Complete Question

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens remain unemployed for an average of 15.9 weeks before finding their next job (June, 2008). Suppose you want to show that Louisiana has been effective in getting their unemployed back to work sooner. You take a random sample of 50 citizens who were unemployed six months earlier and ask them to report the duration. You find that the average time spent unemployed was 13.4 weeks with a sample standard deviation of the time unemployed is 6.7 weeks.

1 Which of the following statements is the correct alternative hypothesis?

2 The test statistic for testing the hypothesis is

a. -2.64

b. -2.32

c. -2.11

d. -1.28

e. none of these are correct

Answer:

1

The alternative hypothesis $H_a : \mu < 15.9$

2

The test statistics $z = -2.64$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean value for time citizens remain unemployed is $\mu = 15.9 \ weeks$

The sample size is n = 50

The sample standard deviation is 6.7 weeks.

The sample mean value for time citizens remain unemployed is $\mu = 15.9 \ weeks$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu \ge 15.9$

The alternative hypothesis $H_a : \mu < 15.9$

Generally test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

=> $z = \frac{13.4 - 15.9}{\frac{6.7}{\sqrt{50}}}$

=> $z = -2.64$

What angle corresponds to angle AFG?

viva [34]

Look at the image below :)

In case you didn't know, corresponding angles are equal to each other and are on the same side of the traversal

Therefore the answer is angle CGH

Hope this helped!

Suppose that X has an exponential distribution with mean equal to 10. Determine the following: a. P(X > 10) b. P(X > 20) c

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b) The value of P (X > 20) is 0.1353.

(c) The value of P (X < 30) is 0.9502.

(d) The value of x is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of an exponential distribution is:

$f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0, \lambda>0$

The value of E (X) is 10.

The parameter λ is:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{E(X)}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

$P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{10} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{10}\\=e^{-0.10\times10}\\=0.3679$

Thus, the value of P (X > 10) is 0.3679.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X > 20) as follows:

$P(X>20)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} {0.10 e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx \\=0.10\int\limits^{\infty}_{20} { e^{-0.10 x}} \, dx\\=0.10|\frac{e^{-0.10 x}}{-0.10} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=|e^{-0.10 x} |^{\infty}_{20}\\=e^{-0.10\times20}\\=0.1353$
