I need help with this

Consider the following sets.

Answer:

[2,3] is the answer

assuming you didn't have equal symbols under the inequality signs, you know $\le$ and $\ge$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok let's solve 3x+4>13 or 1/2 x+3<4.

Let's begin with 3x+4>13.

3x+4>13

Subtract 4 on both sides:

3x>9

Divide both sides by 3:

x>3

Now the other 1/2 x +3<4.

Subtract 3 on both sides:

1/2 x<1

Multiply both sides by 2:

x<2

So we have x>3 or x<2

If we graph this, this will give us better idea of what is and isn't a solution.

~~~~~~~~O x<2

O~~~~~~ x>3

------------(2)---------(3)---------

The only numbers not included are between 2 and 3 (inclusive).

So if x is between [2,3] then A or B has no solution.

The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5

Answer:

z=-3.25

$p_v =2*P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=5.24$ represent the mean production for the sample

$\sigma=0.32$ represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

$n=16$ sample size

$\mu_o =5.5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alph=0.05a$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean production is different from 5.5 tons, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu =5.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 5.5$

If we analyze the info given we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{5.24-5.5}{\frac{0.32}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3.25$

P-value

Since this is a two side test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the production its significant different compared to the desired percentage of SiO2 of 5.5 at 5% of signficance.
