A county is considering rasing the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30 m

iles per hour. a random sample of 15 vehicles has a mean speed of 31 miles per hour and a standard deviation of 4.7 miles per hour. at alpha equals 0.10​, do you have enough evidence to support the​ county's claim? complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.

Answer:

No, at alpha equals 0.10​, we do not have enough evidence to support the​ county's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a county is considering raising the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30 miles per hour.

A random sample of 15 vehicles has a mean speed of 31 miles per hour and a standard deviation of 4.7 miles per hour.

<em><u>Let </u></em>\mu<em><u> = true mean speed of the vehicles.</u></em>

SO, <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : \mu \leq  30 miles per hour   {means that the mean speed of vehicles is lesser than or equal to 30 miles per hour}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis,</u> H_A : \mu > 30 miles per hour   {means that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30 miles per hour}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                        T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean speed of 15 vehicles = 31 mph

             s = sample standard deviation = 4.7 mph

             n = sample of vehicles = 15

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =   \frac{31-30}{\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{15} } }  ~ t_1_4

                               =  0.824

<u><em>Hence, the value of test statistics is 0.824.</em></u>

<em />

<em>Now at 0.10 significance level, the t table gives critical value of 1.345 at 14 degree of freedom for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of t as 0.824 < 1.345, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.</em>

<em />

Therefore, we conclude that the mean speed of vehicles is lesser than or equal to 30 miles per hour which means that the county's claim is not supported.

The given inequality is:

|-8x+24| \leq 16

This inequality can be divided in two parts as:

a) -16 \leq -8x +24
b) -8x + 24 \leq 16

Solving part a:

-16 \leq -8x+24 \\  \\ &#10;-40 \leq -8x \\  \\ &#10;5 \geq x \\ &#10;or \\ &#10;x \leq 5

Solving part b:

-8x+24 \leq 16 \\  \\ &#10;-8x \leq -8 \\  \\ &#10;x \geq 1

Therefore, the solution to the given inequality is x \leq 5 and x \geq 1. Combining both the ranges we get the solution: 1 \leq x \leq 5.

In interval notation, this solution can be expressed as [1,5]

A customer ordered a product online for $299 and was charged an additional $10 for shipping and handling. The customer received
swat32

Answer:

$192.4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we'll work out what the customer had to pay before tax.

That's

299+10-99-25\\=185(USD)

4% of 185 is 7.4,

So the customer paid

185+7.4\\=192.4(USD)

Is this a question on your test or something? I know trying out every number and letter would be difficult. There is a way to solve these types of problems. Ask your math teacher, or someone that knows this or has taught this.
