gregori [183]3 years ago

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours. (P-value = 0).

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete: To test this claim a sample or population standard deviation is needed.</em>

<em>We will estimate that the sample standard deviation is 2 hours, and use a t-test to test that claim.</em>

<em> NOTE (after solving): The difference between the sample mean and the mean of the null hypothesis is big enough to reject the null hypothesis, even when we have a sample standard deviation of 3.5 hours, which can be considered bigger than the maximum standard deviation for the sample.</em>

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=500.

The sample mean is M=3.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{500}}=0.0894

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{3.5-4}{0.0894}=\dfrac{-0.5}{0.0894}=-5.5902

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=500-1=499

This test is a left-tailed test, with 499 degrees of freedom and t=-5.5902, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Filling in the frequency table according to the colors observed and expected on the M & M Peanut candies is as follows:

<h3>Frequency Table:</h3>

Color                              Brown    Yellow     Red      Green     Orange    Total

<h3>Absolute Frequencies</h3>

Observed Frequency     67           22           51           24           24         188

Expected Frequency     56           38           38           38            18         188    

<h3>Relative Frequencies:</h3>

Observed Frequency   36%         12%       27%         13%          13%

Expected Frequency    30%        20%      20%        20%          10%

<h3>What is a frequency table?</h3>

A frequency table is a display of the number of occurrences of a particular value or characteristic.

A frequency table makes it easy to display and interpret a distribution of data.

The absolute frequencies shows the absolute values of the observed and expected frequencies, while the relative frequencies shows the percentage values of the observed and expected frequencies.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Color                              Brown    Yellow     Red      Green     Orange    Total

Observed Frequency     67           22           51           24           24         188

Expected Frequency     30%        20%       20%        20%         10%      100%

You want to join a new pool. Beckett Pool charges a $90 membership fee and $25 per month. Lakota Hills Pool charges a $45 member
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

if m is the number of months

Beckett: 90 + 25m

Lakota Hills 45 + 40m

so 90 + 25m = 45 + 40m

40m - 25 = 90 - 45

15m = 45

m = 45/15 = 3

HELP ASAP<br> Find x to the nearest hundredth.
artcher [175]

Answer:

x = 10.28

Step-by-step explanation:

sin = opp/hyp

sin 40 = x / 16

multiply both sides by 16

16 * sin40 = x

x = 10.284601754984629

Rounded

x = 10.28
