Last year, the mean running time for a certain type of light bulb was 8.5 hours. This year, the manufacturer has introduced a ch

ange in the production method. A random sample of 40 of the new light bulbs has a mean running time of 8.7 hours with a standard deviation, s, of 0.5 hours. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the mean running time of the new light bulbs is greater than last year’s mean of 8.5 hours. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically. b) Which test procedure is appropriate to perform the required hypothesis test? c) Compute the value of the test statistic. d) Determine the P-value or provide the rejection region. Please round your answers to three decimal places. e) Should you reject the null hypotheses or not? f) What is your conclusion about the hypothesis test?

Answer:

H0 : μ = 8.5

H1 : μ > 8.5

1 sample t test ;

Test statistic = 2.53

Pvalue = 0.994

No, we fail to reject the Null ;

There is no significant evidence to support the Claim that the mean running time of light bulb is greater Tha last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 8.5

H1 : μ > 8.5

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/sqrt(n))

(8.7 - 8.5) ÷ (0.5 / sqrt40)

Test statistic = 2.53

The Pvalue :

P(Z < 2.53) = 0.9943

Pvalue = 0.994

Decison region :

Reject H0 ; if Pvalue < α

0.9943 > 0.05 ; We fail to reject the Null

Solve x2+6x=7 by completing the square.Which is the solution set of the equation?
NARA [144]

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 6x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 7 + 9

(x + 3)² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ± \sqrt{16} = ± 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± 4

x = - 3 - 4 = - 7

x = - 3 + 4 = 1

Solution set = { - 7, 1 }

Find the difference between 8/10 and -2 Show all calculations in your final answer.
valkas [14]
=2 4/5

8/10+2

2+8/10=2 8/10

4/5- -2/1

(4x1)-(-2x5) divided by 5x1

=4- -10 divided by 5

=14/5

=2 4/5

A model car uses the scale 1:43. The actual length of a car is 17.2 feet. What is the length of the model car?
faust18 [17]
17.2/43= 0.4

Since the scale is 1:43, you would just divide the actual length by 43.

0.4:17.2 is congruent to 1:43.

43/17.2= 2.5

1/.04= 2.5

I hope this helps!

Please write an equation
Katen [24]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{5-2}{4-0} = \frac{3}{4}

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2 ) ⇒ c = 2

y = \frac{3}{4} x + 2 ← equation of line

The population of a rabbit colony triples each month.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

3645 rabbits after 6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a rabbit colony triples each month.

This means that the population of the colony after t months is given by:

P(t) = P(0)(3)^t

In which P(0) is the initial population.

The population started with 5 rabbits.

This means that P(0) = 5

So

P(t) = 5(3)^t

How many rabbits are there after 6 months?

This is P(6). So

P(6) = 5(3)^6 = 3645

3645 rabbits after 6 months.
