A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. The signals that emanate from a satellite strike the surface of the

dish and are reflected a single point, where the receiver is located. If the dish is 16 feet across at its opening and 5 feet deep at its center, at what position should the receiver be placed?

We need to find the distance,c between the vertex and the focus.
For a vertical parabola:

#If we place our parabola at the center, the expression changes to:

The points of the parabola are given as (12,2), substitute in our equation to find c:

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 450 gram setting. It
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Test statistic = -2.25

P-value = 0.0199

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 450 gram

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 441 grams

Sample size, n = 16

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample variance = 256

\sigma^2 = 256\\\sigma = \sqrt{256} = 16

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 450\text{ grams}\\H_A: \mu < 450\text{ grams}

We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{441 - 450}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{16}} } = -2.25

Now,

Degree of freedom =

=n-1 = 16-1=15

We can calculate the p-value from the table as:

P-value = 0.0199

Conclusion:

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the machine is under filling the bags .
