Granola Crunch cereal is packaged in 1 pound boxes. Susan Torres, a quality control analyst who works for the manufacturer of th

e cereal, wants to check if the packaging process is working improperly: boxes are being over-filled or under-filled. A sample of 40 cereal boxes of Granola Crunch yields a mean weight of 1.02 pounds of cereal per box. Assume that the weight is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 0.04 pound. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level.

Answer:

z=\frac{1.02-1}{\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{40}}}=3.162    

p_v =2*P(z>3.162)=0.0016    

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is different from 1 pound at 5% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

\bar X=1.02 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.04 represent the population standard deviation    

n=40 sample size    

\mu_o =1 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)    

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is equal to 1 pound or no :    

Null hypothesis:\mu =1    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 1    

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

z=\frac{1.02-1}{\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{40}}}=3.162    

P-value    

Since is a two-sided test the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(z>3.162)=0.0016    

Conclusion    

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is different from 1 pound at 5% of signficance.

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x - 10?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

h(x) = x/2 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 10

Step 1. Replace f(x) with y.

y = 2x - 10

Step 2. Switch variables x and y.

x = 2y - 10

Step 3. Solve for y.

2y - 10 = x

2y = x + 10

y = x/2 + 5

Step 4. Replace y with h(x)

h(x) = x/2 + 5

Find a rational number halfway in between the two numbers. 7/9 and 3/4<br><br>​
AlekseyPX

Answer: 55/126

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, the easiest way to solve is to change the denominators, or bottom halves, of both fractions to be the same thing. The easiest way to do this is to multiply themselves with a “funny form” of one. A funny form of one is just a way of representing “1” with numbers that aren’t 1. “2/2” is a funny form of one. log(x)/log(x) is a funny form of one, etc..

(3/7)x(9/9)=27/63

(4/9)x(7/7)=28/63

These fractions are very close. If you are willing to settle for an unsimplified fraction, the answer here would be 27.5/63. If you aren’t willing to settle for the unsimplified form, we can multiply both fractions by a funny form of one again, most easily 2/2, and find the median of the two fractions.

(27/63)x(2/2)=54/126

(28/63)x(2/2)=56/126

The median of these two fractions is 55/126.

55/126 is exactly halfway between 3/7 and 4/9.
