You are a state inspector for the Division of Weights and Measures. Your responsibility is to be sure the net weight found on al

l containers is correctly reflected on the label (note: the label is a claim). You are inspecting ABC Company who makes dry dog food in boxes and bags. The boxes you are checking indicate a net mean weight of 32 ounces. You check a sample of 200 boxes and found the average content to be 31.7 ounces. The standard deviation allowed for this type of product is 2.2 ounces. Can you conclude at a .02 level of significance that the boxes of dog food are being under filled

Answer:

No. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the boxes of dog food are being under filled (P-vaue=0.027).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the boxes of dog food are being under filled.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=32\\\\H_a:\mu< 32

The significance level is 0.02.

The sample has a size n=200.

The sample mean is M=31.7.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=2.2.

We can calculate the standard error as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2.2}{\sqrt{200}}=0.156

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{31.7-32}{0.156}=\dfrac{-0.3}{0.156}=-1.928

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.027) is bigger than the significance level (0.02), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the boxes of dog food are being under filled.

How to slove with systems of equations
juin [17]

Answer:

$3 for Syd and $5 for Mark

Step-by-step explanation:

when Mark worked 8 hours and Syd worked 10 hours they earned $80

when Mark worked 9h Syd worked 5h they earned $65

we can make a equation out of these information

8M + 10S = $80

9M + 5S = $65 we can use the systems of equations by eliminating method

multiply second equation by -2

-2 × (9M + 5S) = $65

-18M - 10S = -$130 now add up the new equation with the first one

8M + 10S - 18M - 10S = $80 - $130 (10S will eliminate -10S)

-10M = -$50

10M = $50

M = $5

we can use hourly rate we found for M (Mark) to find the hourly rate for S (Syd)

9×5 + 5S = $65

45 + 5S = $65

5S = $15

S = $3
