The mean consumption of bottled water by a person in the United States is 28.5 gallons per year. You believe that a person consu

me more than 28.5 gallons in bottled water per year. A random sample of 100 people in the United States has a mean bottled water consumption of 27.8 gallons per year with a standard deviation of 4.1 gallons. At α = 0.10 significance level can you reject the claim?

Answer:

t=\frac{27.8-28.5}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{100}}}=-1.707    

p_v =P(t_{99}

If we compare the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the consumption is less than 28.5 gallons at 0.1 of significance, so we can reject the claim that person consume more than 28.5 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

\bar X=27.8 represent the mean for the account balances of a credit company

s=4.1 represent the population standard deviation for the sample    

n=1000 sample size    

\mu_o =28.5 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean for the person consume is more than 28.5 gallons, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 28.5    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 28.5    

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case we can use the t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

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

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

t=\frac{27.8-28.5}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{100}}}=-1.707    

Calculate the P-value    

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=100-1=99

Since is a one-side lower test the p value would be:    

p_v =P(t_{99}

In Excel we can use the following formula to find the p value "=T.DIST(-1.707,99)"  

Conclusion    

If we compare the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the consumption is less than 28.5 gallons at 0.1 of significance, so we can reject the claim that person consume more than 28.5 gallons.

Conner played a total of  6 +3 + 6 = 15 games. He won or tied 6+ 3 = 9 games.

His percentage is 9/15 = 0.6 x 100 = 60%

April played 5+7+4 = 16 games and won or tied 5 +7 = 12 games.

Her percentage is: 12/16 = 0.75 x 100 = 75%

Tony played 20 games and won or tied 14.

His percentage is: 14/20 = 0.7 x 100 = 70%

April has the highest percentage so she is the one who should play.

A rectangular corral is enclosed using 120 m of fencing. The corral uses the side of a barn as one of its sides, so fencing is r
Yuliya22 [10]
The dimensions would be 40 m by 40 m.

To maximize area and minimize perimeter we make the dimensions as close to equal as possible.  Since we only need fencing on 3 sides, 120/3 = 40; we can use 40 for each side.

Amanda earned a score of 940 on a national achievement test that was normally distributed. The mean test score was 850 with a st
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

lower than Amanda:  816 students

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent way in which to state this problem is:  Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left (below) 940.

Most modern calculators have built in distribution functions.

In this case I entered the single command   normalcdf(-1000,940, 850, 100)

and obtained 0.816.

In this particular situation, this means that 0.816(1000 students) scored lower than Amanda:  816 students.
