The soup produced by a company has a salt level that is normally distributed with a mean of 5.4 grams and a standard deviation o

f 0.3 grams. The company takes readings of every 10th bar off the production line. The reading points are 5.8, 5.9, 4.9, 5.2, 5.0, 4.9, 6.2, 5.1, 5.7, 6.1. Is the process in control or out of control and why?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the reading points is

Mean = (5.8 + 5.9 + 4.9 + 5.2 + 5.0 + 4.9 + 6.2 + 5.1 + 5.7 + 6.1)/10 = 5.48

The process is out of control if the mean salt level of the readings is greater than 5.4

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 5.4

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ > 5.4

This is a right tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 5.4

x = 5.48

σ = 0.3

n = 10

z = (5.48 - 5.4)/(0.3/√10) = 0.84

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.7996

The probability value to the right of the z score is 1 - 0.7996 = 0.2

Assuming a significance level of 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.2, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, we can conclude that the process is not out of control. If we had rejected the null hypothesis, then our conclusion would be that the process is out of control.

At a​ little-known vacation​ spot, taxi fares are a bargain. A 18​-mile taxi ride takes 21 minutes and costs ​$12.60. You want t
nordsb [41]

Given :

A 18​-mile taxi ride takes 21 minutes and costs ​$12.60.

To Find :

The cost of a 39​- mile taxi ride. What unit price do you​ need.

Solution :

Unit price per mile :

p=\dfrac{12.60}{18}\\\\p = \$0.7\ /mile

Cost of 39 mile taxi ride :

C = 39\times p\\\\C=39\times 0.7\\\\C=\$27.3

Therefore, unit price is $27.3 and unit price is $0.7 / mile .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Can anyone tell me how you could describe this answer to the equation?

The end behavior of the given polynomial is that as x → -∞ or  x → ∞, then, f(x) → 5

<h3>What is the end behavior of the Polynomial?</h3>

We are given the polynomial;

f(x) = 5x/(x - 25)

Now, we want to find the limits as x → ±∞. Let us rearrange the given polynomial to get; f(x) = 5/(1 - (25/x))

Thus, applying limits we have;'

lim x → ±∞ [5/(1 - (25/x))]

From algebraic limit laws we know that;

If f(x) = k, then;

lim x → +∞ [f(x)] = k

Also, lim x → -∞ [f(x)] = k

Thus, applying limits at infinity to our polynomial gives;

lim x → ±∞ [5/(1 - (25/x))] = 5/(1 - 0) = 5

This is because lim x → ∞ for 1/x is 0.

Thus, f(x) has horizontal asymptotes at y = 5

Thus, we conclude that the end behavior is that as x → -∞ or  x → ∞, then, f(x) → 5

Last year the backgammon club had 30 members. This year the club had 24 members. Find the percent of decrease in the number of m
Gnom [1K]

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Members last year = Old value = 30

Members this year = New year = 24

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 24 - 30

Change = -6

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = \frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100

Decrease percent = \frac{6}{30}*100

Decrease percent = \frac{600}{30}

Decrease percent = 20%

There is 20% decrease in the number of members.

Use this graph of velocity vs. time for two objects to answer the question.
Lynna [10]

Using derivatives, it is found that the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.

The acceleration is the <u>derivative of the velocity</u>, given by change in velocity divided by change in time, that is:

a = \frac{\Delta_v}{\Delta_t}

In this problem:

  • The change in time for objects C and T is the same.
  • The <u>change in velocity for object C is greater</u>, thus, it has a greater acceleration, and the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.
