A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars comple

tely. A sample of 8 jars has a mean of 15.6 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounces. Assume that the distribution of data is normal. At 10% significance level is there enough evidence to support the consumer’s suspicion that the machine is not filling the jars completely, and the amount of coffee in a cup is less than 16 ounces when filled? Please answer the question by completing the steps below.
a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses
b. Show calculations and state whether or not the null hypothesis is rejected.
c. State your conclusion addressing the original claim.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

b) t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=15.6 represent the mean for the sample

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=8 sample size  

\mu_o =16 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.  

Is a one tailed left test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?  

Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case 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{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol of each, and give an example of
Afina-wow [57]
Molarity and molality both describe the concentration of a substance in terms of moles.
Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume, typically per liter (mol/l).
Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg). 
When determining the molality of a solution, mol/kg can be obtained by finding the number of moles in the substance, and dividing that number by the the total weight in kilograms of that substance.
When determining the molarity of a solution, mol/l can be obtained by dividing the number of moles in a substance by the total volume in liters of that substance.
