The General Social Survey asked a large number of people how much time they spent watching TV each day. The mean number of hours

was 2.98 with a standard deviation of 2.66. Assume that in a sample of 40 teenagers, the sample standard deviation of daily TV time is 1.9 hours, and that the population of TV watching times is normally distributed. Can you conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers is less than 2.66

Answer:

Yes, we can conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers is less than 2.66

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : σ² = 2.66²

H1 : σ² < 2.66²

X²c = (n - 1)*s² ÷ σ²

sample size, n = 40

Sample standard deviation, s = 1.9

X²c = ((40 - 1) * 1.9²) ÷ 2.66²

X²c = 140.79 ÷ 7.0756

X²c = 19.897

Using a confidence level of 95%

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; df = 40 - 1 = 39

The critical value using the chi distribution table is 25.6954

Comparing the test statistic with the critical value :

19.897 < 25.6954

Test statistic < Critical value ; Reject the Null

Hence, we can conclude that the population standard deviation of TV watching times for teenagers is less than 2.66

How do I fill this out? Im not sure how to?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

z=-21

Step-by-step explanation: (9-3)/2=(6+z)/5

We move all terms to the left:

(9-3)/2-((6+z)/5)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-((z+6)/5)+6/2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-((z+6)/5)+3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-((z+6)+3*5)=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -((z+6)+3*5), so:

(z+6)+3*5

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(z+6)+15

We get rid of parentheses

z+6+15

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

z+21

Back to the equation:

-(z+21)

We get rid of parentheses

-z-21=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1z-21=0

We move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right

-z=21

z=21/-1

z=-21

Laura has two large cylindrical barrels of solution in her chemical laboratory. The first barrel contains 900 liters of solution
aleksley [76]

Answer:

-36m + 900 < 44m + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The first barrel contains 900 liters of the solution; &

The second barrel contains 100 liters of solution.

So, Laura drains the first barrel at the rate of 36 liters/ min

Since Laura is draining the solution in the first barrel;

Then; we have - 36m + 900 litres

Also; Laura fills the second barrel at a rate of 44 liters per minute.

Since Laura is filling the barrel; we have: 44m + 100

Therefore; the inequality representing when the second barrel contains a greater or equal amount of solution than the first barrel can be expressed as:

- 36m + 900 < 44m + 100
