s = hours it takes the small pipe on its own.
L = hours it takes the large pipe on its own.
we know the small pipe can do it in 11 hours total, so s = 11, so, how much of the whole job has the small done in 1 hour only?
well, if it takes 11 hours to do the whole thing, in 1 hour it has done only 1/11 of the whole job.
we know both pipes working together can do it in 6 hours flat. So in 1 hour only, both of them have done only 1/6 of the whole thing.
in that 1 hour, how much has the large one done? well, it has only done 1/L of the job.
and you can round that up as needed.
Answer:
a: z = -1.936
b: 0.0265
d: z < -1.645
Reject H0 if z < -1.645
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
H0: µ = 20
HA: µ < 20
n = 60, sample mean: 19.6, σ = 1.6
Since the alternate hypothesis has a < sign in it, it is a left tailed test. The < or > sign in the alternate hypothesis points towards the rejection region.
For a: We need to calculate the test statistic for our situation. This is done with a z-score formula for samples.
For b: we need to use the z-score table to look up the p-value for the score we calculate in part a. The p-value is 0.0265. This means that there is only about a 2.65% chance that the sample values were a result of random chance.
For d: Since the significance level is 0.05, and this is a one tailed test, we have a critical value of z < - 1.645. This means that if the z-score we calculate in part a is less than -1.645, we will reject the null hypothesis
