Descent, Inc., produces a variety of climbing and mountaineering equipment. One of its products is a traditional three-strand cl

imbing rope. An important characteristic of any climbing rope is its tensile strength. Descent produces the three-strand rope on two separate production lines: one in Bozeman and the other in Challis. The Bozeman line has recently installed new production equipment. Descent regularly tests the tensile strength of its ropes by randomly selecting them to various tests. The most recent random sample of ropes, taken after the new equipment was installed at the Bozeman plant, revealed the following:
Bozeman; x1= 7,200 lbs
S1=425 n1=25,
Challis;x2=7,087
lbs, S2=415, n2=20

Required:
Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test at the 0.10 level of significance.

Solution :

Assuming $\sigma_1^2=\sigma_2^2$

We have to test

$H_0:\mu_1=\mu_2$

Against H_a: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Level of significance, $\alpha = 0.05$

$s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2+ (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}$

$s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(25-1)(425)^2+ (20-1)(415)^2}{25+20-2}}$

   = 420.6107

Under H_0, the t-statistics is as follows:

$t=\frac{(\overline{x_1} - \overline{x_2})}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}} \sim $             $\text{t with }(n_1+n_2-2) \ DF$

$t=\frac{(7200-7087)}{(420.6107)\sqrt{\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{20}}}$

 = 0.90

DF = (25 + 20 - 2)

    = 43

P-value of the test = 0.375

Since the p value is more than 0.05, we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

There is no difference between then mean tensile strength of the ropes that is produced in the Bozeman and Challis.

Alex buys 5 DVDs. Each DVD costs $9. If Alex receives a $2 discount on each DVD, what is the total amount of money alex apends?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The total amount of money Alex spends on 5 DVD = $ 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of DVD purchased by Alex = 5

The cost of each DVD = $9

So, the total cost of purchasing 5 DVD = 5 x ( csot of 1 DVD)

= 5 x ( $ 9) = $ 45

Now , the discount if 1 DVD = $ 2

So, the total discount of 5 DVD = 5 x ( Discount on1 DVD)

= 5 x ($ 2) = $ 10

⇒ The total amount Alex spends

= Total cost of 5 DVD - Discount on 5 DVD

= $ 45 - $ 10 = $ 35

Hence, the total amount of money Alex spends on 5 DVD = $ 35.

Xavier climbs 9 feet up into an apple tree. What integer represents the direction and how far he will climb to get back down to
natima [27]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

Xavier climbs 9 feet up into an apple tree.

The direction symbol or sign for upwards movement = Positive (+) sign

If Xavier would climb back down , he will climb back down 9 feet as well

The direction symbol or sign for downwards movement = Negative (-) sign

Since we know the distance (or how far) he has to climb by downwards is also 9 feet, therefore, the integer that represents the direction and how far he will climb to get back down to the ground is -9

Does this graph represent a function?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: <em>D. Yes, because it touches the y-axis exactly one time.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

on the graph it shows that it touches -2y and almost touches 1x so there for it is D.
