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.

Half x + 10 equals quarter x + 54
IgorLugansk [536]
½(x+10) = ¼(x+54)
Solving it

x/2 + 5 = x/4 + 13.5
x/2 - x/4 = 13.5 - 5
x/4 = 8.5
x = 8.5 × 4 = 34

Find the total weekly earnings for a waitress with a weekly salary of $257 plus a 4% commission on dinners, if the total worth o
ss7ja [257]
The waitress earns $425 weekly.

Work:
Use proportions.
x 4
------- = ------
4,200 100

4,200 x 4 = 16800
100 multiply x = 100x
16800 divided by 100 = 168
Commission = $168
Base salary = $257
$168 + $257 = $425

Answer:

(c) Stay the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Final angle will be same as initial angle. But length of lines will increase in both direction proportionally.

However any normal curve(closed or open ) will remain proportional to initial one. It is like a Zooming or magnifying of object.

HELP PLEASE<br> Solve for x:<br><br> x - 8 = 3x - 2<br><br><br> -3<br><br> -2<br><br> 3<br><br> 1
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the eight to both sides, leaving x on the left and making the -2 a 6 on the right.

Now you have x= 3x-6

Add the six to the right, giving you 6+x=3x

Subtract the x from the left and right. you get 6=2x

Divide 6 by 2 to get x.
