A manufacturer wants to increase the shelf life of a line of cake mixes. Past records indicate that the average shelf life of th

e mix is 216 days. After a revised mix has been developed, a sample of nine boxes of cake mix gave these shelf lives (in days): 215, 217, 218, 219, 216, 217, 217, 218, and 218. Using α = 0.025, has the shelf life of the cake mix increased?
a. Yes, because computed t is less than the critical value.
b. Yes, because computed t is greater than the critical value.
c. No, because computed t lies in the region of acceptance.
d. No, because 217.24 is quite close to 216.

Answer:

Option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size n = 9

sample mean = 217.222

Standard deviation s = 1.202

alpha a = 0.025

H0 : u = 216

H1 : u > 216 ( claim)

Now run a T test and result is :

Test statistic, t = \frac{(xbar-u)}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

                     t = \frac{(217.222-216)}{\frac{1.202}{\sqrt{9}}}

                       = \frac{1.222}{0.40066}}

                     t = 3.0509

Critical value = t(a,n-1) = t(0.025,9-1)

                      = 2.306

Since t > critical value, Hence reject H0.

Option b. is the answer. Yes, because computed t is greater than the critical value.

3+-√(-3)^2 - 4(5)(-1)
Alona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way to do this is step by step.  Your quadratic, from your entry, must be

5x^2-3x-1.

Step by step looks like this, one thing at a time:

x=\frac{3+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(5)(-1)} }{2(5)} becomes

x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9-(-20)} }{10} becomes

x=\frac{3+\sqrt{9+20} }{10}

and this of course is

x=\frac{3+\sqrt{29} }{10}

Do the same with the subtraction sign to get the other solution.

If you're unsure of how to enter it into your calculator, do it step by step so you don't mess up the sign.  If you enter it incorrectly, you could end up with an imaginary number when it should be real, or a real one that should be imaginary.

Just my advice as a high school math teacher.

Write the equation of the ellipse with its center at the origin. The height of the ellipse is 8 units and the width is 4 units.
RoseWind [281]
The standard equation of an ellipse is:

(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

Since the center at the origin, then h = k = 0

The height of this ellipse = 8 units and the width = 4 units, that means the major axis is b (=8) and the minor axis is a (=4)

Then the equation becomes:

x²/16 + y²/64 = 1
