The mean annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States is $1,499. Being from Pennsylvania, you believe automobile

insurance is cheaper there and wish to develop statistical support for your opinion. A sample of 25 automobile insurance policies from the state of Pennsylvania showed a mean annual premium of $1,440 with a standard deviation of s = $150.
a. Develop a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania is lower than the national mean annual premium.
b. What is a point estimate of the difference between the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania and the national mean (to the nearest dollar)?

Answer:

a) Then, t(s) is in the rejection region. We can not support that the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania is lower than the national mean annual premium

b) The point estimate of the difference is  59 $

Step-by-step explanation:

From sample we get:

sample size    n  =  25

annual mean   x  =  1440

standard deviation of the sample   s  =  150

mean for the mean annual premium    μ  = 1499

Hypothesis Test:

Null Hypothesis                      H₀           x  =   μ

Alternative Hypothesis          Hₐ           x  <   μ

Alternative Hypotesis indicates that the test is a one-tail test to the left

Let´s assume  confidence Interval 95 %    then  α  =  5 %   α = 0.05

As  n < 30 and we assume normality we will make a t-student test

degree of freedom    df  =  n  -  1    df  = 24

With df = 24  and  α = 0.05 and from t-student table we get t(c) =  - 1.711

To calculate t(s) we apply:

t(s)  =  (  x  -  μ ) / s/√n

t(s)  =  ( 1440  -  1499 ) * 5 / 150

t(s)  =  - 59/ 30

t(s)  =  - 1.96

Comparing t(s)  and t(c)  

|t(s)| > |t(c)|

Then, t(s) is in the rejection region. We can not support that the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania is lower than the national mean annual premium.

b) The point estimate for the difference is :   x  - μ  =  59 $

7.RP.A.1 3. If 1 1/2 cups of something fills 2/3 of a container, how many cups fill the container? ​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:

we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container

To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.

3/2÷2

3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths

Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.

3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4

Check your work!

3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct

3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.

Simplify!

9/4 = 2&1/4

That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>

Hope this helps!

Determine the mean of the numbers 6, 17, 22, 28, and 37.
Kipish [7]
To find the mean or the avg you add up all the numbers you have and then divide by how many numbers you added together in this case 5

6+ 17+22+28+37=110

\frac{110}{5} =22

so the mean is 22, hope this helped you!

Will the product be more or less than 9 8/9
solniwko [45]
It would be less because when you multiply something by 1/2 you are basically dividing it by 2, finding half. So when you multiply 9 8/9 by 1/2 your product would be less than 9 8/9
