multi col-linearity.
  4. The error terms must have constant variance. This phenomenon is known as homoskedasticity. The presence of non-constant variance is referred to heteroskedasticity.
  5. The error terms must be normally distributed.

Hence we can conclude that the assumptions of a regression model can be evaluated by plotting and analyzing the error terms.
