Answer: 22 defective balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the law of equality,

9 defective balls = 225 ...eqn 1.

14 defective balls = 350...eqn 2

x defective balls = 550...eqn 3

We can use any two of the equations above to get the unknown variable 'x'

Using equations 2 and 3,

14 defective balls = 350...eqn 2

x defective balls = 550...eqn 3

We cross multiply to have

x×350 = 14×550

Dividing both sides by 350,

x = 14×550/350

x = 22.

Therefore, the number of defective balls produced in a lot of 550 balls are 22balls.

Note that we will still arrive at the same answer (22balls) if equation 1 and 3 are used for our solution.

Thank you!

An urban planner is researching commute times in the San Francisco Bay Area to find out if commute times have increased. In whic
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The urban planner collects travel times from a random sample of 125 commuters in the San Francisco Bay Area. A traffic Study from last year claimed that the average commute time in the San Francisco Bay Area is 45 min. The urban planner will see if there is evidence the average commute time is greater than 45 minutes

( Here in this case, Null hypothesis will be Η :μ = 45

And the Alternate Hypoyhesis will be   H, :μ> 45 )

C. The urban planner asks a random Sample of 100 commuters in the San Francisco Bay Area to record travel times on a Tuesday morning. One year later, the urban planner asks the same 100 commuters to record travel times on a tuesday morning . The urban planner will see the difference in commute time shows an increase.

Here in this case the null hypothesis will be, H₀ : \mu _d = 0

And the Alternate Hypothesis will be   H, : \mu _d <0 The commute time after 1 year is more
