Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

Answer:

(a) 0.8 ounces (most precision)

(b) 8 ounces (best precision for likely weight of an orange)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most precision is obtained by using the smallest unit of measure. On this list, the smallest unit of measure is a tenth of an ounce. That is, the measure 0.8 ounces has the most precision.

It is unlikely that the weight of one orange will be 0.8 ounces. The smallest unit used in a measurement likely to correspond to the weight of an orange is 1 ounce, used in the measurement 8 ounces. That measurement has better precision than 0.8 pounds, because 0.1 pounds corresponds to 1.6 ounces.

8_murik_8 [283]

Volume of pyramid:

$V= \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot A \cdot H$

A - base area
H - height

First count volume of one pyramid:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 4=4 [\hbox{inch}^3]$

So by using 576 inch^3 you can make 576 : 4 = 144 pyramids

Suppose we are interested in analyzing the weights of NFL players. We know that on average, NFL players weigh 247 pounds with a

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58$

$ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073$

$\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927$

$\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073$

$n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238$

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 247$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu$

$z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165$

$p_v =P(z$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

$\bar X =237$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma = 47$ represent the population deviation

$n =30$ represent the sample size selected

$\mu_0 = 247$ represent the value that we want to test.

The standard error for this case is given by:

$SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58$

For the 90% confidence the value of the significance is given by $\alpha=1-0.9 = 0.1$ and $\alpha/2 = 0.05$ so we can find in the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.05 of the area on each tail and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64$

And the margin of error would be:

$ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073$

The confidence interval for this case would be given by:

$\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927$

$\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073$

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

Replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238$

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is lower than 247 pounds, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 247$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu$

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

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

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165$

P-value

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z$

Answer:

The probability distribution is Normal continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic idea is that velocity values have different noise level and an important thing regarding continuous probability distributions is that the probability of the random variable is equal to a specific outcome is 0

In other words, is practically impossible that one value of velocity could be the same as others.
