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!!!

How can we calculate the speed of the output gear in a simple gear train? Explain with the help of an example.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

N_3=\dfrac{T_1}{T_3}N_1

Explanation:

In the diagram there three gears in which gear 1 is input gear ,gear 2 is idle gear and gear 3 is out put gear.

Lets take

Speed\ of\ gear 1=N_1

Number\ of\ teeth\ of\ gear 1=T_1

Speed\ of\ gear 3=N_3

Number\ of\ teeth\ of\ gear 3=T_3

All external matting gears will rotates in opposite direction with respect to each other.

So the speed of gear third can be given as follows

\dfrac{T_1}{T_3}=\dfrac{N_3}{N_1}

N_3=\dfrac{T_1}{T_3}N_1

Which option should the engineers focus on as they develop the train in the following scenario?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

  Engineers can design a train with a regenerative braking system

Explanation:

Assuming the point of the question is that the engineers want to focus on using energy efficiently when starting and stopping, they would likely want to consider a regenerative braking system. Such a system can store energy during braking so that it can be used during starting, reducing the amount of energy that must be supplied by an outside power source.

It is said that Archimedes discovered his principle during a bath while thinking about how he could determine if King Hiero’s cr
arlik [135]

Answer: The crown is not made of pure gold.

Explanation:

Archimedes discovered that any solid, of any shape, when submerged in a liquid receives an upward force, equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid removed by the solid, which is equal to the solid volume.

So, if any body is weighed in air, the normal force will be equal to the gravity force (which we call weight) which can be expressed as follows:

Fg = m g = δ V g = 34.7 N

When submerged in water, the normal force is equal to the difference between the actual weight, and the upward force due to Archimedes' principle, called buoyant force, as follows:

Fn = Fg - Ep = δx. V. g - δH20 . V. g = 31.5 N

Dividing Fg between Fn, and simplifying common terms, we have:

δx / (δx - δh20) = 34.7 / 31.5 = 1.10

Solving for δx, we get the following value:

δx = 11,000 Kg/m3, less dense than pure gold, so we can conclude that the crown was not made of pure gold.

Why can you anodise Aluminium and Magnesium alloys?
Anastasy [175]

Explanation:

Anodizing :

 Anodizing is the surface protection process from the environment.As we know that due to external environment surfaces get corrodes .By using anodizing process the outer surface  of material coated by using different type of coating material.

As the name stand that in the anodizing process there will be anode and oxygen.in this process oxidation of material take place .

Oxides of aluminium and magnesium are stable that is why they anodized by this process.
