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.

If y = 2x2 – 4x, what is the value of y when x equals 5. <br> A.10 <br> B.30 <br> C.80 <br> D.480
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The value of y in the given equation is B. 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x² - 4x             x = 5

y = 2(5)² - 4(5)        Plug 5 in for x

y = 2(25) - 20         Square 5 and multiply 4 by 5

y = 50 - 20             Multiply 2 by 25

y = 30

Hope this helps,

A car wheel has a radius of 16 inches. Through what angle ( to the nearest tenth of a degree ) does the wheel turn when the car
olya-2409 [2.1K]

First of all, let's convert all the measures to the same unit: 4 feet are 48 inches.

Now, as the wheel turns, there is a proportion between the angle and the distance travelled: for example, when the car moves forward a whole circumference, the angle will be 360°. Conversely, if the wheel turns 180°, then the car will move forward a distance which is half the circumference of the wheel, and so on.

Since the radius is 16 inches, the circumference will be

C=2\pi r = 32\pi

So, we have the following proportion:

360\div 32\pi = x \div 48

that you can read as: "if an angle of 360 corresponds to a distance travelled of 32\pi, then the unknown angle x corresponds to a distance travelled of 48 inches.

Solving for x, we have

x = \dfrac{360\cdot 48}{32\pi} = \dfrac{17280}{32\pi} = 171.887338539\ldots \approx 171.9
