Suppose a consumer product researcher wanted to find out whether a highlighter lasted less than the manufacturer's claim that th

eir highlighters could write continuously for 14 hours. The researcher tested 40 highlighters and recorded the number of continuous hours each highlighter wrote before dying. Test the hypothesis that the highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours. X = 13.6 hours, s = 1.3 hours. Report the test statistic, p-value, null hypothesis, conclusion and round to nearest thousandth.

Answer:

The null hypothesis is H_0: \mu = 14

The alternate hypothesis is H_a: \mu < 14

The test statistic is t = -1.95.

The p-value is of 0.0292. This means that for a level of significance of 0.0292 and higher, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a consumer product researcher wanted to find out whether a highlighter lasted less than the manufacturer's claim that their highlighters could write continuously for 14 hours.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 14 hours, that is:

H_0: \mu = 14

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the mean is less than 14 hours, that is:

H_a: \mu < 14

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

14 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 14

X = 13.6 hours, s = 1.3 hours. Sample of 40:

In addition to the values of X and s given, we have that n = 40

Test statistic:

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

t = \frac{13.6 - 14}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{40}}}

t = -1.95

The test statistic is t = -1.95.

P-value:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean lower than 13.6, which is a left tailed test, with t = -1.95 and 40 - 1 = 39 degrees of freedom.

Using a calculator, the p-value is of 0.0292. This means that for a level of significance of 0.0292 and higher, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the  highlighters wrote for less than 14 continuous hours.

Question 10 of 21
PSYCHO15rus [73]

<u>ANSWER</u>

A. (4,12)

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The equations are:

10x +2y = 64...(1)

and

3x - 4y = -36...(2)

To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.

It is easier to eliminate x.

We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

20x + 4y = 128...(3)

We add equations (2) and (3).

3x + 20x + 4y - 4y =  - 36 + 128

23x = 92

Divide both sides by 23

\frac{23x}{23}  =  \frac{92}{23}

x = 4

Put x=4 into equation (1).

10(4)+2y = 64

40+2y = 64

2y = 64 - 40

2y = 24

\frac{2y}{2}  =  \frac{24}{2}

y = 12

The solution is (4,12)

Answer:

<u>-5 ± √5² - 4 · 1 · 4</u>

         2 · 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ax²+bx+c=0 (quadratic equation)

x=<u> -b ± √b² - 4ac</u>

           2a

a= 1

b= 5

c= 4

-<u>5 ± √5² - 4 · 1 · 4</u>

write an equation of the line with the same slope as the line given by 5x+2y=8 and as the same y-intercept as 3x-7y=10
Paladinen [302]
The slope of the first equation would be -5/2 because
2y=-5x+8
y=-5x/2+4
The y intercept of the 2nd equation is when x=0, so -7y=10
y=-10/7
The equation of the line would be y=-5x/2-10/7
Or in standard form....
5x/2+y=-10/7
5x+27=-20/7
