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

Answer:

Volume of composite is 483  mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add the volume of a rectangular prism (7 mm x 12 mm x 3 mm) to a semi-cylinder (of radius 3.5 mm and height 12 mm):

Volume of the prism = 7 x 12 x 3 mm^3  = 252 mm^3

Volume of the semi-cylinder =  \frac{\pi\,\,R^2\,\,H}{2}  =  \frac{\pi\,\,(3.5)^2\,\,(12)}{2} =230.907 \,\,mm^3

Therefore the sum of both volumes gives:

(252 + 230.907) mm^3 = 482.907  mm^3

WHich can be rounded to the nearest whole number as: 483 mm^3

Cut 9ft piece into 12inch &amp; Every cut remove 1/8 inch
melamori03 [73]
So each foot is 12 inches so to remove 8 feet to get 12 in you need to remove 8 times 12 inches total or 96 in and each cut removes 1/8 in so times 96 by 8 and get 768 total cuts
