A manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average lifetime for a particular model of shoes is 15 months. Someone in the res

earch and development division of the shoe company claims to have developed a longer lasting product. This new product was worn by 25 individuals and lasted on average for 17 months. The variability of the original shoe is estimated based on the standard deviation of the new group which is 5.5 months. Is the designer's claim of a better shoe supported by the trial results?

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population mean is  \mu = 15 \ months

   The sample size is  n =  25

   The sample mean is  \= x  = 17 \ months

   The standard deviation is  s = 5.5 \ months

Let assume the level of significance of this test is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 15

     The alternative hypothesis is  H_a : \mu  > 17

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as  

         df = n -1

=>       df = 25 -1

=>       df = 24

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

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

=>   t = \frac{ 17 - 15 }{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }

=>   t =  1.8182

Generally from the student t distribution table the probability of obtaining   t =  1.8182 to the right of the curve at a degree of freedom of df = 24  is  

    p-value  = P(t > 0.18182 ) = 0.4286

From the value obtained we see that  p-value > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is  supported by the trial results.

If the linear correlation between two variables is​ negative, what can be said about the slope of the regression​ line? Choose t
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C) Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

<u>Correlation</u>:-

Correlation is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together

<u>Positive correlation :-</u>

Positive correlation occurs when the two variables of a function move in opposite directions. As the value of 'x' increases ,the Value of 'y' increases. Like wise the value of 'y' decreases, the value of 'x' decreases.

<u>Negative correlation:-</u>

Negative correlation occurs when the two variables of a function move in opposite directions. As the value of 'x' increases ,the Value of 'y' decreases. Like wise the value of 'y' decreases, the value of 'x' increases.

<u>Final answer</u>:-

If the linear correlation between two variables is negative then the slope of the regression line is also positive.

Solve the inequality: 2x + 10 &gt; 16​
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Move the Constant to the right</u>

2x > 16 - 10

<u>Subtract the numbers</u>

2x > 6

<u>Divide both sides of the inequality by 2</u>

x > 3

Hope this helps!

The daily profit P ​(in thousands of​ dollars) from the sale of televisions is a function of the number x of televisions sold ​(
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The break-even sales amounts​ is 36 or 224.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

P= -5x^2 + 13x - 4

Where x is the number of televisions sold (in hundreds) and P is the profit.

We need to calculate the break-even sales amounts​.

the​ break-even sales amounts​ is the sales amounts that result in no profit or​ loss.

That means substitute P=0 and solve for x.

-5x^2 + 13x - 4=0

5x^2-13x+4=0

\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Substitute a=4, b=-13 and c=4 in above formula.

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-13\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-13\right)^2-4\cdot \:5\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:5}

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{13\pm\sqrt{169-80}}{10}

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{13\pm\sqrt{89}}{10}

x=\frac{13+\sqrt{89}}{10},\:x=\frac{13-\sqrt{89}}{10}\\x\approx2.243, \ or\ x\approx 0.357

Therefore, the break-even sales amounts​ is 36 or 224.

Factor the following:
4 p (4 p - 1) - 3 (4 p - 1)^2

Factor 4 p - 1 from 4 p (4 p - 1) - 3 (4 p - 1)^2:
(4 p - 1) (4 p - 3 (4 p - 1))

-3 (4 p - 1) = 3 - 12 p:
(4 p - 1) (4 p + 3 - 12 p)

Grouping like terms, 4 p - 12 p + 3 = 3 + (4 p - 12 p):
(4 p - 1) (3 + (4 p - 12 p))
4 p - 12 p = -8 p:

Answer:  (4 p - 1) (-8 p + 3)

Factor the following:
m (m + n) - 3 m (m + n)^2

Factor m + n out of m (m + n) - 3 m (m + n)^2, resulting in (m + n) (m - 3 m (m + n)^(2 - 1)):
(m + n) (m - 3 m (m + n)^(2 - 1))

2 - 1 = 1:
(m + n) (m - 3 m (m + n))

Factor m out of m - 3 m (m + n), resulting in m (1 - 3 (m + n)):
m (1 - 3 (m + n)) (m + n)

-3 (m + n) = -3 m - 3 n:
Answer:  m (m + n) (-3 m - 3 n + 1)

Factor the following:
6 u^2 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 u^2 (2 u - 5) (u + 5)

Factor u^2 out of 6 u^2 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 u^2 (2 u - 5) (u + 5), resulting in u^2 (6 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5)):
u^2 (6 (2 u - 5)^2 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5))

(2 u - 5) (2 u - 5) = (2 u) (2 u) + (2 u) (-5) + (-5) (2 u) + (-5) (-5) = 4 u^2 - 10 u - 10 u + 25 = 4 u^2 - 20 u + 25:
u^2 (6 4 u^2 - 20 u + 25 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5))

6 (4 u^2 - 20 u + 25) = 24 u^2 - 120 u + 150:
u^2 (24 u^2 - 120 u + 150 - 12 (2 u - 5) (u + 5))

(u + 5) (2 u - 5) = (u) (2 u) + (u) (-5) + (5) (2 u) + (5) (-5) = 2 u^2 - 5 u + 10 u - 25 = 2 u^2 + 5 u - 25:u^2 (150 - 120 u + 24 u^2 - 122 u^2 + 5 u - 25)

-12 (2 u^2 + 5 u - 25) = -24 u^2 - 60 u + 300:
u^2 (-24 u^2 - 60 u + 300 + 24 u^2 - 120 u + 150)

Grouping like terms, 24 u^2 - 24 u^2 - 60 u - 120 u + 150 + 300 = (-120 u - 60 u) + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + (150 + 300):
u^2 ((-120 u - 60 u) + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + (150 + 300))

-120 u - 60 u = -180 u:
u^2 (-180 u + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + (150 + 300))
150 + 300 = 450:
u^2 (-180 u + (24 u^2 - 24 u^2) + 450)

24 u^2 - 24 u^2 = 0:
u^2 (450 - 180 u)

Factor 90 out of 450 - 180 u:
Answer:  u^2×90 (5 - 2 u)
