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.

By what percent will a fraction change if its numerator is decreased by 20% and its denominator is decreased by 60%?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The fraction will increase by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):

= \frac{0.8x}{0.4y}\\= 2 (\frac {x}{y})

You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).

The ratio two numbers is 3 and 5 their sum is 135find two number
n200080 [17]

Let, the numbers = x,y

x/y = 3/5

total ratio units = 3+5 = 8

value of 1 unit = 135/8 = 16.875

So, numbers would be 3(16.875) & 5(16.875) = 50.625 & 84.375

so, your answer is 50.625 & 84.375
