A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective. A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of nails claims that only 4% of its nails are defective.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 4%, that is:

$H_0: p = 0.04$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is more than 4%, that is:

$H_a: p > 0.04$

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

4% is tested at the null hypothesis

This means that $\mu = 0.04, \sigma = \sqrt{0.04*0.96}$

A random sample of 20 nails is selected, and it is found that two of them, 10%, are defective.

This means that $n = 20, X = 0.1$

Value of the test statistic:

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

$z = \frac{0.1 - 0.04}{\frac{\sqrt{0.04*0.96}}{\sqrt{20}}}$

$z = 1.37$

P-value of the test and decision:

Considering an standard significance level of 0.05.

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.1, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.37.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.37 has a p-value of 0.9147

1 - 0.9147 = 0.0853

The p-value of the test is 0.0853 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim based on this observation.

the angle of elevation of the top of a building from a point 80 ft away from the building on level ground is 70° determine the b

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.

Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.

The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
opp h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
adj 80 ft
h
Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = -------
80 ft

so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft

andrezito [222]

Given that a<span> local RadioShack store wants to buy a new line of plasma TVs. Manufacturer A offers chain discounts of 18/12, and Manufacturer B offers terms of 17/13.

Let the list price of the plasma TVs be x, then after a chain discount of 18/12 by Manufacturer A, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.18)(1 - 0.12)x = 0.82(0.88)x = 0.7216x

Also, after the discount of 17/13 by manufacturer B, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.17)(1 - 0.13)x = 0.83(0.87)x = 0.7221x

Thus, the final selling price after discount by manufacturer A is 0.7216 and the final selling price after dscount by manufacturer B is 0.7221x.

Therefore, Manufacturer A offers a </span><span>single equivalent discount rate that is the best deal.</span>
