An engineer wants to know if the average amount of energy used in his factory per day has changed since last year. The factory u

sed an average of 2,000 megawatt hours (mwh) per day prior to last year. Since last year, the engineer surveyed 400 days and found the average energy use was 2,040 mwh per day. Assume that the population standard deviation is 425 mwh per day.
a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to determine whether the factory's energy use has changed.
b. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value.
c. At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the energy usage has changed? Explain.

Answer:

<em> The calculated value Z = 1.8823 <1.96 at 0.05 level of significance</em>

<em> The average amount of energy used in his factory per day has changed since last year.          </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given that mean of the Population = 2000 (MWH)

Given that size of the sample 'n' = 400

Given that mean of sample x⁻ = 2040 MWH

Given that the standard deviation = 425 MWH per day

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em>Null hypothesis:H₀: μ = 2000 (MWH)</em></u>

<u><em>Alternative Hypothesis:H₁: μ≠ 2000( MWH)</em></u>

<em>Test statistic</em>

<em>                  </em>Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }<em></em>

<em>                 </em>Z = \frac{2040-2000}{\frac{425}{\sqrt{400} } }<em></em>

<em>                Z =  1.8823</em>

<em>The calculated value Z = 1.8823 <1.96 at 0.05 level of significance</em>

<u><em>Final answer:</em></u><em>-</em>

<em> The calculated value Z = 1.8823 <1.96 at 0.05 level of significance</em>

<em> The average amount of energy used in his factory per day has changed since last year.          </em>

If (9x − 4)(9x + 4) = ax² − b, what is the value of a? (5 points)
lions [1.4K]

Given, (9x - 4)(9x + 4) = ax² - b

From algebraic identities:

We know, (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

Now, 81x² + 36x - 36x - 16 = ax² - b

81x² - 16 = axis² - b

So ax² = 81x²

a = 81

-b = -16

b = 16

Solution

Therefore, the value of a is 81.

How to isolate a variable
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The basic technique to isolate a variable is to “do something to both sides” of the equation, such as add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number. By repeating this process, we can get the variable isolated on one side of the equation.

Determine weather randomly picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, l
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is certain with probability equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a mathematical framework which helps us to analyze chance of the outcome in a particular experiment. The value of probability is given by the ratio of the possible outcomes favorable to a certain experiment to the total outcomes.

We say an event is certain when the probability is 1 and the probability is zero when the event is uncertain.

Here the experiment is picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards.

Possible outcomes are all the cards colored blue in the bag.

Total outcomes are also all the blue cards in the bag.

∴ The value of probability is 1 as the event is certain because if we pick a card from the bag containing only blue cards, it would certainly give us a blue card.

jessica's mother gave her 70 chocolates to give to her friends. She gave 3 chocolates to each of her friends at the party and ha
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

She had 22 friends at her graduation party.

Step-by-step explanation:

70 chocolates total minus 3 chocolates times the number of friends she had at the party = 4

70-3x=4

Subtract 70 from both sides of the equation

-3x=4-70

Simplify

-3x=-66

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

-3x/-3=-66/-3

Simplify

x=22
