Answer:

They should guarantee the lifetime of their batteries for 32 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 36 months and a standard deviation of 2 months.

This means that \mu = 36, \sigma = 2

If the company wants to replace no more than 2% of all batteries, for how many months should they guarantee the lifetime of their batteries?

The guarantee should be the 2th percentile of lengths, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.02. So X when Z = -2.054.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-2.054 = \frac{X - 36}{2}

X - 36 = -2.054*2

X = 31.89

Rounding to the closest month, 32.

They should guarantee the lifetime of their batteries for 32 months.

Find the distance between the given points (4,1) and (-5, -2)
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

3\sqrt{10} units I THINK

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distance formula, -2 - 1 = -3

-3 x -3 = 9

-5 - 4 = -9 x -9 = 81

81 + 9 = 90

sqrt 90 simplified is 3\sqrt{10}.

so im pretty sure that's the answer.

A clinical psychologist wants to test whether experiencing childhood trauma affects one's self-efficacy in adulthood. He randoml
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 152.5

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ ≠ 152.5

This is a two tailed test.

Since no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 231

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 231 - 1 = 230

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 148.9

µ = population mean = 152.5

s = samples standard deviation = 27.4

t = (148.9 - 152.5)/(27.4/√231) = - 2

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.047

Since alpha, 0.05 > thanthere sufficient evidence to conclude that the self-efficacy of adults who have experienced childhood trauma differs from that in the general population of individuals the p value, 0.047, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the self-efficacy of adults who have experienced childhood trauma differs from that in the general population of individuals
