Answer:

The null hypothesis is H_0: \mu = 6658

Tha alternate hypothesis is H_a: \mu > 6658

The decision rule is that if t < 1.976, the null hypothesis is not rejected, that is, there is no evidence to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result, and that if t > 1.976, the null hypothesis is reject and there is evidence to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result.

The test statistic is t = 1.94

As the test statistic of t = 1.94 is higher than the critical value of t, it is reasonable to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result

Step-by-step explanation:

A recent survey by nerdwallet indicated Americans paid a mean of $6,658 interest on credit card debt in 2017. Test if it is reasonable to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result.

At the null hypothesis, we test if they paid the same, that is:

H_0: \mu = 6658

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if they paid more, that is:

H_a: \mu > 6658

Test statistic:

The test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level.

Right-tailed test(test if the mean is higher than the value) with 12 - 1 = 11 degrees of freedom, has a critical value of t = 1.976.

So

The decision rule is that if t < 1.976, the null hypothesis is not rejected, that is, there is no reasonable evidence to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result, and that if t > 1.976, the null hypothesis is reject and there is reasonable evidence to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result.

6658 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 6658

Sample mean and standard deviation:

With the given data-set:

Mean of X = 7163.6

Standard deviation of s = 902.25

Sample of 12:

This means that n = 12

Compute the value of the test statistic.

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{7163.6 - 6658}{\frac{902.25}{\sqrt{12}}}

t = 1.94

As the test statistic of t = 1.94 is higher than the critical value of t, it is reasonable to conclude that these households paid more interest than the survey result

The perimeter of a rectangular construction site is 124 meters. The width is eight meters more than 5 times the length. Find the
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of both lengths and both widths, which is equal to 54 meters. Let's call Length L and Width W.

The question is saying this: L = 3 meters + 3(W). We have 2 variables, which means we need at least 2 equations to solve. So far we have one, our second equation is from the perimeter.

2 lengths + 2 Widths = 54. Now, it's just a plug and chug.

2(3 + 3W) + 2W = 54.

6 + 6W + 2W = 54

8W = 48

W=6

L = 3 + 3(6) = 21

To double check: 2(21) + 2(6) = 42 + 12 = 54

The Width is 6 meters, and the Length is 21 meters.

8x+3y=4 <br> -7x+5y=-34 <br><br> Elimination using multiplication
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

x= 2    and y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3y = 4 ---------------------------------(1)

-7x + 5y = -34 -----------------------------(2)

Multiply through equation (1) by 5 and multiply through equation(2) by 3

40x + 15y = 20 ----------------------------(3)

-21x + 15y =-102----------------------------(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

61x = 122

Divide both-side of the equation by 61

61x/61 = 122/61

(At the left-hand side of the equation 61 will cancel-out 61 leaving us with just x, while at the left-hand side of the equation 122 will be divided by 61)

x = 122/61

x=2

Substitute x= 2 into equation (1)

8x + 3y = 4

8(2) + 3y = 4

16 + 3y = 4

Subtract 16 from both-side of the equation

16-16 + 3y = 4-16

3y = -12

Divide both-side of the equation by 3

3y/3 = -12/3

y = -4

x= 2    and y = -4
