A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 419 gram setting. It is

believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 19 bag sample had a mean of 412 grams with a variance of 784. A level of significance of 0.025 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Answer:

The calculated t- value = 1.09 > 3.19 at 0.025 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-

Given the mean of the Population(μ)  = 419 grams

The sample size 'n' =19

Given mean of the sample x⁻ = 412

Given variance of the sample S² = 784

                                                 S = √784 = 28

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

<u><em>Null hypothesis: H₀</em></u>: There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled.

<u><em>Alternative hypothesis: H₁:</em></u>

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled.

Test statistic

                     t = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

                    t = \frac{412 -419}{\frac{28}{\sqrt{19} } }

                   t = -1.09

                 |t| = |-1.09|

<em>Degrees of freedom   ν = n-1 = 19-1 =18</em>

<em>t₀.₀₂₅ =  3.19</em>

<u><em>Final answer:</em></u><em>-</em>

The calculated t- value = 1.09 > 3.19 at 0.025 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

The manager of a music store has kept records of
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

(a) P(x\le 3) = 0.75

(b) P(x\le 3) = 0.75

<em>(b) is the same as (a)</em>

(c) P(x \ge 5) = 0.10

(d) P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.55

(e) P(x > 2) = 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} & {0.15} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}

Solving (a): Probability of 3 or fewer CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{cccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x\le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

This gives:

P(x\le 3) = 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.20

P(x\le 3) = 0.75

Solving (b): Probability of at most 3 CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{cccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} & {3} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} & {0.20} \ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x\le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

This gives:

P(x\le 3) = 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.20

P(x\le 3) = 0.75

<em>(b) is the same as (a)</em>

<em />

Solving (c): Probability of 5 or more CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{ccc}{CDs} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x \ge 5) = P(5) + P(6\ or\ more)

This gives:

P(x\ge 5) = 0.05 + 0.05

P(x \ge 5) = 0.10

Solving (d): Probability of 1 or 2 CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{ccc}{CDs} & {1} & {2} \ \\ {Prob} & {0.30} & {0.25} \ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = P(1) + P(2)

This gives:

P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.30 + 0.25

P(x = 1\ or\ 2) = 0.55

Solving (e): Probability of more than 2 CDs

Here, we consider:

\begin{array}{ccccc}{CDs} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6\ or\ more}\ \\ {Prob} & {0.20} & {0.15} & {0.05} & {0.05}\ \ \end{array}

This probability is calculated as:

P(x > 2) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6\ or\ more)

This gives:

P(x > 2) = 0.20+ 0.15 + 0.05 + 0.05

P(x > 2) = 0.45

In the system of equations, which variable would it be easiest to solve for?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The easiest way of solving this is to eliminate one of the variables.  If you multiply each of the equations by a number so you can add the equations together and have only one variable left, you can solve the single variable equation.  Try multiplying the first equation by 11, the second by -10 and adding them, thus eliminating the y  variable.  After this, substitute that value you have for x and solve for y.  I hope this helps.
