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.

A) Compute the sum
avanturin [10]
A)

To calculate this sum, we could use trigonometric identity:

\arcsin(x)-\arcsin(y)=\arcsin\left(x\sqrt{1-y^2}-y\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)

We have:

\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k}-\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k}}{k(k+1)}-\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k+1-1}}{k(k+1)}-\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{(k+1)^2-1}}{k(k+1)}-\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\\\\\\&#10;

=\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{1}{k}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{(k+1)^2-1}}{\sqrt{(k+1)^2}}-\dfrac{1}{k+1}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2-1}}{\sqrt{k^2}}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{1}{k}\cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{(k+1)&^2-1}{(k+1)^2}}-\dfrac{1}{k+1}\cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{k^2-1}{k^2}}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{1}{k}\cdot\sqrt{1-\dfrac{1}{(k+1)^2}}-\dfrac{1}{k+1}\cdot\sqrt{1-\dfrac{1}{k^2}}\right]=\\\\\\&#10;

=\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{1}{k}\cdot\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{k+1}\right)^2}-\dfrac{1}{k+1}\cdot\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{1}{k}\right)^2}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left[\arcsin\left(\dfrac{1}{k}\right)-\arcsin\left(\dfrac{1}{k+1}\right)\right]=\\\\\\

=\bigg[\arcsin(1)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\bigg]+\bigg[\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\bigg]+\\\\\\+&#10;\bigg[\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\bigg]+\dots+&#10;\bigg[\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{n+1}\right)\bigg]=\\\\\\

=\arcsin(1)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)+\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)-\\\\\\-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+\dots+\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{n+1}\right)=\\\\\\=&#10;\arcsin(1)-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{n+1}\right)=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{n+1}\right)

So the answer is:

\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k}-\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\arcsin\left(\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right)}

B)

\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k}-\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k}-\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\\\\\\=&#10;\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\Bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\arcsin\left(\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right)\Bigg)=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\arcsin\left(\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right)=\\\\\\=&#10;\Bigg\{\dfrac{1}{n+1}\xrightarrow{n\to\infty}0\Bigg\}=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\arcsin(0)=\dfrac{\pi}{2}-0=\dfrac{\pi}{2}

So we prove that:

\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\arcsin\left[\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2k}-\sqrt{k^2-1}}{k(k+1)}\right]=\dfrac{\pi}{2}

Francine uses 2/3 cup of pineapple juice for every 1/3 cup of orange juice to make a smoothie.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 1/3 cup of orange juice, she uses 2/3 cups

You are solving for  1 cup. To solve, multiply 3/1 to both fractions.

(1/3)(3/1) = 3/3 = 1

(2/3)(3/1) = 6/3 = 2

For every 1 cup of orange juice, 2 cups of pineapple juice is used.

Find the surface area of the prism.
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

108 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

the surface area is the sum of all individual shapes areas on the surface.

2 right-angled triangles

3 rectangles

area of a right-angled triangle is At = a×b/2

At = 4×3/2 = 6 cm²

we need it twice : 12 cm²

one rectangle (length×width) = 8×3 = 24 cm²

one rectangle = 8×4 = 32 in²

one rectangle = 8×5 = 40 cm²

total surface area

A = 12+24+32+40 = 108 cm²

an area is always a square unit (power of 2).

a volume is always a cubic unit (power of 3).

and a length is always a simple unit (power of 1).
