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.

The marching band sold gift wrap priced at $4.00 per roll for solid colors and $6.00 per roll for print patterns. If they sold 4
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The number of gift wrap rolls for solid colors sold was 270 and the number of gift wrap rolls for sprint patterns sold was 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of gift wrap rolls for solid colors sold

y ---> the number of gift wrap rolls for sprint patterns sold

we know that

x+y=480 ---->x=480-y ----> equation A

4x+6y=2,340 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

4(480-y)+6y=2,340

solve for y

1,920-4y+6y=2,340

-4y+6y=2,340-1,920

2y=420

y=210

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=480-y ----> x=480-210=270

therefore

The number of gift wrap rolls for solid colors sold was 270 and the number of gift wrap rolls for sprint patterns sold was 210

A chemical company makes two brands
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

16 bags for the first(30% pure) and 64 bags of the second(80% pure)

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are mixed in a ratio of x bags to y bags

(0.3x+0.8y)/(x+y) = 0.7

0.3x + 0.8y = 0.7(x+y)

Multiply both sides with 10

3x + 8y = 7(x+y)

4x = y ——(1)

x + y = 80 ——(2)

Solve simultaneously

x + 4x = 80

5x = 80

x = 16 bags

y = 4x = 64 bags

Points A, P and B are collinear on AB, and PB:AB= 2/7. A is located at the orgin, P is located at (10,-5) and B is located at (x
Ymorist [56]
A (0,0) is at the origin.
P is at (10, -5).

Let the coordinates of B be (x,y).
Because A,  B, and P are collinear and PB : AB = 2/7, therefore
x = (7/9)*10 = 7.78
y = (7/9)*(-5) = -3.89

The distance between B and the x-axis is 3.89
The distance between B and the y-axis s 7.78

Answer: The x-axis is closer to B

A population of 1200 rabbits increases by 2.5% each year. At the end of 5 years, there will be approximately 1,358 rabbits in th
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: y= 1200 (1.025)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

1200= 1200 (1+ 2.5/100)^5

1200= 1200 (1+ 0.025)^5

1200= 1200 (1.025)^5

For the number of rabbits, y, at the end of t years

y= 1200 (1.025)^t
