Answer:

The answer is: When the sample mean is not a whole number.

Explanation:

The "Sum of Squares" <em>(SS)</em> refers to the measure of the distance from the mean. This can be computed by subtracting each of the measurements from the mean. The difference will then be squared and the measurement results will be added together. This formula is known as "definitional formula." This is preferably used when the mean is a whole number and there are only a few number of scores.

On the contrary, the "computational formula" allows the calculation of the concept values. This is preferably used when the mean is not a whole number and when there are many scores.

A study by Consumer Reports showed that 64% of supermarket shoppers believe supermarket brands to be as good as national name br
natima [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A study is conducted and the study by Consumer Reports showed that 64% of supermarket shoppers believe supermarket brands to be as good as national name brands.

a)

Thus; we formulate the null and the alternative hypotheses as follows:

The proportion is ; \frac{64}{100} = 0.64

Null hypothesis:    {H_0}:p = 0.64  

The Null hypothesis states that there is no evidence that “the percentage of supermarket shoppers believes that the supermarket ketchup is good as the national brand ketchup differ form 64%”.

Alternative hypothesis: {H_a}:p \ne 0.64H

The Alternative hypothesis states that there is evidence that “the percentage of supermarket shoppers believes that the supermarket ketchup is good as the national brand ketchup differ form 64%”.

b)

The proportion of the population = 0.64

The sample size n = 100

The number of shoppers = 52  stating that the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand

The sample proportion \hat  p = \frac{52}{100}

\hat  p = 0.52

The z - value is calculated by the formula:

z = \dfrac{\hat p-p}{\frac{\sqrt{ p(1-p)}}{100 }}

z = \dfrac{0.52-0.64}{\frac{\sqrt{ 0.64(1-0.64)}}{100 }}

z = \dfrac{-0.12}{0.048 }}

z = -2.50

Since z = -2.50

the p-value = 2P(Z ≤ -2.50)

p-value = 2 × 0.0062

The p-value = 0.0124

c)

At  significance level,  ∝ = 0.05 ; The p-value = 0.0124

According to  the rejection rule, if p-value is less than 0.05 then we will reject null hypothesis at ∝ = 0.05

Hence, the p-value =0.0124 < ∝ (=0.05)

According to the reject rule; reject null hypothesis.

Conclusion: There is no evidence at all that the percentage of supermarket shoppers believes that the supermarket ketchup is good as the national brand ketchup differ form 64%.

d) we know that the significance level of ∝  = 0.05

The value{z__{0.05}}  is obtained as:

P\left( {\left| Z \right| \le z} \right) = 0.05

Now; to determine Z ; we locate the probability value of 0.05 form the table of standard normal distribution. Then we proceed to the left until the  first column is reached and  the value is 1.90. Also , we move upward until we reach the top and the value is 0.06. Now; the intersection of the row and column results the area  to the left of z

This implies that :P(Z \leq -1.96)=0.05

The critical value for left tail is -1.96 and the critical value for right tail is 1.96.

Conclusion:

The critical value is -1.96 and the value of test statistic is - 2.50.  Here, we can see that  the value of test statistic is lesser than the critical value. Hence, we can be concluded that there is evidence that reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, Yes, the national brand ketchup manufacturer is pleased with the conclusion.

Solve the inequality <br><br> −10 ≤ 2x - 4 &lt; 8
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

- 3 is greater than or equal to x is greater than or equal to 6

Step-by-step explanation:

- 10 \leq 2x - 4 \leq 8\\\\-10 + 4\leq 2x - 4 + 4\leq 8+4\\\\-6 \leq 2x \leq  12\\\\\\frac{-6}{2} \leq \frac{2x}{2} \leq \frac{12}{2}  \\\\-3 \leq x \leq 6

Hope this helps!!!!

Jake is enclosing his vegetable garden with fencing. The table shows the dimensions of his rectangular garden. Garden Dimension
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

$1519.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

The dimension of the garden is

Length 14.23

Width 10.13

The perimeter of the garden is

P=2L+2W

P=2(14.23)+2(10.13)

P=28.46+20.26

P=48.72 yards

The total length is 48.72 yards

let us convert to foot

1 yard is 3 ft

hence

in ft we have= 48.72*3

=146.16 ft

the number of 2.5 ft section in 146.16ft is

= 146.16/2.5

=58.464

therefore the cost of the perimeter fence is

58.464*25.99

=$1519.48
