A large software company gives job applicants a test of programming ability, and the mean for that test has been 160 in the past

. A random sample of 36 job applicants are selected from a large university, and they produce a sample mean score of 165 with a sample standard deviation of 12. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the mean score for students from this university is greater than 160. State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically. Which test procedure is appropriate to perform the required hypothesis test? Compute the value of the test statistic. Determine the P-value or provide the rejection region. What is your conclusion about the hypothesis test?

Answer:

Since the computed value of t=  0.833 does not fall in the critical region we therefore do not reject H0 and may conclude that population mean is greater than 160. Or the sample comes from population with mean of 165.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. State the null and alternative hypothesis as

H0: μ= 160 against the claim Ha :μ ≠160

Sample mean = x`=  165

Sample standard deviation= Sd= 12

2.  The test statistic to use is

t= x`-μ/sd/√n

which if H0 is true , has t distribution with n-1 = 36-1= 35 degrees of freedom

3. The critical region is t< t (0.025(35)= 2.0306

t= x`-μ/sd/√n

4. t = (165-160)/[12/√(36)] = 5/[6] = 0.833

5. Since the computed value of t=  0.833 does not fall in the critical region we therefore do not reject H0 and may conclude that population mean is greater than 160. Or the sample comes from population with mean of 165.

Now

6. The p-value is 0 .410326 for  t= 0.8333 with 35 degrees of freedom.

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 570 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate
valina [46]

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station increases is 537 miles/hour. Computed using Pythagoras Theorem and Differentiation.

We assume the station to be at point A.

The plane when directly over the station, takes point C.

As it is flying horizontally continuously at an altitude of 1 mile, AC = b = 1 mile.

The plane flies continuously, and when it is at a distance of 3 miles from the station, it is at point B.

The distance between the plane and the station of 3 miles can be shown as AB = c = 3 miles.

The movement of the plane from C to B can be shown as BC = a.

Now, from the given case, we get a right triangle ABC.

By Pythagoras' Theorem,

a² + b² = c² ... (i).

or, a² + 1² = 3²,

or, a² = 9 - 1 = 8,

or, a = 2√2 miles.

We are told that the plane is moving at a speed of 570 miles/hour.

This can be shown as, da/dt = 570 miles/hour.

As the plane is moving horizontally, the vertical distance between the plane and the station doesn't change, that is, db/dt = 0.

In the question, we are asked to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing, that is, we are asked to find dc/dt.

Differentiating (i), with respect to time t, we get:

2a(da/dt) + 2b(db/dt) = 2c(dc/dt).

Substituting values of a = 2√2 miles, b = 1 mile, c = 3 miles, da/dt = 570 miles/hour, and db/dt = 0, we get:

2(2√2)(570) + 2(1)(0) = 2(3)(dc/dt),

or, 2280√2 + 0 = 6(dc/dt),

or, dc/dt = 380√2 miles/hour = 537.40 miles/hour ≈ 537 miles/hour.

Thus, the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station increases is 537 miles/hour. Computed using Pythagoras Theorem and Differentiation.

What is (1.7x10^4)x(8.5x10^-2) in standard form
Temka [501]

Answer:

1.445 × 10³

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is a way of writing a small number or a large number easily.

We should give the final answer in standard form.

1) (1.7 × 10⁴) × (8.5 × 10⁻²)

We enter this directly into the calculator to obtain a solution.

= 1445

We write this in standard form we have :

1.445 × 10³
