In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen

concrete has a low value of ther- mal conductivity in order to minimize subsequent damage due to changing temperatures. Suppose two types of concrete, a graded aggregate and a no-fines aggregate, are being considered for a certain road. The table below summarizes data on thermal conductivity from an experiment carried out to compare the two types of concrete.
Ğ¢ÑÑеп ni xi si
Graded 42 0.486 0.187
No-fines Ñ 42 0.359 0.158

Assume that the conductivity for each sample of concrete is independent of that of all the others. Our interest is in determining if the mean conductivity for the graded concrete is significantly different than the mean conductivity for the no-fines concrete?

Required:
a. Formulate the above in terms of a hypothesis testing problem.
b. Give the test statistic and its reference distribution (under the null hypothesis).
c. Report the p-value of the test statistic and use it to assess the evidence that this sample provides on the scientific question of difference in mean conductivity of the two materials at the 5% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen concrete has a low value of thermal conductivity in order to minimize subsequent damage due to changing temperatures. Suppose two types of concrete, a graded aggregate and a no-fines aggregate, are being considered for a certain road. The table below summarizes data on thermal conductivity from an experiment carried out to compare the two types of concrete.

Type            ni                xi                  si

Graded       42           0.486            0.187

No-fines      42           0.359           0.158

To find - a. Formulate the above in terms of a hypothesis testing problem.

b. Give the test statistic and its reference distribution (under the null hypothesis).

c. Report the p-value of the test statistic and use it to assess the evidence that this sample provides on the scientific question of difference in mean conductivity of the two materials at the 5% level of significance.

Proof -

a.)

Hypothesis testing problem :

H0 : There is significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

H1 : There is no significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

b)

Test statistic :

Z = \frac{x_{1} - x_{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1}}  + \frac{s_{2}^{2} }{n_{2}} } }

Z = \frac{0.486 - 0.359 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.03496 }{42}  + \frac{0.02496 }{42} } }

Z = \frac{0.127 }{\sqrt{0.001468}}

Z = \frac{0.127 }{0.0377}

⇒Z(cal) = 3.3687

Z(tab) = 1.96

As Z (cal) > Z(tab)

So, we reject H0 at 5% Level of significance

p-value = 0.99962

Hence

There is significant difference in mean conductivity at the two materials.

Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 323
Harrizon [31]
Use a let statement 
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
<u>let x = the first consecutive integer
</u><u>let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer
</u>
second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
        -323  -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0

third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19 
x = -17

hope this help

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of m for the equation 5m − 2m + 4 = −1 + 12: Step 1: 5m − 2m + 3
Delicious77 [7]

Given:

Consider the equation is:

5m-2m+3=-1+12

Some steps of the solution are given.

To find:

The next step of the solution.

Solution:

Step 1: The given equation is:

5m-2m+3=-1+12

Step 2: Simplifying right hand side.

5m-2m+3=11

Step 3: Simplifying left hand side.

3m+3=11

These steps are already given. So, the next step is:

Step 4: Subtracting 3 from both sides.

3m=8

Therefore, the correct option is (b).
