In tests of a computer component, it is found that the mean time between failures is 937 hours. A modification is made which is

supposed to increase reliability by increasing the time between failures. Tests on a sample of 36 modified components produce a mean time between failures of 960 hours, with a standard deviation of 52 hours. Using a significance level of .01, test the claim that, for modified components, the mean time between failures is greater than 937 hours. Find the appropriate p-value.

Answer:

Null hypothesis is \mathbf {H_o: \mu > 937}

Alternative hypothesis is \mathbf {H_a: \mu < 937}

Test Statistics z = 2.65

CONCLUSION:

Since test statistics is greater than  critical value; we reject the null hypothesis. Thus, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the modified components have a longer mean time between failures.

P- value = 0.004025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean \overline x = 960 hours

Sample size n = 36

Mean population \mu = 937

Standard deviation \sigma = 52

Given that the mean  time between failures is 937 hours. The objective is to determine if the mean time between failures is greater than 937 hours

Null hypothesis is \mathbf {H_o: \mu > 937}

Alternative hypothesis is \mathbf {H_a: \mu < 937}

Degree of freedom = n-1

Degree of freedom = 36-1

Degree of freedom = 35

The level of significance ∝ = 0.01

SInce the degree of freedom is 35 and the level of significance ∝ = 0.01;

from t-table t(0.99,35), the critical value = 2.438

The test statistics is :

Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Z = \dfrac{960-937 }{\dfrac{52}{\sqrt{36}}}

Z = \dfrac{23}{8.66}

Z = 2.65

The decision rule is to reject null hypothesis   if  test statistics is greater than  critical value.

CONCLUSION:

Since test statistics is greater than  critical value; we reject the null hypothesis. Thus, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the modified components have a longer mean time between failures.

The P-value can be calculated as follows:

find P(z < - 2.65) from normal distribution tables

= 1 - P (z ≤ 2.65)

= 1 - 0.995975     (using the Excel Function: =NORMDIST(z))

= 0.004025

1. The sum of first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is 3n²+4n
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

<h3>           a.  a₁=7,     b.  a_n=7n+1,    c.  a₂₀=141</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

 a_1=S_1=3\cdot1^2+4\cdot1=3+4=7

b.

   a_1+a_2=S_2\\\\a_1+a_1+d=3\cdot2^2+4\cdot2\\\\7+7+d=3\cdot4+8\\\\14+d=12+8\\\\d=6\\\\\\a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+6(n-1)\\\\a_n=7+6n-6\\\\\underline{a_n=7n+1}

c.

 a_{20}=7\cdot20+1=141

3x-4y=11 <br>3x+2y=2<br>please help, I need to find what the answer is for x and y​
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

I have attached a picture of me solving the equation.

Now you must be wondering how I got the answer, well first simplify the expression in y = mx + b. Then graph it on demos. Do the same thing for the other expression. Pick any point that lies on the line. That is your solution to the equation.

The green line is the expression of 3x - 4y = 11. I simplify the equation in y = mx + b giving me y = 3/4x - 11/4.

The orange line is the expression of 3x + 2y = 2. I simplify the equation in y = mx + b giving me y = -3/2x + 1.

Hope this helps, thank you !!
