The city manager of Shinbone has received a complaint from the local union of firefighters to the effect that they are underpaid

. Not having much time, the city manager gathers the records of a random sample of 27 firefighters and finds that their average salary is $38,073 with a standard deviation of $575. If she knows that the average salary nationally is $38,202, how can she respond to the complaint

Answer:

She can answer, after performing the hypothesis test, that there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the city firefighters salary is significantly lower than the national average.

Step-by-step explanation:

She can statistically test the claim of the firefighters to see if it has statistical evidence.

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the city firefighters salary is significantly lower than the national average.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=38202\\\\H_a:\mu< 38202

The significance level is 0.1.  Is less conservative than 0.05, for example, so if there is little evidence, the null hypothesis with be rejected.

The sample has a size n=27.

The sample mean is M=38073.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=575.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{575}{\sqrt{27}}=110.659

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{38073-38202}{110.659}=\dfrac{-129}{110.659}=-1.17

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=27-1=26

This test is a left-tailed test, with 26 degrees of freedom and t=-1.17, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=P(t

As the P-value (0.127) is bigger than the significance level (0.1), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the city firefighters salary is significantly lower than the national average.

Without doing any computation, decide which has a higher probability, assuming each sample is from a population that is normally
Nana76 [90]
Answer: The probability in (b) has higher probability than the probability in (a).

Explanation:

Since we're computing for the probability of the sample mean, we consider the z-score and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. Recall that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution approximately the quotient of the population standard deviation and the square root of the sample size.

So, if the sample size higher, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is lower. Since the sample size in (b) is higher, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution in (b) is lower. 

Moreover, since the mean of the sampling distribution is the same as the population mean, the lower the standard deviation, the wider the range of z-scores. Because the standard deviation in (b) is lower, it has a wider range of z-scores.

Note that in a normal distribution, if the probability has wider range of z-scores, it has a higher probability. Therefore, the probability in (b) has higher probability than the probability in (a) because it has wider range of z-scores than the probability in (a).

Complete the pairs of corresponding parts if △RST ≅ △TXY.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

∠STR = ∠XYT


Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are give congruent.△RST ≅ △TXY.

In congruent triangles corresponding angles are equal.The order of the letters in the congruent statement matters.

In the given statement the angles matching to ∠STR is ∠XYT.

Hence ,the equal angles in the congruent triangles are ∠STR = ∠XYT.
