A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 421 gram setting. It is
1 answer:
Answer:
The p-value is approximately 0.0508
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The expected mass of banana chips bag filled by the machine, μ = 421 gams
The number of bags in the sample of bags filled by the machine, n = 26 bags
The mean mass of the bags in the sample, = 413 grams
The standard deviation of the mass in the bags, s = 24 grams
The level of significance, α = 0.02
The null hypothesis, H₀; μ = 421 grams
The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ; μ < 421 grams
The test statistic is given as follows;
We get;
The t-value = -1.6996731712
The degrees of freedom df = n - 1 = 26 - 1 = 25
From an online source, we get the critical-t = 2.166587
The p-value is obtained using an online source as p(t ≤ -1.6996731712) = 0.0508
From the p-value table, we get
0.05 < p < 0.1

Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
hmm say "a" is the smaller, and "b" the greater
so "b" is "4 more than 5 times" "a"
so... 5 times "a" is 5*a or 5a
4 more than "that", will be "that" + 4
or
5a + 4
so.. whatever "a" is, "b" is 5a+4
now, their sum is 22, as opposed to "zz" hehe
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's "b"? well, b = 5a + 4
