Answer:

The value of the test statistic is z = -0.877.

Step-by-step explanation:

Testing the difference in mean time spent on housework between husbands and wives.

At the null hypothesis, we test if there is no difference, that is, the subtraction of the means is 0:

H_0: \mu_H - \mu_W = 0

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, the subtraction of the means is different from 0.

H_1: \mu_H - \mu_W \neq 0

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

For the wives the mean was 7 hours/week and for the husbands the mean was 4.5 hours/week. The standard deviation of the differences in time spent on house work was 2.85.

This means that X = 4.5 - 7 = -2.5, s = 2.85

What is the value of the test statistic for testing the difference in mean time spent on housework between husbands and wives?

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{-2.5 - 0}{2.85}

z = -0.877

The value of the test statistic is z = -0.877.

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students in Jacob's homeroom = 20.

Number of students who bring their lunch to school = 5

Since the rest eat lunch in the cafeteria, the number of those who eats in the cafeteria will be:

PLEASE HELP ME !!! An apparel company uses a trucking service to deliver products from its warehouse to its retail outlets. For
nexus9112 [7]

Let distance between warehouse and retail outlets be x miles.

We are told that for a one-way trip, the trucking company charges a flat rate of $250 per truck, plus $1.25 for every mile driven. The apparel company has a budget of less than $950 per trip.

Upon multiplying 1.25 by x we will get delivering charges for x miles as 1.25*x. Total delivery charges also include $250 per one-way trip, therefore, 250 will be our constant.

Our total delivery charges for x miles will be,

1.25\cdot x+250    

The apparel company should service those outlets for whom delivery cost will be less than $950.

1.25\cdot x+250

Therefore, an inequality representing apparel company's profit will be 1.25\cdot x+250.
