The magic dragon cigarette company claims that their cigarettes contain an average of only 10 mg of tar. a random sample of 100

magic dragon cigarettes shows the average tar content to be 11.5 mg with a known population standard deviation of 4.5 mg. construct a hypothesis test to determine whether the average tar content of magic dragon cigarettes exceeds 10 mg. use a 5% level of significance.

Answer:

t=\frac{11.5-10}{\frac{4.5}{\sqrt{100}}}=3.333    

Critical value

The significance is 5% so then \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025 then the critical value for this case would be z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64. Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 10 mg

P value

The p value would be given

p_v =P(z>3.333)=0.000434  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 10 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=11.5 represent the sample mean

\sigma=4.5 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 sample size  

\mu_o =10 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is higher than 10mg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 10  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 10  

the statistic for this case would be given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing we got:

t=\frac{11.5-10}{\frac{4.5}{\sqrt{100}}}=3.333    

Critical value

The significance is 5% so then \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025 then the critical value for this case would be z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64. Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 10 mg

P value

The p value would be given

p_v =P(z>3.333)=0.000434  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 10 mg

3/4 (x - 3) - 5 = 1/8 ( x - 1 )
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

x = - \frac{57}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{4} (x - 3) - 5 = \frac{1}{8} (x - 1)

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1

6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )

5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - \frac{57}{5}

Mika can eat 21 hot dogs in 6 minutes. She wants to know how many minutes left it would take her to eat 35 hot dogs if she can k
liubo4ka [24]
It would take her 10min to finish 35 hot dogs because 21 divided by 6 equals 3.5 so in six minutes she eats 3.5 hot dogs per minute. Multiply 3.5 by ten you get 35
