A facilities manager at a university reads in a research report that the mean amount of time spent in the shower by an adult is

5 minutes. He decides to collect data to see if the mean amount of time that college students spend in the shower is significantly different from 5 minutes. In a sample of 15 students, he found the average time was 4.29 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.75 minutes. Using this sample information, conduct the appropriate hypothesis test at the 0.01 level of significance. Assume normality.a) What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?H0: ? = 5 versus Ha: ? ? 5H0: x = 5 versus Ha: x ? 5 H0: ? = 5 versus Ha: ? < 5H0: ? = 5 versus Ha: ? > 5b) What is the test statistic? Give your answer to four decimal places. c) What is the P-value for the test? Give your answer to four decimal places. d) What is the appropriate conclusion?

Answer:

(a) <em>H₀</em>: <em>μ</em> = 5 vs. <em>Hₐ</em>: <em>μ</em> ≠ 5.

(b) The test statistic value is -3.67.

(c) The <em>p</em>-value of the test is 0.0025.

(d) The mean amount of time spent in the shower by an adult is different from 5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to test whether the mean amount of time that college students spend in the shower is significantly different from 5 minutes.

The information provided is:

n=15\\\bar x=4.29\\s=0.75\\\alpha =0.01

(a)

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: The mean amount of time spent in the shower by an adult is 5 minutes, i.e. <em>μ</em> = 5.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The mean amount of time spent in the shower by an adult is different from 5 minutes, i.e. <em>μ</em> ≠ 5.

(b)

As the population standard deviation is not known we will use a <em>t</em>-test for single mean.

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\frac{4.29-5}{0.75/\sqrt{15}}\\\\=-3.67

Thus, the test statistic value is -3.67.

(c)

Compute the <em>p</em>-value of the test as follows:

p-value=2\times P(t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}

*Use a <em>t</em>-table.

Thus, the <em>p</em>-value of the test is 0.0025.

(d)

Decision rule:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

<em>p</em>-value = 0.0025 < <em>α</em> = 0.01

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 1% level of significance.

Thus, concluding that the mean amount of time spent in the shower by an adult is different from 5 minutes.

You are creating a decorative rope that is at least 20 feet long. You do not have enough 6 inch beads to make the rope, so you w
Inessa05 [86]

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of rope = 120 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

20 foot = 20*12 = 240 inches

Length of bead = 10 inches

Let,

x represents the number of beads used on rope.

As the rope is 240 inches long, therefore, the total length of beads cannot exceed 240 inches.

Length of each bead*Number of beads ≤ length of rope

10*x\leq 240\\10x\leq 240

Dividing both sides by 10

\frac{10x}{10}\leq \frac{240}{10}\\x\leq 24

You can use at most 24 beads that are 10 inches long to decorate the rope.

Dudley is biking. He wants to cover 40 miles. If he travels 30 miles every 2 ours, what is the equation of a line that models y,
fgiga [73]

Answer:

y=40-15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours.

We have been given that Dudley travels 30 miles every 2 hours, so distance covered in each hour by Dudley would be:

.

Since Dudley travels 15 km per hour, so distance covered in x hours would be 15x.

We have been given that Dudley wants to cover 40 miles. So we can represent our given information in an equation as:

, where, y represents number of miles he has left to travel, after biking x hours.

Find the perimeter
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

  5 + 8 + 11 + 10 = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the horizontal and vertical sides are easily determined. The slant side is seen to be the hypotenuse of a 3-4-5 triangle (times 2), so is 10 units long. The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  5 + 8 + 11 + 10 = 34

_____

You can always estimate the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle as being between 1 and 1.5 times the length of the <em>longest</em> side. Here, the longest side of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is of interest is 8 units, so the hypotenuse will be between 8 and 12 units long. That means the perimeter of the blue trapezoid will be between 32 and 36, a guess of sufficient accuracy to allow you to choose the correct answer.

In a figure like this, you can also measure the hypotenuse on the grid. Using a compass, ruler, or a piece of paper with a couple of marks, you can rotate the slant length so that it corresponds to a vertical or horizontal grid line. Then the length of it is easily estimated to good accuracy. (See the second attachment.) As we said in the previous paragraph, even poor accuracy is sufficient to choose the correct answer.
