A coffee packaging plant claims that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces. A random sample of 15 co

ntainers were weighed and the mean weight was 31.8 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 0.48 ounces. At the 0.01 significance level, test the claim that the mean weight is at least 32 ounces. Assume a normal distribution and complete the test below.
The critical value is _____

Answer:

We conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coffee packaging plant claims that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces.

A random sample of 15 containers were weighed and the mean weight was 31.8 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 0.48 ounces.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean weight of coffee in its containers.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 32 ounces     {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 32 ounces      {means that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is less than 32 ounces}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                             T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean weight = 31.8 ounces

             s = sample standard deviation = 0.48 ounces

             n = sample of containers = 15

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{31.8 -32}{\frac{0.48}{\sqrt{15} } }  ~ t_1_4  

                                      =  -1.614

The value of t test statistics is -1.614.

<u>Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.624 at 14 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as -1.614 > -2.624, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean weight of coffee in its containers is at least 32 ounces which means that the data support the claim.

What is the sum of 13+52 as the product of their GCF and another sum
vova2212 [387]
GCF(13; 52) = 13

13 = 13 · 1
52 = 13 · 4

13 + 52 = 13 · 1 + 13 ·4 = 13·(1 + 4)

Y= (x-1)^2 + 2 <br><br> change this equation into standard form
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

x² - 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x - 1)² + 2

= (x - 1)² + 2 [a - b]² = <em><u>a²- 2ab + b²</u></em>

= x²- 2x + 1 + 2

= x² - 2x + 3

Thus, the standard form of the equation is x² - 2x + 3

At a recent breakfast, four friends paid for their own drinks and shared the cost of a bag of donuts. Joe's drink was $1.75. He
Nitella [24]

Answer:

$5.80

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer, we must first subtract the toal cost Joe paid by the amount he paid for his drink, because ha paid for his drink separately. so:

3.20 - 1.75 = 1.45

And because there were a total of 4 friends, we mulitply the answer by 4:

1.45 * 4 = 5.8

So, the bag of donuts costed $5.80

Hope this helps :)
