A recent survey of 50 executives who were laid off during a recent recession revealed it took a mean of 26 weeks for them to fin

d another position. Assume the population standard deviation is 6.2 weeks. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

Answer:

The pvalue of 0.0113 < 0.05 means that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 28

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} < 28

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

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

A recent survey of 50 executives who were laid off during a recent recession revealed it took a mean of 26 weeks for them to find another position.

This means that n = 50, X = 26

Assume the population standard deviation is 6.2 weeks.

This means that \sigma = 6.2

Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

We have to find the pvalue of Z, looking at the z-table, when \mu = 28. It if is lower than 0.05, it provides evidence.

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{26 - 28}{\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{50}}}

z = -2.28

z = -2.28 has a pvalue of 0.0113 < 0.05.

The pvalue of 0.0113 < 0.05 means that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

The value of which of these expressions is closest to e?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: expressions

To find: the expression whose value is closest to e

Solution:

Value of e is 2.718

\left ( 1+\frac{1}{19} \right )^{19}=\left ( \frac{20}{19} \right )^{19}=2.65\\\left ( 1+\frac{1}{22} \right )^{22}=\left ( \frac{23}{22} \right )^{22}=2.659\\\left ( 1+\frac{1}{20} \right )^{20}=\left ( \frac{21}{20} \right )^{20}=2.653\\\left ( 1+\frac{1}{21} \right )^{21}=\left ( \frac{22}{21} \right )^{21}=2.656

Therefore, value 2.659 is closest to the value of e.

So, option B. is correct.

A bus travels on an east-west highway connecting two cities A and B that are 100 miles apart. There are 2 services stations alon
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

51/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with you have to understand what is the distribution of the random variable. If X represents the point where the bus breaks down. That is correct.  

X~ Uniform(0,100)

Then the probability mass function is given as follows.

f(x) = P(X=x) = 1/100  \,\,\,\, \text{if} \,\,\,\, 0 \leq x \leq 100\\f(x) = P(X=x) = 0  \,\,\,\, \text{otherwise}

Now, imagine that the D represents the distance from the break down point to the nearest station. Think about this, the first service station is 20 meters away from city A, and the second station is located  70 meters away from city A then the mid point between 20 and 70  is (70+20)/2 = 45 then we can represent D as follows

D(x) =\left\{ \begin{array}{ll}  x  & \mbox{if } 0\leq x \leq 20 \\  x-20 & \mbox{if } 20\leq x < 45\\                70-x & \mbox{if } 45 \leq x \leq 70\\                x-70 & \mbox{if } 70 \leq x \leq 100\\ \end{array}\right.

Now, as we said before X represents the random variable where the bus breaks down, then we form a new random variable Y = D(X), Y is a random variable as well, remember that there is a theorem that says that

E[Y] = E[D(X)] = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} D(x) f(x) \,\, dx

Where f(x) is the probability mass function of X. Using the information of our problem

E[Y] = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}  D(x)f(x) dx \\= \frac{1}{100} \bigg[ \int\limits_{0}^{20} x dx +\int\limits_{20}^{45} (x-20) dx +\int\limits_{45}^{70} (70-x) dx +\int\limits_{70}^{100} (x-70) dx  \bigg]\\= \frac{51}{4} = 12.75
