What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, 4) and has a slope<br> of -2/3

Sarah claims that the thickness of the spearmint gum she produces is 7.5 one-hundredths of an inch. A quality control specialist

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 7.65, 7.60, 7.65, 7.7, 7.55, 7.55, 7.4, 7.4, 7.5, 7.5

We can begin calculating the sample mean given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And the sample deviation given by:

$s=\sart{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And we got:

$\bar X=7.55$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.103$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =7.5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ 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 is equal to 7.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 7.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 7.5$

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:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (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:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.

When solving the equation such as 2/3x = 4/5 , why would you multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3 ?

barxatty [35]

Answer: Well you’re solving for “x,” so you’ll need to isolate this variable. This means we need to “get rid of” the fraction 2/3 that is attached to it. The faction is attached by the operation multiplication, so to remove it we must divide it on both sides. And division with fractions requires the reciprocal. (Try watching an explanation if you’re confused on why division requires reciprocals).

Ritta purchased a package of stickers. She noticed 4 out of every 5 stickers where purple. Which table shows the relationship be

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

4:5

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see the table but since it is 4 out of every 5 stickers are purple, the ratio would be 4:5, 4/5, or 4 to 5. It doesn't really matter, because all of these mean the same thing.

Tell me if I'm wrong :)
