A manufacturer of detergent claims that the contents of boxes sold weigh on average at least 20 ounces. The distribution of weig

ht is known to be​ normal, with a standard deviation of 0.4 ounces. A random sample of 25 boxes yielded a sample mean weight of 19.87 ounces. Test at the 1​% significance level the null hypothesis that the population mean weight is at least 20 ounces.

Answer:

z=\frac{19.87-20}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{25}}}=-1.625    

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(z  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly less than 20 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

\bar X=19.87 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.4 represent the population deviation

n=25 sample size  

\mu_o =68 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is at least 20 ounces, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 20  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 20  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{19.87-20}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{25}}}=-1.625    

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(z  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly less than 20 ounces.

Find the center and radius for the circle, given the equation: x^2-14x+y^2+8=16
Strike441 [17]
You can do this by completing the square

x^2 - 14x + y^2 + 8  = 16

(x - 7)^2 - 49 + (y + 4)^2 - 16  = 16

(x - 7)^2 + (y + 4)^2 =   16 + 16 + 49  =  81


so the center is at (7 , -4) and radius = sqrt81 = 9

In the figure, two poles are 25 m and 35 m high. A cable 23 m long Joins the tops of the poles. Find the distance between the po
sukhopar [10]

Answer: 20.71 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the length of the poles are 25m and 35 m

The length of the cable is 23 m

Suppose the distance between them is x

From the figure, apply Pythagoras theorem

\Rightarrow 23^=x^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow 529-100=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=429\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{429}=20.71\ m

Distance between Poles is 20.71 m

PLEASE HELP I WILL DO ANYTHING

The proportionality constant of the given graph is k = 16.

<h3>How to find the proportionality constant of a graph?</h3>

The proportionality constant of a graph is the ratio of the y-coordinates to the x-coordinates.

Thus, it is written as k = y1/x1 = x2/y2 = ... = yn/xn

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given graph has the coordinates as

x = 0; y = 0 i.e., (0, 0)

x = 0.5; y = 8 i.e., (0.5, 8)

x = 1; y = 16 i.e., (1, 16)

x = 1.5; y = 24 i.e., (1.5, 24)

and so on.

Then, the ratio of y - coordinate to the x - coordinate is

k = 8/0.5 = 16

or

k = 16/1 = 16

or

k = 24/1.5 = 16

and so on.

So, the proportionality constant for the given graph is k = 16.
