An environmentalist group collects a liter of water from each of 52 random locations along a stream and measures the amount of d

issolved oxygen in each specimen. The mean is 2.78 milligrams (mg). Is this strong evidence that the stream has a mean oxygen content of less than 3 mg per liter? (Suppose we know that dissolved oxygen varies among locations according to a Normal distributions with σ = 0.85 mg. Use α = 0.05.)

Answer:

z=\frac{2.78-3}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{52}}}=-1.866    

Now we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v =P(z

Since the p value is lower than the significance level of 0.05 given we have enough evidence to REJECT the null hypothesis and the conclusion would be that the true mean for the oxygen content is ignificantly less than 3 mg per liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Info given

\bar X=2.78 represent the mean for the amount of dissolved oxygen

\sigma=0.85 represent the population standard deviation

n=52 sample size selected

\mu_o =3 represent the level that we want to verify

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

In the problem we want to determine if the stream has a mean oxygen content of less than 3 mg per liter, the hypothesi are:    

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 3    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 3    

Since we know the population deviation the statistic can be calculated like this:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{2.78-3}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{52}}}=-1.866    

Now we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v =P(z

Since the p value is lower than the significance level of 0.05 given we have enough evidence to REJECT the null hypothesis and the conclusion would be that the true mean for the oxygen content is ignificantly less than 3 mg per liter

Just runs 11 miles in 67 minutes how many miles does he run per minute<br>​
alina1380 [7]

Answer

Just runs 7 minutes per mile

Step by Step explanation

Divide 11 by both numbers which leaves you with

1/6

Because you have to divide 11 by 11 and 67 by 11

when you calculate it you get 6.090909091

so you can round it to 7.

Ericka decided to compare her observation to the average annual trend, which shows the water rising 1.8 mm/year. Remember, she u
Alex787 [66]

Answer with explanation:

Presume that, initial water level to be, 0 mm, at a time t=0.

And water level is rising at the rate of 1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}.

 After 6.2 years level of water will be =1.8 × 6.2

                                                           =11.16 mm

→Averge, that is increase in water level after 6.2 years is given by

                     =\frac{W_{2}-W_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}\\\\=\frac{11.16-0}{6.2-0}\\\\=\frac{11.16}{6.2}\\\\=1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}

→→Rate of Depreciating of water level is given by = Negative of Increase of water level=-1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}

If someone understands this please help
katrin [286]

Answer:

A= 4

B= 4

C= -1

D= 4

E= -1

F= 4

G= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value equation is the probability of something happening multiplied by the amount of times it happens. In this case you have four equal sized sections, so you have a one in four chance to land in any of these sections. A, B, D, and F represent the four for this one in four chance. C, E, and G represent the amount of points you get when you land on those sections, in this case -1
