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 mountain climber weighs 42.0 N. If he climbs a hill 100m high. Calculate the work done in joules​
quester [9]

Answer:

The answer is 4200 J.

Explanation:

The formula of work done is, W = F×D where F is the force of an object and D is the distance. Then you just substitute the values into the equation :

W = F×D

F = 42N

D = 100m

W = 42 × 100

= 4200 J

Energy that cannot be used to do useful work is referred to as Select one: a. potential energy. b. entropy. c. kinetic energy. d
topjm [15]

In thermodynamics, entropy (symbolized as S) is a physical magnitude for a thermodynamic system in equilibrium. It measures the number of microstates compatible with the equilibrium macrostate, it can also be said that it is the reason for an increase between internal energy versus an increase in system temperature.

The universe tends to distribute energy evenly; that is, to maximize entropy. Intuitively, entropy is a physical quantity that, by calculation, allows us to determine the part of energy per unit of temperature that cannot be used to produce work.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
