Answer:

- The calculated p-value (0.392452) is higher than the significance level at which the test was performed, hence, the null hypothesis is true and μ = 60

- 95% Confidence interval for the population mean score = (47.4, 84.1)

Explanation:

The sample of 4 students had scores of 52, 63, 64, 84.

First of, we need to compute the sample mean, we do not need the sample standard deviation as the population variance is given as 5

Mean = (Σx)/N

x = each variable

N = number of variables = 4

Mean = (52 + 63 + 64 + 84)/4

Mean = 65.75

Sample Standard deviation = σ

= √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

xbar = mean = 65.75

Σ(x - xbar)² = 532.75

σ = √[532.75/4] = 11.54

in hypothesis testing, the first thing is usually to state the null and alternative hypothesis.

From the question, the null hypothesis has already been stated as

H₀: μ = 60

The alternative hypothesis would then be that the population mean score isn't equal to 60

Hₐ: μ ≠ 60

Since the population distribution is normal and the sample standard deviation is to be used, we use the t-test statistic

t = (x - μ₀)/σₓ

x = sample mean = 65.75

μ₀ = Standard to be compared against = 60

σₓ = standard error = (σ/√n) = (11.54/√4) = 5.77

t = (65.75 - 60)/5.77 = 0.9965 = 1.00

checking the tables for the p-value of this t-statistic

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

Significance level = 0.05 (95% confidence level)

The hypothesis test uses a two-tailed condition because we're testing in two directions.

p-value (for t = 1.00, at 0.05 significance level, df = 3, with a two tailed condition) = 0.392452

The interpretation of p-values is that

When the (p-value > significance level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and when the (p-value < significance level), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

So, for this question, significance level = 0.05

p-value = 0.392452

0.392452 > 0.05

Hence,

p-value > significance level

This means that we fail to reject the null hypothesis & say that there is enough evidence to conclude that the populatiom mean score is equal to 60.

b) Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample Mean = 65.75

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution.

To find the critical value from the t-tables, we first find the degree of freedom and the significance level.

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

Significance level for 95% confidence interval

(100% - 95%)/2 = 2.5% = 0.025

t (0.025, 3) = 3.18 (from the t-tables)

Standard error of the mean = 5.77

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 65.75 ± (3.18 × 5.77)

CI = 65.75 ± 18.3486

95% CI = (47.4014, 84.0986)

95% Confidence interval = (47.4, 84.1)

Hope this Helps!!!

Describe ICP/OES in detail.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

ICP -OES stand for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy

Explanation:

It is techniques that known as trace level technique which help to identify and quantify the element present in sample by using spectra emission.

The analysis process include desolvates, ionization and excitation of the sample. The sample is identify by analyzing the emission line from it and quantify by analyzing the intensity of same emission lines.

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

P_m_i_n = 442KPA

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

T_H = 1.2T_L

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}

= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

Q_l = COP_R Wm

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

Q_H = Q_L + W_m

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= = \frac{132}{1.06}

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2};

T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at T_L = 12.4°c we have 442KPa

Consider a cubic workpiece of rigid perfect plastic material with side length lo. The cube is deformed plastically to the shape
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:  ε₁+ε₂+ε₃ = 0

Explanation: Considering the initial and final volume to be constant which gives rise to the relation:-

                         l₀l₀l₀=l₁l₂l₃

                        \frac{lo*lo*lo}{l1*l2*l3}=1.0

                      taking natural log on both sides

                              ln(\frac{(lo*lo*lo)}{l1*l2*l3})=ln(1)

Considering the logarithmic Laws of division and multiplication :

                                ln(AB) = ln(A)+ln(B)

                                ln(A/B) = ln(A)-ln(B)

                           ln(\frac{(l1)}{lo})*ln(\frac{(l2)}{lo})*ln(\frac{(l3)}{lo}) = 0

Use the image attached to see the definition of true strain defined as

                         ln(l1/1o)= ε₁

which then proves that ε₁+ε₂+ε₃ = 0
