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.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

58.25

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the total cost of the meal, fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.

First, find the cost of the meal, which is forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents.

To calculate the amount of the sales tax, use the proportion, amount of sales tax divided by cost of meal equals sales tax rate divided by one hundred.

Substitute the known values. Amount of sales tax divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals four point five divided by one hundred.

Cross multiply. One hundred times amount of the sales tax equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times four point five.

Divide both sides by one hundred to find that the sales tax equals two dollars and nineteen cents.

Then, to calculate the amount of the tip, use the proportion, amount of tip divided by cost of meal equals tip percent rate divided by one hundred.

Again, substitute the known values into the proportion, amount of tip divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals fifteen divided by one hundred.

Then, cross multiply. One hundred times amount of tip equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times fifteen.

And, divide both sides by one hundred to find that the tip equals seven dollars and thirty-one cents.

Finally, add the amounts together to find the total cost of the meal was fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.

Temka [501]

Answer:

p and n

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a system of equations given graphically is at the point of intersection of the 2 lines.

The lines p and n intersect at (3, 6)

Thus (3, 6) is the solution to the system of equations represented by p and n
