Consider a paint-drying situation in which drying time for a test specimen is normally distributed with σ = 7. The hypotheses H0

: μ = 74 and Ha: μ < 74 are to be tested using a random sample of n = 25 observations. (a) How many standard deviations (of X) below the null value is x = 72.3? (b) If x = 72.3, what is the conclusion using a = 0.01?

Answer:

(a) The value \bar x = 72.3 is 1.21 standard deviations below the null value of <em>μ</em>.

(b) The mean drying time of paint is not less than 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for the single mean test is:

<em>H₀</em>: <em>μ</em> = 74 vs. <em>Hₐ</em>: μ < 74.

The information provided is:

<em>σ</em> = 7

<em>n</em> = 25

As the population standard deviation is known, we will use a <em>z</em>-test for single mean.

(a)

The <em>z</em>-score is a Normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1. It is also defined as the number of standard deviations a raw score is from the mean.

The <em>z</em>-score for sample mean is given by:

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}

If \bar x = 72.3 compute the corresponding <em>z</em>-score as follows:

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}

  =\frac{72.3-74}{7/\sqrt{25}}\\=-1.21

Thus, the value \bar x = 72.3 is 1.21 standard deviations below the null value of <em>μ</em>.

(b)

So the test statistic is, <em>z</em> = -1.21.

Compute the <em>p</em>-value of the test as follows:

p-value=P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The decision rule says to, reject the null hypothesis if the <em>p</em>-value is less than the significance level <em>α</em> = 0.01 and vice-versa.

<em>p</em>-value = 0.1131 < <em>α</em> = 0.01

The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.

Thus, the mean drying time of paint is not less than 74.

Can someone please help me.

I will give you everything I can do:

11)

Lets say Car A travels at x mph. That means Car B travels at x+2 mph.

Both of them are traveling towards each others, so we can say the total speed is 2x+2.

Now i takes 3 hrs and we know the distance.

Since R*T=D

Then 3(2x+2)=270

So 2x+2=90

2x=88

x=44

12)

To find perpendicular we want to find the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore the slope is 3/2.

Now we must find the equation of the line with the given variable.

First find b.

5=3/2*4+b

b = -1

So the equation of this line is:

y=3/2x-1

13) All work will be shown below.

6-3(-2-4x)=2(3(x-4)+7)

6+6+12x=2(3x-12+7)

12+12x=2(3x-5)

12+12x=6x-10

6x=-2

x = -1/3

14)

First we must find the amount each train traveled.

The speed of F train(Freight train)=x

The speed of P train(passenger train)=x+6

Their combined speed is 2x+6

It takes 2 hrs to cover 100 miles

So 2(2x+6)=100

2x+6=50

2x=44

x=22

So the freight train covered 44 miles and the passenger train covered 56 miles.

To find average speed you must do Total Distance/Total Time.

44/2 and 56/2

Which are 22 and 28.

The average speed of F train is 22 mph and average speed of P train is 28 mph.

15) Again opposite reciprocal.

3/5 -> -5/3

Work:

-4=-3*-5/3+b

-4=5+b

b=-9

y = -5/3x-9

16)

F=kx-kx0

First kx0 = 0

So F=kx

So x=F/k

Find the sum of the first 18 terms of the arithmetic sequence whose nth term is an = 3n - 1.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

495

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the sum of the first 18 terms you have to find the 18th term and the first term using the equation given.

a1=3(1)-1        a1=2

a18=3(18)-1   a18= 53

Then plug in 53 for an, 18 for n, and 2 in for a1 in the sum equation: Sn=n/2(a1+an)  

Sn=18/2(2+53)  Solve for sn= 495
