To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.
For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:
Let's distribute the 0.5 first.
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.
Then, we simplify the entire expression.
Our equation now:
Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.
Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.
Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.
Answer:
(a) Null Hypothesis, :
41
Alternate Hypothesis, :
> 41
(b) The value of z test statistics is 1.08.
(c) We conclude that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that in a random sample of 40 such periods from Spanish colonial times, the sample mean is x¯ = 47.0. Previous studies of sunspot activity during this period indicate that σ = 35.
It is thought that for thousands of years, the mean number of sunspots per 4-week period was about µ = 41.
Let = <u><em>mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period.</em></u>
(a) Null Hypothesis, :
41 {means that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41}
Alternate Hypothesis, :
> 41 {means that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was higher than 41}
The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;
T.S. = ~ N(0,1)
where, = sample mean = 47
σ = population standard deviation = 35
n = sample of periods from Spanish colonial times = 40
So, <em><u>the test statistics</u></em> =
= 1.08
(b) The value of z test statistics is 1.08.
(c) <u>Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>
P-value = P(Z > 1.08) = 1 - P(Z < 1.08)
= 1 - 0.8599 = <u>0.1401</u>
Since, the P-value of the test statistics is higher than the level of significance as 0.1401 > 0.05, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.
Therefore, we conclude that the mean sunspot activity during the Spanish colonial period was lesser than or equal to 41.
