Assume a simple random sample of 10 BMIs with a standard deviation of 1.186 is selected from a normally distributed population o

f recent Miss America winners. Use 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the BMI for recent Miss America winners are from a population with standard deviation of 1.34.
A. Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
B. Find the critical value or values.
C. Find the test statistic.
D. State the conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Answer:

a) H0: \sigma = 1.34

H1: \sigma \neq 1.34

b) df = n-1= 10-1=9

And the critical values with \alpha/2=0.005 on each tail are:

\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589

c) t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05

d) For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n = 10 sample size

s= 1.186 the sample deviation

\sigma_o =1.34 the value that we want to test

p_v represent the p value for the test

t represent the statistic  (chi square test)

\alpha=0.01 significance level

Part a

On this case we want to test if the true deviation is 1,34 or no, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma = 1.34

H1: \sigma \neq 1.34

The statistic is given by:

t=(n-1) [\frac{s}{\sigma_o}]^2

Part b

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

And the critical values with \alpha/2=0.005 on each tail are:

\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589

Part c

Replacing the info we got:

t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05

Part d

For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34

20 men decided to complete a work in 30 days. but after 6 days 8 men left now in how many day the work will be completed​
Serga [27]

First, we convert it into a unit like this

20 workers × 30 days = 600 units work

After leaving the 5 workers, we have 35 days to complete the work.

In 35 days only 15 workers will do the work.

So the work completed in 35 days by 15 workers = 35 ×15 =525 units

Remaining unit = 600 -525 =75 units

This unit would do by 5 workers in (75/5) = 15 days.

So after 15 days, 5 workers should leave the job.
