The CEO of a large manufacturing company is curious if there is a difference in productivity level of her warehouse employees ba

sed on the region of the country the warehouse is located. She randomly selects 35 employees who work in warehouses on the East Coast (Group 1) and 35 employees who work in warehouses in the Midwest (Group 2) and records the number of parts shipped out from each for a week.
She finds that East Coast group ships an average of 1276 parts and knows the population standard deviation to be 347.
The Midwest group ships an average of 1439 parts and knows the population standard deviation to be 298.
Using a 0.01 level of significance, test if there is a difference in productivity level. What is the test statistic?

Answer:

The test statistic is z = -2.11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before finding the test statistic, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Group 1: Sample of 35, mean of 1276, standard deviation of 347.

This means that:

\mu_1 = 1276, s_1 = \frac{347}{\sqrt{35}} = 58.6537

Group 2: Sample of 35, mean of 1439, standard deviation of 298.

This means that:

\mu_2 = 1439, s_2 = \frac{298}{\sqrt{35}} = 50.3712

Test if there is a difference in productivity level.

At the null hypothesis, we test that there is no difference, that is, the subtraction is 0. So

H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that there is difference, that is, the subtraction is different of 0. So

H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

From the two samples:

X = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 1276 - 1439 = -163

s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{58.6537^2+50.3712^2} = 77.3144

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{-163 - 0}{77.3144}

z = -2.11

The test statistic is z = -2.11.

A mapping statement is a way of describing a _____ of a figure.
Pepsi [2]

A mapping system is a way of describing a C. Preimage of a figure. Mapping statements are known to define the range of data sources thus showing all the data. While on the other hand, preimage (in Mathematics) meaning is that set of all the elements of the domain that maps to the members of S.

Y=-4x.-3<br> y= -2x + 1<br> What is y and x?
Jet001 [13]
You would equal the equations together then solve for a variable.

-4x - 3 = -2x + 1

-4x + 2x = 1 + 3

-2x = 4
—— —-
-2 -2

x = -2

then take that x value and substitute it into any one of the equations.

Equation #1
y = -4(-2) -3
= 8 - 3
= 5

Equation #2
y = -2(-2) + 1
= 4 + 1
= 5

erica [24]

Answer:

They are both right becuase if you just take away 1 from 20 and 10  you get 2 and 1. For the 4:2 one take away 1 and mutiply by 2 equalling 4:2 but they are still the same thing.
