By law, an industrial plant can discharge no more than 500 gallons of waste water per hour, on the average, into a neighboring l

ake. Based on other infractions they have noticed, an environmental action group believes this limit is being exceeded. Monitoring the plant is expensive, and a random sample of four hours is selected over a period of a week. Software reports:
Variable No. Cases Mean SD SE of Mean
WASTE 4 1000.0 400.0 200.0
(a) Test whether the mean discharge equals 500 gallons per hour against the alternative that the limit is being exceeded. Find the P-valuc and interpret.
(b) Explain why the test may be highly approximate or even invalid if the population distribution of discharge is far from normal.
(c) Explain how your one-sided analysisimplicitly tests the broader null hypothesis that µ <>

Answer:

P = 0.0438 ; We reject the Null and conclude that there is significant evidence that the discharge limit per gallon of waste has been exceeded.

Due to the small sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: μ = 500

H1 : μ > 500

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) / S.E

Tstatistic = (1000 - 500) / 200

= 500 / 200

= 2.5

Pvalue from Test score ; df = 4 - 1 = 3 ; using calculator :

Pvalue = 0.0438

At α = 0.05

Pvalue < α ; We reject the Null and conclude that there is significant evidence that the discharge limit per gallon of waste has been exceeded.

The test above has a very small sample size, and for a distribution to be approximately Normal, the sample size must be sufficiently large enough according to the Central limit theorem.

For a two sided analysis ; the Pvalue is twice that for the one sided, hence, Pvalue = (0.0438 * 2) = 0.0876 yielding a less strong evidence against the Null.

Solve the system of equations -5y+4x= 49 7y+2x= -23 Find X and Y<br> Will mark Brainlest
grigory [225]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>y = - 5 ; x = 6</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>-5y+4x= 49</em>

<em>7y+2x= -23 | × - 2</em>

<em />

<em>-5y+4x= 49</em>

<em>-14y - 4x = 46</em>

<em>___________ +</em>

<em>- 5y - 14y + 4x - 4x = 49 + 46</em>

<em>- 19y = 95 | × - 1</em>

<em>19y = - 95</em>

<em>y = - 95 : 19</em>

<em>y = - 5</em>

<em />

<em>- 5(-5) + 4x = 49</em>

<em>25 + 4x = 49</em>

<em>4x = 49 - 25</em>

<em>4x = 24</em>

<em>x = 24 : 4</em>

<em>x = 6</em>
