Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the sample mean
represent the sample standard deviation for the sample
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean weight is less than 4 ounces, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
Answer:
a.) .95
b.) The expected number of baskets is 10.50.
c.) 1.7748
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) This is a binomial distribution as there are two possibilities: makes a free throw or doesn't. This means that you can use the binomial function on a calculator to figure out the answer. Use the binomial CDF function on a calculator and the number of trials=15, probability of success=.7, lower bound=0, upper bound=7. Once you have evaluated the answer, .0500, it will need to be subtracted from1, as you want everything not included in this section. The answer to part a is thus 1-.0500=.95.
b.) The expected value is calculated by taking the total number of shots and multiplying it by the probability of making the shot: 15×.7=10.5 shots.
c.) The standard deviation of a binomial distribution can be calculated by the formula . Plugging in the numbers you get
=1.7748.
