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

F(x)= 3x - 4x2 +6x and g(x)= 5x +2x2 – 3x. What is f(x) g(x)?
goldenfox [79]

f(x)g(x) = 9x² + 10x - 16

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given f(x) = 3x - 4 × 2 + 6x and g(x) = 5x + 2 × 2 - 3x

f(x) = 9x - 8

g(x) = 2x + 4

f(x)g(x) = (9x - 8)(2x + 4)

= 18x² + 36x - 16x -32

= 18x² + 20x - 32

= 9x² + 10x - 16
