Answer:

a. At the 0.05 level of significance,  there is evidence that the mean life is different from 6,500 hours.

b. The p value= ≈ 0.00480 for z- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected .

The p value= 0.006913 for t- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected for 49 degrees of freedom.

c. CI [6583.336 ,6816.336]

d.  The range of CI [6583.336 ,6816.336] tells that the cfls having a different mean life lie in this range.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean = u= 6500 hours.

Population standard deviation = σ=500 hours.

Sample size =n= 50

Sample mean =x`=  6,700 hours

Sample standard deviation=s=  600 hours.

Critical values, where P(Z > Z) =∝ and P(t >) =∝

Z(0.10)=1.282  

Z(0.05)=1.645  

Z(0.025)=1.960  

t(0.01)(49)= 1.299

t(0.05)= 1.677  

t(0.025,49)=2.010

Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u = 6500 against the claim Ha: u ≠ 6500

Applying Z test

Z= x`- u/ s/√n

z= 6700-6500/500/√50

Z= 200/70.7113

z= 2.82=2.82

Applying  t test

t= x`- u /s/√n

t= 6700-6500/600/√50

t= 2.82

a. At the 0.05 level of significance,  there is evidence that the mean life is different from 6,500 hours.

Yes we reject H0  for z- test as it falls in the critical region,at the 0.05 level of significance, z=2.82 > z∝=1.645

For t test  we reject H0   as it falls in the critical region,at the 0.05 level of significance, t=2.82 > t∝=1.677 with n-1 = 50-1 = 49 degrees of freedom.

b. The p value= ≈ 0.00480 for z- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected .

The p value= 0.006913 for t- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected for 49 degrees of freedom.

c. The 95 % confidence interval of the population mean life is estimated by

x` ±  z∝/2  (σ/√n )

6700± 1.645 (500/√50)

6700±116.336

6583.336 ,6816.336

d. The range of CI [6583.336 ,6816.336] tells that the cfls having a different mean life lie in this range.

Match each whole number with a rational, exponential expression. 1. 512 2. 8 3. 343 4. 216 5. 729 6.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1. 2^9 = 512

2. 2^3 = 8

3. 7^3 = 343

4. 6^3 = 216

5. 3^6 = 729

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to express the number as a multiplication of prime numbers, from there we can take the expression as a power

1.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 512

2^9 = 512

2.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8

2^3 = 8

3.

7 x 7 x 7 = 343

7^3 = 343

4.

6 x 6 x 6 = 216

6^3 = 216

5.

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729

3^6 = 729

In a cave, a stalactite gets 44 millimeters longer each year. this year it is 72 centimeters long. how many years until it is 1
iragen [17]

Answer:

6.36 years (the .36 repeats), so rounded is 6.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm going to convert all measurements to meters.

Since 1000 mm = 1 m, divide 44 by 1000.

44/1000 = 0.044 m

Since 100 cm = 1 m, divide 72 by 100.

72/100 = 0.72 m

Next, I'm going to setup an equation using y = mx + b.

b is the beginning amount which is 0.72.

m in the equation represents the rate which is 0.044.

y represents the total which is 1.

Plugin the numbers and solve for x.

1 = 0.044x + 0.72

1 - 0.72 = 0.044x + 0.72 - 0.72

0.28 = 0.044x

0.28/0.044 = 0.044x/0.044

6.36 = x
