A drug company is considering marketing a new local anesthetic. The effective time of the anesthetic the drug company is current

lapo4ka [179]

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a)

The hypothesis test is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

The p-value is of 0.0668.

The critical value is $z^{\ast} = -1.28$

b) Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of 7.4 minutes, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is lower than 7.4 minutes, that is:

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

We have the standard deviation for the population, hence, the z-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

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

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the sample.

n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: $\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36$ .

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

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

$z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}$

$z = -1.5$

Using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0668.

Also using a calculator, considering a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, the critical value with a significance level of 0.1 is of $z^{\ast} = -1.28$ .

Item b:

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Solving one-step inequalities by multiplying/dividing <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=14v%20%5Cleqslant%2014" id="TexFormul

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: v <= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a variable by a number, you do the opposite of multiplying, so you divide

Since there's only 14v you divide 14 from itself leaving just the variable

14 ÷ 14 = 1

You repeat this and divide on the other side

14 ÷ 14 = 1

Since you arent dividing by a negative on both sides, the arrow stays the same

v <= 1

Hope this helps!

If two angles are supplement of each other, then one of the angles must be acute

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

this is true

Step-by-step explanation:

a supplementary angle adds up to 180 degrees. two accute angles would equal to around 90 and two obtuse angles would add up to more than 180. two right angles are perpendicular and they could work but since the question asks about acute and obtuse, its true that one angle must be acute and the other must be obtuse for it to add up to 180.

Multiply. Express your answer in simplest form.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Bet

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s a simple one to write. There are many trios of integers (x,y,z) that satisfy x²+y²=z². These are known as the Pythagorean Triples, like (3,4,5) and (5,12,13). Now, do any trios (x,y,z) satisfy x³+y³=z³? The answer is no, and that’s Fermat’s Last Theorem.

On the surface, it seems easy. Can you think of the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=8? Sure. One answer is x = 1, y = -1, and z = 2. But what about the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=42?

That turned out to be much harder—as in, no one was able to solve for those integers for 65 years until a supercomputer finally came up with the solution to 42. (For the record: x = -80538738812075974, y = 80435758145817515, and z = 12602123297335631. Obviously.)
