Quarters are currently minted with weights normally distributed and having a standard deviation of 0.065. New equipment is being

tested in an attempt to improve quality by reducing variation. A simple random sample of 25 quarters is obtained from those manufactured with the new​ equipment, and this sample has a standard deviation of 0.047 . Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that quarters manufactured with the new equipment have weights with a standard deviation less than 0.065. Does the new equipment appear to be effective in reducing the variation of​ weights?

Answer:

Yes, the new equipment appear to be effective in reducing the variation of​ weights.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Quarters are currently minted with weights normally distributed and having a standard deviation of 0.065.

A simple random sample of 25 quarters is obtained from those manufactured with the new​ equipment, and this sample has a standard deviation of 0.047.

Let \sigma = <u><em>standard deviation of weights of new equipment.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \sigma \geq 0.065      {means that the new equipment have weights with a standard deviation more than or equal to 0.065}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \sigma < 0.065      {means that the new equipment have weights with a standard deviation less than 0.065}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample chi-square</u> test statistics;

                           T.S. =  \frac{(n-1)s^{2} }{\sigma^{2} }  ~ \chi^{2}__n_-_1

where, s = sample standard deviation = 0.047

           n = sample of quarters = 25

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{(25-1)\times 0.047^{2} }{0.065^{2} }  ~  \chi^{2}__2_4   

                                     =  12.55

The value of chi-square test statistics is 12.55.

Now, at 0.05 significance level the chi-square table gives critical value of 13.85 at 24 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of chi-square as 12.55 < 13.85, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the new equipment have weights with a standard deviation less than 0.065.

In this diagram the big square is divided into 7 congruent small squares and two congruent triangles. The area of the shaded squ
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Since each square will have an area of 4 cm^2 because they are congruent, then let’s find the side length of them.

Square root of 4 is two

Each side is 2 cm. Since the unshaded triangle has 3 on the base and height, then it is same to assume that the triangle has a base of 6 cm (2 * 3) and a height of 6 cm.

The formula of the area of a triangle is:
1/2 ( base times height)

Let’s plug in some values

1/2(6 * 6)

Multiply

1/2 (36)

Divide

18

Since the triangles are also congruent, then the shaded side has the same area.

The shaded triangle has an area of 8 cm ^2

you go to the movies with 5 friends. you and one of your friends each buy a bag of popcorn. the rest of your friends buy just on
vfiekz [6]
The x represents the ticket prices and the y represents the popcorn price. If we distribute the expression, we get 4x +2x + 2y. This shows us that all 6 people bought a ticket, and two bought popcorn. Now plug in the given values and solve.

6*7.25 + 2*3.25 = $50
