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

If a roll of vinyl costs 37$ and is a total of 210 sq in how much is each square inch and how to I figure that out?​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

0.176 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a proportion.

37 dollars is to 210 square inches as x dollars is to 1 square inch.

37 $ / 210 in² = x / 1 in²

x ≈ 0.176 $

Is the relationship between the amount of gas and pressure direct or indirect? Explain your answer
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

INDIRECT!

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A law that says that if the temperature is constant then  the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is <u>inversely proportional</u> to its pressure.If the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are getting closer together.

The tables given are for the linear functions f(x) and g(x) what is the input value for which f(x)= g(x) is true? X=
solniwko [45]
It's asking us to find the input value x such that f(x) = g(x). So let's look at the columns f(x) and g(x). We can see that both f(x) and g(x) have the value of 3. The x-value at which f(x) = g(x) = 3 is x = –1.  

Thus the answer is x = –1.
