Two college instructors are interested in whether or not there is any variation in the way they grade math exams. They each grad

e the same set of 10 exams. The first instructor's grades have a variance of 58.9. The second instructor's grades have a variance of 84.8. Test the claim that the first instructor's variance is smaller. (In most colleges, it is desirable for the variances of exam grades to be nearly the same among instructors.) The level of significance is 10%. (Recall: that the larger of the 2 variances needs to be in the numerator as the test is 1-tailed to the right)

Answer:

Since the calculated value of F = 1.4397 is less than the critical value of

F (9,9)= 2.4403 we conclude that the  first instructor's variance is smaller and reject H0.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Formulate the hypothesis that first variance is equal or greater than the second variance

H0: σ₁²≥σ₂²  against the claim  that the first instructor's variance is smaller

 Ha: σ₁²< σ₂²

2) Test Statistic F= s₂²/s₁²

F= 84.8/ 58.9=  1.4397

3)Degrees of Freedom = n1-1= 10-1= 9  and n2 = 10-1= 9

4)Critical value   at 10 % significance level= F(9,9)= 2.4403

5)Since the calculated value of F = 1.4397 is less than the critical value of

F (9,9)= 2.4403 we conclude that the  first instructor's variance is smaller and reject H0.

stiks02 [169]
The area needed is at least 170.5 ft².

Let w  =  the width of the rectangular area.
Because the length is 15.5 ft, therefore the calculated area should be at least 170.5 ft². That is
(15.5 ft)*(w ft) ≥ 170.5 ft²
w ≥ 170.5/15.5
w ≥ 11 ft

Answer:  w ≥ 11 ft

The power generation plant of a ship is outfitted with two identical diesel-generator sets. One single set running stand-alone c
dem82 [27]

Answer:

probability of an electric power outage shipboard is 0.075 or 7.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Probability of engine malfunction = 25% = 0.25

Probability of generator malfunction = 10% = 0.1  

Probability of generator being repaired = 50% = 0.5

probability of an electric power outage shipboard = ?

To get the probability of an electric power outage shipboard, we use the expression;

probability of an electric power outage = 2_c_1 × p( Probability of generator malfunction ) × p( Probability of generator being repaired ) × ( 1 - p( Probability of engine malfunction ) )

so we substitute in our given values;

probability of an electric power outage = 2 × 0.1 × 0.5 × ( 1 - 0.25 )

probability of an electric power outage = 2 × 0.1 × 0.5 × 0.75

probability of an electric power outage = 0.075 or 7.5 %

ΔABC is a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle. The pattern of its sides is as follows:

Each leg = 1 unit (and both legs are that way, since the triangle is isosceles - so two sides are the same)

Hypotenuse = √2 units.

So if we know either leg, we multiply by √2 to get the hypotenuse. In reverse, we divide by √2 if we know the hypotenuse to get the measurement of a leg.

Our problem tells us that the hypotenuse AC is 10 units. We divide 10 by √2 to get the measurement of leg AB. Since it's a 45 -45 - 90 triangle, AB = BC.

AB = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}} to rationalize the radical

= \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

Thus, each leg is 5\sqrt{2} [/tex].
