The mean work week for engineers in start-up companies is claimed to be about 64 hours with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Kar

a, a newly hired engineer hopes that it's not (she wants it to be shorter). She asks 10 engineers in start-ups for the lengths of their mean work weeks. Their responses are 70; 45; 55; 60; 65; 55; 55; 60; 50; 55.
1. Is the newly hired engineer testing a mean or a proportion?
a. proportion.
b. mean.
2. The null hypothesis (or company claim), in symbols, is mu =___.
3. If the claim is correct, what is the probability that a sample mean would be as low as Kara's mean?
4. If Kara will accept the 60 hours as the real average so long as there's at least a 10% chance the sample average value could be as low as hers, should she accept the claim?
a. yes.
b. no.

Answer:

1.) mean

2.) H0 : μ = 64

3.) 0.0028

4) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis ; H0 : μ = 64

Alternative hypothesis ; H1 : μ < 64

From the data Given :

70; 45; 55; 60; 65; 55; 55; 60; 50; 55

Using calculator :

Xbar = 57

Sample size, n = 10

Standard deviation, s = 7.14

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ s/sqrt(n)

(57 - 64) ÷ 8 / sqrt(10)

Test statistic = - 2.77

Pvalue = (Z < - 2.77) = 0.0028 ( Z probability calculator)

α = 10% = 0.1

Reject H0 ; if P < α

Here,

P < α ; Hence, we reject the null

Jim and Gail invested a total of $3,600 in a stock, in a ratio of 5:7. The stock made $6,450 on top of the initial capital. If t
Ket [755]

"Since the ratio is 5:7 you can think in total there was 12 equal blocks of money invested. 5 of those blocks belonged to Jim and 7 of those blocks belonged to Gail. Since they invested $3,600 and then made $6,450 in total there is $10,050. Divide that total into 12 equal blocks of $837.50 and 5 of those blocks belong to Jim. So he will get $4,187.50"

Tyger is trying to eat less sugar in his diet.He reduces his sugar intake from 15 spoons a day to 9 1/2 spoons a day. What is th
seraphim [82]

Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.

Percentage decrease would be expressed as

Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100

It becomes

5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%

2x-1-(-x+3) = 6-2x SHOW STEPS....DUE TODAY
sveta [45]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−(−x + 3)=6−2x

(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1 + −1(−x + 3)=6−2x

2x + −1 + −1(−x) + (−1)(3)=6−2x

2x + −1 + x + −3=6−2x

2x + −1 + x + −3=6 + −2x

(Combine Like Terms)

(2x + x) + (−1 + −3)=−2x+6

3x + −4=−2x + 6

3x−4=−2x + 6

Add 2x to both sides.

3x−4 + 2x=−2x + 6 + 2x

5x−4=6

Add 4 to both sides.

5x−4 + 4=6 + 4

5x=10

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5=10/5

x=2
