A manufacturer claims that the mean tensile strength of thread A exceeds the average tensile strength of thread B. To test his c

laim, 16 sample pieces of each type of thread are tested under similar conditions. Type A thread had a sample average tensile strength of 185 kg with a standard deviation of 6 kg, while type B thread had a sample average tensile strength of 178 kg with a standard of 9 kg. Assume that both populations are normally distributed and the variances are equal. Test the manufacturers claim using a = 0.05 level of significance.

The complete part of the first sentence is;

A manufacturer claims that the average tensile strength of thread A exceeds the average tensile strength of thread B by at least 12 kilograms.

Answer:

we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the difference of the average tensile strength of thread A and thread B is less than 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

n_A = 16

n_B = 16

x'_A = 185 kg

x'_B = 178 kg

s_A = 6 kg

s_B = 9 kg

Let μ_A denote the population average tensile strength of thread A

Also, Let μ_B represent the population average tensile strength of thread B

Thus;

Null Hypothesis; H0;μ_A - μ_B ≤ 12

Alternative hypothesis;H1; μ_A - μ_B > 12

From the image attached, with a significance level of 0.05, the critical value for right tailed is 1.645. So we will reject the hypothesis is z > 1.645

Formula for z is;

z = (x'_A - x'_B - d_o)/√((s_A²/n_A) + (s_B²/n_B))

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

z = (185 - 178 - 12)/√((6²/16) + (9²/16))

z = -5/2.7041634566

z = - 1.849

Since the z-value is less than 1.645,we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the difference of the average tensile strength of thread A and thread B is less than 12

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 5 inches shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 5 inches longer than the longer l
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

longer leg: 20 in

shorter leg: 15 in

hypotenuse: 25 in

Formulas:

<u>Pythagorean Theorem</u>

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c ... hypotenuse

a ... one leg

b ... another leg

Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).

Step-by-step explanation:

longer leg: x

shorter leg: x - 5

hypotenuse: x + 5

To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2\\(x+5)^2 = x^2 + (x-5)^2\\x^2 + 10x + 25= x^2 + x^2 -10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x = 2x^2 - 10x\\0 = x^2 - 20x

Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.

0 = x(x-20)

First solution:

x = 0

Second solution:

x - 20 = 0\\x = 20

Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.

Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.

longer leg: x = 20 in

shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in

hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in
