Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ = 15 Ha: μ ≠ 15 A sample of 50 provided a sample mean of 14.11. The population sta
bearhunter [10]

Answer: -2.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : H_0:\mu=15

H_a:\mu\neq15

Sample size : n= 50, since the sample size is greater than 30 , so we apply z-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=14.11

Standard deviation : \sigma= 3

The test statistic for population mean :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

i.e. z=\dfrac{14.11-15}{\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{50}}}=-2.09775011752\approx-2.10

Hence, the value of the test statistic = -2.10

Papessa [141]

Answer:

  (a)  1024 ways

  (b)  243 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When answers are independent, the total number of ways all questions can be answered is the product of the number of ways each question can be answered.

__

<h3>(a)</h3>

The first question can have one answer 4 ways. The second question can be answered 4 ways for each of the ways the first question was answered. That is, the two questions can be answered 4×4 = 16 ways. Similarly, each additional question multiplies the number of ways the questions can be answered by 4.

The 5 questions can be answered 4×4×4×4×4 = 4^5 = 1024 ways.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

There are 3 ways to answer the first question incorrectly. Each additional question can be answered incorrectly 3 ways for each of the ways previous questions were answered. The total number of ways all questions can be answered incorrectly is ...

  3^5 = 243

A student can answer all questions wrong in 243 different ways.
