In a study of the relationship of the shape of a tablet to its dissolution time, 6 disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and 8 oval-shap

ed ibuprofen tablets were dissolved in water. The dissolve times, in seconds, were as follows:
Disk: 269.0, 249.3, 255.2, 252.7, 247.0, 261.6
Oval: 268.8, 260.0, 273.5, 253.9, 278.5, 289.4, 261.6, 280.2 Can you conclude that the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes? Conduct a hypothesis test at the
α = 5% level.
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Compute the test statistic.
c. Compute the P-value.
d. State the conclusion of the test in the context of this setting.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. Let μ1 be the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and μ2 be the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.

We would set up the hypothesis.

a) The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

This is a two tailed test.

For disk shaped,

Mean, x1 = (269.0 + 249.3 + 255.2 + 252.7 + 247.0 + 261.6)/6 = 255.8

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n1 = 6

Summation(x - mean)² = (269 - 255.8)^2 + (249.3 - 255.8)^2 + (255.2 - 255.8)^2+ (252.7 - 255.8)^2 + (247 - 255.8)^2 + (261.6 - 255.8)^2 = 337.54

Standard deviation, s1 = √(337.54/6) = 7.5

For oval shaped,

Mean, x2 = (268.8 + 260 + 273.5 + 253.9 + 278.5 + 289.4 + 261.6 + 280.2)/8 = 270.7375

n2 = 8

Summation(x - mean)² = (268.8 - 270.7375)^2 + (260 - 270.7375)^2 + (273.5 - 270.7375)^2+ (253.9 - 270.7375)^2 + (278.5 - 270.7375)^2 + (289.4 - 270.7375)^2 + (261.6 - 270.7375)^2 + (280.2 - 270.7375)^2 = 991.75875

Standard deviation, s2 = √(991.75875/8) = 11.1

b) Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Therefore,

t = (255.8 - 270.7375)/√(7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8)

t = - 3

c) The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8]²/[(1/6 - 1)(7.5²/6)² + (1/8 - 1)(11.1²/8)²] = 613.86/51.46

df = 12

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.011

d) Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.011, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that at 5% significance level, the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes

astra-53 [7]
<span>Think about the cones with only 1 scoop of ice cream. Isn't it clear that there are 28 of those?
Now think about the two scoop cones. You have 28 choices for the first scoop and 28 choices for the second scoop.
So the number of possibilities is 28(28).
Now think of the 3 scoop cones.
You have 28 choices for the first scoop, 28 choices for the second scoop, and 28 choices for the third scoop or 28(28)(28) possibilities.
Add them all together and you have the total.

So it will be like this:

Margarita [4]

Answer:

35% or 0.35

Step-by-step explanation

If 20 grams is 100%, that means each gram is 5% of the whole. So 7 time 5 is 35.

6(2x-1) over 5. I need help so help me pleeease
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

(12x - 6)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x-1)/5 => (12x - 6)/5 because of the distributive property.

You cannot simplify farther after you reach (12x - 6)/5.

Suppose we want to choose a value of x within 3 units of 11. [This means a value of x that is less than 3 units away from 11.] T
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

(a) [8, 14]

(b)  8 \leq x \leq 14

(c)See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to choose a value of x within 3 units of 11.

(a)Now, 11-3=8 and 11+3=14

The possible values of x ranges is in the closed interval [8,14]

(b) Since x is within 3 units of 11., we have:

|11-x|\leq3

Solving the absolute inequality

-3 \leq 11-x \leq 3\\$In $ -3 \leq 11-x\\ x \leq 11+3\\x \leq 14\\\\$In $ 11-x \leq 3\\ 11-3 \leq x\\8 \leq x\\$Therefore,an inequality that represents all values of x that meet this constraint is:$\\8 \leq x \leq 14

(c)To draw the number line, we use a closed dot since we have the less than or equal to sign.
