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 $

Solve for x: 2x+1= -3x+36
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 1 = -3x + 36

2x + 3x + 1 = -3x + 3x +36

5x + 1 = 36

5x + 1 - 1 = 36 - 1

5x = 35

5x/5 = 35/5

x = 7

Se tienen 16 maquinas cuyo rendimiento es del 90% y produce 4800 articulos en 6 dias trabajando 10horas diarias. Si se desea pro
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

5 máquinas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que con 16 máquinas, cada una con un rendimiento del 90%, se producen 4800 artículos en 6 días trabajando 10 horas diarias.

Primero extraigamos toda la información útil de esto.

Sea R la velocidad con la que trabaja una máquina con un rendimiento del 100%.

Entonces nuestras máquinas van a trabajar a:

(90%/100%)*R = 0.9*R

16 máquinas juntas trabajaran en total a 16 veces esa cantidad, o:

16*0.9*R

Luego también sabemos que las máquinas trabajan 10 horas al día por 6 días, es decir, trabajan un total de:

6*10h = 60h

60 horas.

Entonces podemos plantear la ecuación:

(16*0.9*R)*60h = 4800 artículos.

Ahora podemos despejar el valor de R.

R = (4800 artículos)/(16*0.9*60 horas) = 5.556 artículos/hora

Ahora:

Se desea producir 1200 artículos.

En 8 días trabajando 9 horas al día, es decir en:

8*9h = 72 horas

Con N máquinas al 60%.

Cada máquina al 60% trabajara con una velocidad de:

0.6*R

N máquinas entonces trabajaran en conjunto a:

N*(0.6*R)

Con la información que se nos da, podemos plantear la ecuación:

N*(0.6*R)*72horas = 1200 artículos.

Queremos resolver esto para N, el número de máquinas, entonces aislamos N

N = (1200 artículos)/((0.6*R)*72horas)

Reemplazando el valor de R, que es 5.556 artículos/hora

N = (1200 artículos)/((0.6*5.556 artículos/hora)*72horas) = 5

Se necesitaran 5 máquinas.
