A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting. It is

believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 41 bag sample had a mean of 440 grams with a variance of 441. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Specify the type of hypothesis test.

Answer:

The null hypothesis is H_0: \mu = 444

The alternative hypothesis is H_1: \mu < 444

The p-value of the test is 0.1148 > 0.05, which means that the sample does not give enough evidence to conclude that the machine is underfilling the bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 444 gram setting.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the machine works correctly, that is, the mean is of 444. So

H_0: \mu = 444

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if they are underfilling, that is, if the mean is of less than 444. So

H_1: \mu < 444

The test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

444 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 444

A 41 bag sample had a mean of 440 grams with a variance of 441.

This means that n = 41, X = 440, s = \sqrt{441} = 21

Value of the test statistic:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{440 - 444}{\frac{21}{\sqrt{41}}}

t = -1.22

P-value of the test:

Right-tailed test(test if the mean is less than a value), with 41 - 1 = 40 df and t = -1.22.

Using a t-distribution calculator, this p-value is of 0.1148

The p-value of the test is 0.1148 > 0.05, which means that the sample does not give enough evidence to conclude that the machine is underfilling the bags.

Which statement best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have
laila [671]
<span>Randomly generate an integer from 1 to 7 two times, and the probability is 1/7 ^2

This is the </span><span>statement that best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have their birthdays on a Monday.

There are 7 days in a week, so there are 7 choices but only 1 Monday. So, 1/7 is the probability that a person's birthday falls on a Monday.

1st person asked will have 1/7 probability.
2nd person asked will also have 1/7 probability

So, (1/7)</span>² is the probability that both persons will have their birthdays on a Monday.

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is calculated as

mean = \frac{sum}{count}

         = \frac{4x+5+7x-6-8x+2}{3}

         = \frac{3x+1}{3}

         = \frac{3x}{3} + \frac{1}{3}

        = x + \frac{1}{3}

If you flip a fair coin 6 times, what is the probability that you will get exactly 4 tails
mars1129 [50]

Answer: So the number of outcomes with exactly 4 tails is 720/2/24 = 15. Finally we can now calculate the probability of getting exactly 4 tails in 6 coin tosses as 15/64 = 0.234 to 3 decimal places.

Identify the terms of the coefficients of the expression. 8x-20y-10
baherus [9]
The terms of this expression would be 8x,-20y, and -10. The coefficients are the numbers in front of the variable so they would be 8 and 20 because they are accompanied by a variable.
