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

A coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15. There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dim
valentinak56 [21]

45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number of nickels

Let "d" be the number of dimes

We know that,

value of 1 nickel = $ 0.05

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

<em><u>Given that There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dimes</u></em>

Number of nickels = 3 + 2(number of dimes)

n = 3 + 2d ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Also given that coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15</u></em>

number of nickels x value of 1 nickel + number of dimes x value of 1 dime = 9.15

n \times 0.05 + d \times 0.10 = 9.15

0.05n + 0.10d = 9.15  ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

0.05(3 + 2d) + 0.10d = 9.15

0.15 + 0.1d + 0.10d = 9.15

0.2d = 9

<h3>d = 45</h3>

From eqn 1

n = 3 + 2(45)

n = 3 + 90 = 93

<h3>n = 93</h3>

Thus 45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

The quadratic regression graphed on the coordinate grid represents the height of a road surface x meters from the center of the
andrew-mc [135]

The height of the surface increases, then decreases, from the center out to the sides of the road.

<h3>What is quadratic equation?</h3>

The polynomial having a degree of 2 is defined as the quadratic equation it means that the variable will have a maximum power of 2.

Let

y------> the height of the surface

x------> the road

we know that

The quadratic regression graphed represent a vertical parabola open downward

The function increase in the interval --------> (-5,0)        

The function decrease in the interval -------->   (0,5)

therefore

The height of the surface increases, then decreases, from the center out to the sides of the road.
