The bacterial strain Acinetobacter has been tested for its adhesion properties, which is believed to follow a normal distributio

n. A sample of five measurements gave readings of 2.69, 5.76, 2.67, 1.62 and 4.12 dyne-cm. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be 0.7 dyne-cm_2 and that the scientists are interested in high adhesion (at least 2.66 dyne-cm^2)(a) Should the alternative hypothesis be one-sided or two-sided? Write down the null and alternative hypotheses.(b) Based on your answer to part (a), test the hypothesis to see if the mean adhesion is at least 2.66 dyne-cm_2 (Use the p-value approach) What can be concluded?

Answer:

a) Alternative hypothesis should be one sided. Because Null and Alternative hypotheses are:

H_{0}: μ=2.66 dyne-cm.

H_{a}: μ<2.66 dyne-cm.

b) the hypothesis that mean adhesion is at least 2.66 dyne-cm is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ be the mean adhesion in dyne-cm.

a)

Null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_{0}: μ=2.66 dyne-cm.

H_{a}: μ<2.66 dyne-cm.

b)

First we need to calculate test statistic and then the p-value of it.

test statistic of sample mean can be calculated as follows:

t=\frac{X-M}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X  is the sample mean
  • M is the mean adhesion assumed under null hypothesis (2.66 dyne-cm)
  • s is the standard deviation known  (0.7 dyne-cm_2)
  • N is the sample size(5)

Sample mean is the average of 2.69, 5.76, 2.67, 1.62 and 4.12 dyne-cm, that is \frac{2.69+5.76+2.67+1.62+4.12}{5} ≈ 3.37

using the numbers we get

t=\frac{3.37-2.66}{\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{5} } } ≈ 2.27

The p-value is ≈ 0.043. Taking significance level as 0.05, we can conlude that sample proportion is significantly higher than 2.66 dyne-cm.

Thus, according to the sample the hypothesis that mean adhesion is at least 2.66  dyne-cm is true

33. Angle R is 68 degrees
35. The fraction 21/2 or the decimal 10.5
36. Triangle ACG
37. Segment AB
38. The values are x = 6; y = 2
40. The value of x is x = 29
41. C) 108 degrees
42. The value of x is x = 70
43. The segment WY is 24 units long
------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Problem 33) 
RS = ST, means that the vertex angle is at angle S
Angle S = 44
Angle R = x, angle T = x are the base angles
R+S+T = 180
x+44+x = 180
2x+44 = 180
2x+44-44 = 180-44
2x = 136
2x/2 = 136/2
x = 68
So angle R is 68 degrees
-----------------
Problem 35) 
Angle A = angle H
Angle B = angle I
Angle C = angle J
A = 97
B = 4x+4
C = J = 37
A+B+C = 180
97+4x+4+37 = 180
4x+138 = 180
4x+138-138 = 180-138
4x = 42
4x/4 = 42/4
x = 21/2
x = 10.5
-----------------
Problem 36) 
GD is the median of triangle ACG. It stretches from the vertex G to point D. Point D is the midpoint of segment AC
-----------------
Problem 37)
Segment AB is an altitude of triangle ACG. It is perpendicular to line CG (extend out segment CG) and it goes through vertex A.
-----------------
Problem 38) 
triangle LMN = triangle PQR
LM = PQ
MN = QR
LN = PR
Since LM = PQ, we can say 2x+3 = 5x-15. Let's solve for x
2x+3 = 5x-15
2x-5x = -15-3
-3x = -18
x = -18/(-3)
x = 6
Similarly, MN = QR, so 9 = 3y+3
Solve for y
9 = 3y+3
3y+3 = 9
3y+3-3 = 9-3
3y = 6
3y/3 = 6/3
y = 2
-----------------
Problem 40) 
The remote interior angles (2x and 21) add up to the exterior angle (3x-8)
2x+21 = 3x-8
2x-3x = -8-21
-x = -29
x = 29
-----------------
Problem 41) 
For any quadrilateral, the four angles always add to 360 degrees
J+K+L+M = 360
3x+45+2x+45 = 360
5x+90 = 360
5x+90-90 = 360-90
5x = 270
5x/5 = 270/5
x = 54
Use this to find L
L = 2x
L = 2*54
L = 108
-----------------
Problem 42) 
The adjacent or consecutive angles are supplementary. They add to 180 degrees
K+N = 180
2x+40 = 180
2x+40-40 = 180-40
2x = 140
2x/2 = 140/2
x = 70
-----------------
Problem 43) 
All sides of the rhombus are congruent, so WX = WZ.
Triangle WPZ is a right triangle (right angle at point P).
Use the pythagorean theorem to find PW
a^2+b^2 = c^2
(PW)^2+(PZ)^2 = (WZ)^2
(PW)^2+256 = 400
(PW)^2+256-256 = 400-256
(PW)^2 = 144
PW = sqrt(144)
PW = 12
WY = 2*PW
WY = 2*12
WY = 24

2.) Bob has two weekend jobs. Last weekend he made a total of $77 after
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= money earned per hour working as a cashier.

y=money earned per hour working delivering newspapers.

We propose the following system of equations:

5x + 4y =77

6x + 3y=78

We solve the system by reduction method:

-6*(5x+4y=77) ⇒  -30x-24y=-462

5*(6x+3y=78)⇒     30x+15y=390

                             ---------------------------

                                     -9y=-72  ⇒   y=-72 /-9=8

Now, we get the value of "x" replacing the value of "y" by "8" in any part of the equation above.

5x + 4(8)=77

5x+32=77

5x=77-32

5x=45

x=45/5=9

therefore;  

money earned per hour working as a cashier= $9/ hour

money earned per hour working delivering newspapers=$8/hour

HELP IMMEDIATELY!! ATTACHMENT<br>I'm not sure on how to find the y intercept please help! thanks
Yuliya22 [10]

well if you can find the slope then choose one of your ordered pair and plug them in tot he corresponding variable. since you don't know what the y intercept you basically find x which will be the y int.
