The melting point of each of 16 samples of a certain brand of hydrogenated vegetable oil was determined, resulting in ¯x = 94.32

. Assume that the distribution of the melting point is normal with σ = 1.20. (a) Test H0 : µ = 95 versus Ha : µ 6= 95 using a two-tailed level .01 test. (b) If a level .01 test is used, what is β(94), the probability of a type II error when µ = 94? (c) What value of n is necessary to ensure that β(94) = .1 when α = .01?

Answer:

Given:

Mean, x' = 94.32

s.d = 1.20

n = 16

a) For null hypothesis:

H0 : u= 95

For alternative hypothesis:

Ha : u≠95

Level of significance, a = 0.01

(Two tailed test)

We reject null hypothesis, h0, if P<0.01 level of significance.

Calculating the test statistic, we have:

Z = \frac{x' - u_0}{s.d / \sqrt{n}} = \frac{94.32-95}{1.20/ \sqrt{16}}

= -2.266

= -2.27

Calculating the P value:

P value = 2P(Z < -2.27)

Using the standard normal table,

NORMSDIST(-2.27)

= 0.0116

P value= 2(0.0116)

= 0.0232

Since P value(0.0232) is greater than level of significance (0.01), we fail to reject the null hypothesis H0.

We can say that there is enough evidence to conclude the data does not support that average melting point differs from the level of 95 at the level of 0.01 significance level.

b) B(u = 94)

= P(when u=94, do not reject H0)

Using the standard nkrmal table, the z-score corresponding to

Z(0.01/2)= 0.005 will be

Z_a_/_2 = 2.58

B(94) = ∅[Z_a_/_2+ \frac{u_0-u}{s.d- \sqrt{n}}] - ∅[-Z_a_/_2+ \frac{u_0-u}{s.d/ \frac{n}}]

B(94) = ∅[2.58+ \frac{95-94}{1.20- \sqrt{16}}] - ∅[-2.58+ \frac{95-94}{1.2/ \frac{16}}]

= ∅(5.91)-∅(0.75)

P(Z≤5.91)-P(Z≤0.75)

From standard normal table, we have:

P(Z≤0.75)=0.7734, P(Z≤5.91)=1

= 1 - 0.7734

= 0.2266

Probability of making type II error when u=94 is 0.2266

c) Probability of committing type II error when u= 94 at a significance level of 0.01 will be =0.10.

B(94) = 0.10

Finding sample size, n for a two tailed test:

n = [\frac{s.d(Z_a_/_2+Z_B)}{u_0-u}]^2

Using standard normal table, Z score corresponding to a/2 = 0.005 cummulative area(1-0.005 = 0.995) is Z= 2.58

Z score corresponding to 0.10 cummulative area(1-0.10 = 0.90) is Z = 1.28

Our sample size n, wil be=

n = [\frac{1.2(2.58+1.28)}{95-94}]^2

= [\frac{4.632}{1}]^2

= 21.46

= 22

Sample size = 22

If the angles of a triangle are 10 45 and 23 what is the perimerter of the triangle
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

No Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the angles has to be 180 degrees. It also is impossible to find the length of sides without at least one side, since the range of lengths is practically infinite. There are no solutions to this problem.

A company rents out 10 food booths and 25 game booths at the county fair. The fee for a food booth is $100 plus $2 per day. The
svetlana [45]

Answer:

2,250 + 95n

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a food booth = 100 + 2n

Cost of 10 food booth = 10(100 + 2n)

= 1,000 + 20n

Cost of a game booth = 50 + 3n

Cost of 25 game booth = 25(50 + 3n)

= 1,250 + 75n

Total amount earned by the company = Cost of 10 food booth + Cost of 25 game booth

= (1,000 + 20n) + (1,250 + 75n)

= 1,000 + 20n + 1,250 + 75n

= 1,000 + 1,250 + 20n + 75n

= 2,250 + 95n

Total amount earned by the company = 2,250 + 95n

What ratios that are equivalent to 4 to 7.
expeople1 [14]
4 to 7 =  4/7

5/8 is not.

12/20 = 6/10 = 3/5 . It is not equivalent.

8:14 = 4 : 7 .  It is equivalent

5 to 10 = 1 to 2.  It is not.

16/28 = 8/14 = 4/7.  It is equivalent.

9 to 16 = 9 to 16.  It is not equivalent.

So only 8:14 and 16/28  are equivalent to 4 to 7.

Find x on this triangle
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

3 sqrt(3) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj / hyp

cos 30 = x/6

6 cos 30 = x

6 ( sqrt(3)/2) = x

3 sqrt(3) =x
