Ground beef is packaged in small trays, intended to hold 1 pound of meat. A random sample of 45 packages in the small tray produ

ced weight measurements with an average of 1.04 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.19 pound.a. If you were the quality control manager and wanted to make sure that the average amount of ground beef was indeed 1 pound, what hypotheses would you test?b. Find the p-value for the test and use it to perform the test in part a.c. How would you, as the quality control manager, report the results of your study to a consumer interest group?

Answer:

There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the average weight of the ground beef packaged in small trays is 1 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to perform a t-test

Mean = Sample mean = 1.04 lb

μ = Population mean = 1 lb

s = Standard deviation of 0.19

n = Sample size = 45

Null hypothesis H₀ = 1

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ > 1

Therefore from

t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}} we have

t = 1.412

Critical t at 5% confidence level  = 1.68

at 5 % confidence level we obtain the probability P is;

P = 0.0825 > 0.05 Therefore we accept our null hypothesis that the average weight of ground beef per pack is 1 pound.

Which of the following is parallel to the line 2x+4y=16
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Option C: y=-1/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the options:

A) y=2x+5

B) y=-1/2x+4

C)y=-1/2x+8

D)y=-2x+5

But first let's define what parallel even is. When two lines are parallel it means that there slope is the same value and the same sign, while there y-intercepts are different, because if they were the same, then they wouldn't be parallel, they would just be the same exact line.

So we're given the equation in standard form. To find the slope we can change it so it's in the form of y=mx+b. This can be done by simply isolating y. The reason we want it in the slope-intercept form is because m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. m is the slope because as x increases by 1 the y-value will increase by m. So the "rise" will be m and the "run" will be 1, thus the slope will be m/1 or in other words m because the slope is defined as rise/run. So let's start the steps to isolating y

Original equation

2x+4y=16

Subtract 2x from both sides

4y=-2x+16

Divide both sides by 4

y = -1/2x + 4

Here we have it in slope-intercept form. In this case the slope, or m, is -1/2 and the y-intercept or b is 4. So now let's look at the other equations.

Option A: This equation has a slope of 2, which is not the same as -1/2 so it is not parallel

Option B: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. But look at the y-intercept it's 4, that's the same y-intercept as the original equation. This means the two equations are equal and not parallel

Option C: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. It has a y-intercept of 8 which is not the same as 4, so the two lines are parallel and not equal! This is the answer

Are the graphs of each pair of equations parallel, perpendicular, or neither? x=4 y=4
Vlad1618 [11]

Both graphs x =4 and y =4 will be perpendicular to each other.

  • The graph of x = 4 is a vertical line down the Graph scope
  • The graph of y =4 is a horizontal line side the Graph scope.

Both the Lines will meet exactly at ( 4, 4 ) perpendicularly at each other both of them intersecting at 90 degrees.

Vertical and Horizontal lines are perpendicular to each other (90 Degrees).

The safety inspector in a large city wants to estimate the proportion of buildings in the city that are in violation of fire cod
storchak [24]

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample will be a representative of the entire build us in the city.

For a sample size 35, 3 have fire code violations, hence, the proportion of houses with fire code violations = (3/35) = 0.0857 = 8.57 %

The uncertainty in the estimate is given in the form of standard error.

Standard error = √[(p(1-p)/n]

n = sample size = 35, p = 0.0857, 1 - p = 0.9143

Standard error of the sample = √(0.0857×0.9143/35) = 0.1616

In terms of the population, (0.1616/35) = 0.00462

Proportion of buildings with fire code violations = (8.57 ± 0.462) %
