Use this information to answers Questions 1 through 7. The U.S. government provides money to each state to maintain the intersta

te highway system in the state. The U.S. can revoke or reduce the money if the states do not safely maintain the highways. The U.S. government is particularly concerned about the speed of traffic on Kansas highways. If there is convincing evidence that the average speed of all interstate highway vehicles in Kansas exceeds the posted speed limit of 70 mph, the federal government will reduce the amount of funding it provides. If there is not convincing evidence, then the government will not reduce the funding.
Kansas Highway Patrol recorded the speed of 450 interstate vehicles and found the mean speed of 70.2 mph with standard deviation 1.6 mph. The U.S. government will use this information to conduct a hypothesis test at significance level 0.01 to decide whether or not to reduce to money sent to Kansas.

Suppose that mu is the true mean speed of all vehicles on the Kansas interstate highway system.

1. What are the null and alternative hypotheses that the U.S. government should test?
2. What is the value of the test statistic?

Answer:

1. Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq  70 mph

  Alternate Hypothesis<u>,</u> H_A : \mu > 70 mph

2. Value of test statistics is 2.652.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Kansas Highway Patrol recorded the speed of 450 interstate vehicles and found the mean speed of 70.2 mph with standard deviation 1.6 mph.

We have to conduct a hypothesis test at significance level 0.01 to decide whether or not to reduce the money sent to Kansas.

<em><u>Let </u></em>\mu<em><u> = true mean speed of all vehicles on the Kansas interstate highway system.</u></em>

SO, <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : \mu \leq  70 mph   {means that the federal government will not reduce the amount of funding it provides as the speed limit is less than or equal to 70 mph}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis,</u> H_A : \mu > 70 mph   {means that the federal government will reduce the amount of funding it provides as the speed limit exceed 70 mph}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                        T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean speed limit of 450 interstate vehicles = 70.2 mph

             s = sample standard deviation = 1.6 mph

             n = sample of vehicles = 450

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =   \frac{70.2-70}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{450} } }  ~ t_4_4_9

                               =  2.652

<u><em>Hence, the value of test statistics is 2.652.</em></u>

Solve for x using Logarithm<br>4^x+6^x =9^x​
vitfil [10]
4^x + 6^x = 9^x

4^x + 6^x - 9^x = 0

2^2x + (2×3)^x - 3^2x = 0

2^2x + 2^x×3^x - 3^2x = 0

(⅔)^2x + (⅔)^x - 1 = 0

let t = ( ⅔)^x

t² + t - 1 = 0

t = (-1+√5 ) / 2

(⅔)^x = (-1+√5 ) / 2

x = Log base ⅔ ((-1+√5 ) / 2 )


x = 1.18681

Jack’s shipping company has to transport boxes of industrial nuts and industrial bolts to its clients. Each box of industrial nu
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boxes of nuts be x and the boxes of bolts by y.

The weight of nut box is 100 kg and the weight of bolt box is 200 kg.The maximum weight the company’s cargo container can hold is 24,000 kilograms.

100x+200y\leq 24000

x+2y\leq 240                             .... (1)

The company needs to transport a minimum of 160 boxes per cargo container.

x+y\geq 160                             .... (2)

Plot the above inequalities on the coordinate plane.

The related equations are

x+2y=240                        .... (3)

x+y=160                           .... (4)

The x-intercept of equation 3 is (240,0) and the y-intercept is (0,120).

The x-intercept of equation 4 is (160,0) and the y-intercept is (0,160).

Check the inequality by (0,0).

0+2(0)\leq 240

0\leq 240

This statement is true, therefore the shaded region of inequality (1) contains (0,0).

x+y\geq 160

0+0\geq 160\

0\geq 160

This statement is false, therefore the shaded region of inequality (2) does not contains (0,0).

Therefore graph (2) represents the solution and option B is correct.
