A federal agency responsible for enforcing laws governing weights and measures routinely inspects package to determine whether t

he weight of the contents is at least as great as that advertised on the package. A random sample of 18 containers whose packing states that the contents weigh 8 ounces was drawn. The contents were weighted and the results follow.: sample mean=7.91, and sample standard deviation=0.085. Can we conclude at 1% significance level that on average the containers are mislabeled?

Answer:

The calculated value |t|  = 4.493>2.567 at 0.01 level of significance with

17 degrees of freedom.

Therefore the null hypothesis is rejected.

The weight of the contents is not at least as great as that advertised on the package

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step:-(i)</u>

Given data a random sample of 18 containers whose packing states that the contents weigh 8 ounces was drawn.

sample size 'n' = 18

mean of the population 'μ' = 8

sample mean (x⁻) =7.91, and

sample standard deviation (S) = 0.085.

<u>Step:-(ii)</u>

Given data the weight of the contents is at least as great as that advertised on the package That is

<u>Null hypothesis : 'μ' > 8</u>

<u>Alternative hypothesis:μ' < 8</u>

<u>Level of significance α=0.01</u>

Test statistic :-

t = \frac{x^{-} -u}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

t = \frac{7.91 -8}{\frac{0.085}{\sqrt{18} } }

t = -4.493

|t| =|-4.493| = 4.493

Degrees of freedom of t- distribution γ =n-1 = 18-1=17

The tabulated value t= 2.567 at 0.01 level of significance.

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

The calculated value |t|  = 4.493>2.567 at 0.01 level of significance with

17 degrees of freedom.

Therefore the null hypothesis is rejected.

The alternative hypothesis is accepted

The weight of the contents is not at least as great as that advertised on the package.

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 1/4 fine the number
solmaris [256]

Answer:

x= -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose ,

The  number is x

now,

twice a number = 2 . x = 2x

The product of twice a number and six = 2x . 6 = 12x

  [ "product" means the result of multiplication]

Then,

Eleven times the number = 11 . x = 11x

The difference of eleven times the number and 1/4 = 11x - 1/4

                                                                                       =  (44x-1)/4

Hence,

 12x = (44x-1)/4

=>48x = 44x-1        [multiplied by 4 on both sides]    

=>48x-44x=-1         [subtract 44x on both sides]    

=>4x=-1                   [divide both sides by 4]  

=>x= -1/4

olga2289 [7]

Answer

s = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of S:

57 + s = 68

Substract 57 from both sides of the equation

s = 68 - 57

s = 11

Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play.
Flauer [41]

Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.
