Answer:

What is kinetic friction?

Kinetic friction is defined as a force that acts between moving surfaces. A body moving on the surface experiences a force in the opposite direction of its movement.

What causes it?

When the mass is not moving, the object experiences static friction. The friction increases as the applied force increases until the block moves. After the block moves, it experiences kinetic friction, which is less than the maximum static friction.

What does it generate?

When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (that is, it converts work to heat). This property can have dramatic consequences, as illustrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire.

A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars comple

babunello [35]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 16$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu$

b) $t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77$

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance. so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=15.6$ represent the mean for the sample

$s=0.3$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=8$ sample size

$\mu_o =16$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Is a one tailed left test.

What are H0 and Ha for this study?

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 16$

Alternative hypothesis : $\mu$

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77$

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(7)}$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.1$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance. so then the consumer suspect is correct.
