Historically, a certain region has experienced 65 thunder days annually. (A "thunder day" is day on which at least one instance

of thunder is audible to a normal human ear). Over the past eleven years, the mean number of thunder days is 55 with a standard deviation of 20. Can you conclude that the mean number of thunder days is less than 65? Use the a = 0.01 level of significance.

Answer:

No, we can't conclude that the mean number of thunder days is less than 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Historically, a certain region has experienced 65 thunder days annually. Over the past eleven years, the mean number of thunder days is 55 with a standard deviation of 20.

We have to test that the mean number of thunder days is less than 65 or not.

Let, NULL HYPOTHESIS, H_0 : \mu \geq 65 days {means that the mean number of thunder days is higher than or equal to 65}

ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, H_1 : \mu < 65 days {means that the mean number of thunder days is less than 65}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test;

               T.S. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where,  \bar X = sample mean number of thunder days = 55

              s = sample standard deviation = 20

              n = number of years = 11

So, <u>test statistics </u>= \frac{55-65}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{11} } }  ~ t_1_0

                             = -1.658

Now, at 1% significance level t table gives critical value of -2.764. Since our test statistics is higher than the critical value of t so we have insufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis as it will not fall in the left side of critical value rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean number of thunder days is higher than or equal to 65.

Cross products question, 3/5 over x multiplied by 12 over 20<br> what is x
Nitella [24]

Answer:

9/25x

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5/x ×12/20

3/5×1/x ×12/20

36/100x

Divide both by 4

9/25x

The exact value of x cannot be determined because we don't know what the equation is equated to

So we will have to leave the answer as 9/25x
