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

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

(3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a graphing calculator called desmos that can help you answer questions like this, but, if you don't want to use that, you can just make a graph and imagine the transformation. Remember, when you reflect something over an axis, it is like you are folding the graph along the axis and your new point will be on the other side.

How do I find the radius of a circle
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Just remember to divide the diameter by two to get the radius. If you were asked to find the radius instead of the diameter, you would simply divide 7 feet by 2 because the radius is one-half the measure of the diameter. The radius of the circle is 3.5 feet. You can also use the circumference and radius equation.
