Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify t

he null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A simple random sample of 25 filtered 100mm cigarettes is obtained, and the tar content of each cigarette is measure. The sample has a mean of 19.4 mg and a standard deviation of 3.52 mg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg, which is the mean for unfiltered king size cigarettes. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the filters? What are the hypotheses? Identify the test statistic. Identify the P-value Identify the critical value(s). State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A. Fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg. B. Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg. C. Fail to reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg. D. Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg. What do the results suggest, if anything, about the effectiveness of the filters? A. The results are inconclusive because the sample size is less than 30. B. The results suggest that the filtered cigarettes have the same tar content as unfiltered king size cigarettes. C. The results do not suggest that the filters are effective. D. The results suggest that the filters are effective. E. The results suggest that the filters increase the tar content.

Answer:

1) Option A: Fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg.  

2)Option D: The results suggest that the filters are effective

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Sample size; n = 25

Sample mean; x' = 19.4 mg

Standard deviation; s = 3.52 mg

Population mean; μ = 21.1 mg

Let's state the hypotheses;

Null Hypothesis;H0: μ = 21.1 mg

Alternative Hypothesis; Ha; μ < 21.1 mg

Now, since sample size is less than 30,we will use a t-test.

Thus;

t = (x' – μ)/[s/√(n)]

t = (19.4 - 21.1)/(3.52/√25)

t = -2.415

Using an online p-value from t-score calculator as attached with the parameters t = -2.415, DF = 25 - 1 = 24, significance level = 0.05, one tailed, we have;

The p-value is 0.011885.

The calculated p-value is less than the significance level of 0.05. Thus, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg.

Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel are among 13 students who entered a lottery to win a free vacation to Paris.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the students are chosen is not important, so the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

4 students from a set of 4(Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel). So

D = C_{4,4} = \frac{4!}{4!(4-4)!} = 1

Total outcomes:

4 students from a set of 13(number of students in the lottery). So

T = C_{13,4} = \frac{13!}{4!(13-4)!} = 715

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{715} = 0.0014

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

Can someone help me ? i have no clue how to figure this out
Ad libitum [116K]

\cos t (\sec t - \cos t) = \sin^2 t

\cos t (\dfrac{1}{\cos t} - \cos t) = \sin^2 t

\dfrac{\cos t}{\cos t} - \cos^2 t = \sin^2 t

1 - \cos^2 t = \sin^2 t

Use the identity: \sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1 and solve for \sin^2 t. You get: \sin^2 t = 1 - \cos^2 t

Do the substitution on the left side to get:

\sin^2 t = \sin ^2 t
