The answer is 6...
I guess if you wanted it to be a decimal you could do 6.0

Hope this helped!

No, it can't. Because, 36/6 = 6
Since the numerator divided by the denominator is a whole number, it would not be expressed as a decimal.

I hope this helps!

A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 4.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line. He must recalibrate his machines

storchak [24]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o: \mu = 4$ .

The alternate hypothesis is $H_a: \mu \neq 4$

The pvalue of the test is 0.0182 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs to recalibrate the machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 4.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line.

This means that the null hypothesis is that they are 4.00 cm long, that is:

$H_o: \mu = 4$

At the alternate hypothesis we test if it is different. So

$H_a: \mu \neq 4$

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 $\mu = 4$

After sampling 196 randomly selected bolts off the assembly line, he calculates the sample mean to be 4.14 cm.

This means that $n = 196, X = 4.14$

He knows that the population standard deviation is 0.83 cm.

This means that $\sigma = 0.83$

Value of the test statistic:

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

$z = \frac{4.14 - 4}{\frac{0.83}{\sqrt{196}}}$

$z = 2.36$

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability that the sample mean is different by at least 4.14 - 4 = 0.14 from the target value, which is P(|z| > 2.36), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -2.36.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.36 has a pvalue of 0.0091

2*0.0091 = 0.0182

The pvalue of the test is 0.0182 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs to recalibrate the machines.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of cancer diagnoses between the two groups is (0.3834, 0.5166).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction between normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

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.

The randomly sampled 400 dogs from homes where an herbicide was used on a regular basis, diagnosing lymphoma in 230 of them.

This means that:

$p_h = \frac{230}{400} = 0.575, s_h = \sqrt{\frac{0.575*0.425}{400}} = 0.0247$
