You work in the HR department at a large franchise. you want to test whether you have set your employee monthly allowances corre

ctly. the population standard deviation is 150. You want to test if the monthly allowances should be increased. A random sample of 40 employees yielded a mean monthly claim of $640.
1- at the 1% significance level, test if the average monthly allowances should be greater than 500(use the 5 steps hypothesis testing procedure)

2- Confirm your answer by the p value approach.

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 500  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 500  

z=\frac{640-500}{\frac{150}{\sqrt{40}}}=5.90  

For this case since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.01 of the area in the right and we got:

z_{crit}= 2.33

For this case we see that the calculated value is higher than the critical value

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enugh evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance level

2) Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>5.90)=1.82x10^{-9}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, same conclusion for part 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Data given

\bar X=640 represent the sample mean

\sigma=150 represent the population standard deviation

n=40 sample size  

\mu_o =500 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

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

Step1:State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is higher than 500, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 500  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 500  

Step 2: Calculate the statistic

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

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

z=\frac{640-500}{\frac{150}{\sqrt{40}}}=5.90  

Step 3: Calculate the critical value

For this case since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.01 of the area in the right and we got:

z_{crit}= 2.33

Step 4: Compare the statistic with the critical value

For this case we see that the calculated value is higher than the critical value

Step 5: Decision

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enugh evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance level

Part 2

P-value  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>5.90)=1.82x10^{-9}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, same conclusion for part 1

K = {(-3, -3), (-4, -4), (-5, -5), (-6, -6)} Is K a function and why? No, there is a limited number of ordered pairs in this lis
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Yes, no two ordered pairs in this list has the same second element.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a relation that associates to different elements x_1 and x_2 different elements y_1 and y_2.

Given K = {(-3, -3), (-4, -4), (-5, -5), (-6, -6)}

So,

  • x_1=-3\rightarrow y_1=-3;
  • x_2=-4\rightarrow y_2=-4;
  • x_3=-5\rightarrow y_3=-5;
  • x_4=-6\rightarrow y_4=-6.

Since different x have different image points y, this relation is the function. The correct answer is "Yes, no two ordered pairs in this list has the same second element."

f(x)= 1/x, vertically stretched by a factor of 7, reflected in the y-axis, translated 5 units to the right, and translated 3 uni
Harman [31]

Answer:

-7/(x-5) - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, to reflect an equation in the y axis, just multiply by -1. Now that it is reflected, to stretch an equation by a factor of 7, multiply it by 7. Now we have -7/x.

Then, to move an equation down by 3 units, simply subtract it by 3. Now we have -7/x - 3.

Lastly, since you want to translate it 5 units to the left, you want the equation to be undefined at x = 5 (because originally it is undefined at x = 0). To do that, set the denominator to x - 5. We arrive at our answer: -7/(x-5) - 3.

The planet Venus has a mass of 4.869 ∙ 1024 kilograms. Use scientific notation to express the planet’s mass in milligrams. 1 kil
Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>To do this you need to multiple 1,024 by 1,000,000 to get 1,024,000,000 and then convert it to scientific notation. For that you need to know how many places there are after the first number. In this case it is 9. This will be 1.024 x 10^9. You have to remember that it is to the power of however many numbers are after the first. So even though we show 3 digits after the . we still have to include those in the power.</span>

Someone help me fast please
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Perimeter of WXY = WSY+WRX+XY</u>

<em>--> WSY = SY x 2</em>

--> WSY = 16 x 2 = 32

<em>Since it is an isosceles triangle, WRX = WSY</em>

--> WRX = 32

<em>--> Draw a straight line from W to XY to divide it into two halves assuming it to be point A. This would form a right angle triangle of WAX.</em>

<em>--> Solve it using the cos theta rule</em>

--> Angle = Angle X = 70°

    Hypotenuse = WRX = 32

    Adjacent = WA = ?

<em>--> Cos (Angle) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse</em>

    Cos (70) = WA/32

    WA = 10.9 rounded off to 11

--> WA=AY= 11

--> XY = WA + AY = 11+11 = 22

<em>--> Perimeter = WSY+WRX+XY</em>

    Perimeter = 32+32+22

    Perimeter = 86

Therefore, the perimeter of WXY is 86.
