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

Leap years are years in which February has 29 days instead of 28. The device of leap year was invented to keep the calendar in s
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

As you know, a year has around 365 + 1/4 days.

This means that in two years, we have:

365 + 356 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 730 + 1/2

and so on.

adding this up, when we have 4 years we have a full day extra, this is:

1460 + 1

When we divide 1461 by 4, we have 365 with a surpass of 1.

The rule used to keep the calendar in sync with this extra day is adding an extra day to each fourth year.

So each fourth year, we have an extra day in Februray (the Februray 29th), this is called a bisiest year.

The "math rule" used to know if a year is leap or not is:

if a year is not divisible by 4, then it is a common year

else if the year is not divisible by 100 then it is a leap year,

else if the year is not divisible by 400, then it is a common year

if not, the year is a leap year.

Where "year" represents the number of the year.
