The local public transport authority is conducting research into commuter behaviour. A previous census indicated that the mean c

ommuter time was 45 minutes with a standard deviation of 9.1 minutes. After some recent infrastructure upgrades and a new train timetable, the transport authority would like to test whether average commuter time has decreased. A random sample of 50 commuter times has been collected.

Conduct a hypothesis test to test whether the new changes have decreased mean commuter time.1) From the following options, select the correct null and alternate hypotheses for this test:A. H0: μ = 45, Ha: μ > 45B. H0: μ > 45, Ha: μ = 45C. H0: μ = 45, Ha: μ < 45D. H0: μ = 45, Ha: μ ≠ 45
2) Calculate the test statistic.
3) Calculate the test statistic.
4) Therefore, at a significance level of 0.05 the null hypothesis is rejectednot rejected.

Answer:

H_0:\mu  = 45 and H_a:\mu  < 45

T = 34.88

The null hypothesis is not rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Random sample of 50 commuter times

Solving (a): The null and alternate hypothesis

From the question, a previous census shows that:

\mu =45 and \sigma= 9.1

This is the null hypothesis i.e.

H_0:\mu  = 45

Reading further, a new test was to show whether the average has decreased.

This is the alternate hypothesis, and it is represented as:

H_a:\mu  < 45

Solving (b) and (c): The test statistic (T).

This is calculated using:

T = \frac{\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt n}

In this case:

n = 50   \mu =45 and \sigma= 9.1

So:

T = \frac{45}{9.1/\sqrt{50}}

T = \frac{45}{9.1/7.07}

T = \frac{45}{1.29}

T = 34.88

Solving (c): Accept or reject null hypothesis

\alpha = 0.05

First calculate the degrees of freedom (df)

df = n - 1 = 50 - 1

d f = 49

From the t distribution table,

At: d f = 49,  \alpha = 0.05 and T = 34.88

the t score is:

p = 1.676

p > 0.05

<em>So, the null hypothesis is not rejected</em>

An on-demand movie company charges $2.95 per movie plus a monthly fee of $39.95. Which expression represents the yearly cost for
natulia [17]

Answer:

y=$2.95x+$479.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the number of movie rentals

y ----> the cost for movie rentals

we know that

The expression that represent the monthly cost is equal to

y=$2.95x+$39.95

1 year has 12 months

so

The expression that represent the yearly cost is equal to

y=$2.95x+$39.95*(12)

y=$2.95x+$479.4

What is the answer to x-1=-5-x
maria [59]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation x-1=-5-x

In order to solve for x, we need to get all of the x's to one side and everything else to the opposite side

x-1=-5-x

First, we can add 1 to each side

x=-4-x

Now, we can add x to each side

2x=-4

Next, we can divide each side by 2

x=-2

And here is our answer.
