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.

Can someone ask me about this, which is algebra, please
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is not shown in your picture. You must get a = 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)a + (2/3)b = 50

b = 30

(1/2)a + (2/3)(30) = 50

(1/2)a + 20 = 50

(1/2)a + 20 - 20 = 50 - 20

(1/2)a = 30

2 * (1/2)a = 2 * 30

a = 60

The correct answer is not shown in your picture. You must get a = 60.

A company has two separate offices. One office has a color printer and the other office has a black and white
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the larger of two printers being used to print the payroll for a major corporation requres 40 min. to print the payroll.So the smaller printer's payroll printing rate is  

1 payroll per x min or  or  

>>...After both printers have been operating for 10 min, the larger printer malfunctions...<<

So the fraction of the payroll that the larger printer did in the 10 minutes

is  = payroll.

Determine which of the following function have a positive rate of change. Explain your answer.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

  y = 2x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The "rate of change" is the coefficient of x when the function is written in this form:

  y = mx + b

That coefficient will be positive when the function has a positive rate of change.

  y = 2x - 11 . . . has a positive rate of change
