Answer:

I feel like something is wrong with the equation but the answer is a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 3a - 3 = 6 + 3 = 9

--> 4a = 12 --> a = 3

Answer:

a. We reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05

b. The p-value is zero for practical applications

c. (-0.0225, -0.0375)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bottles from machine 1 be the first population and the bottles from machine 2 be the second population.

Then we have $n_{1} = 25$ , $\bar{x}_{1} = 2.04$ , $\sigma_{1} = 0.010$ and $n_{2} = 20$ , $\bar{x}_{2} = 2.07$ , $\sigma_{2} = 0.015$ . The pooled estimate is given by

$\sigma_{p}^{2} = \frac{(n_{1}-1)\sigma_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)\sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2} = \frac{(25-1)(0.010)^{2}+(20-1)(0.015)^{2}}{25+20-2} = 0.0001552$

a. We want to test $H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} = 0$ vs $H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} \neq 0$ (two-tailed alternative).

The test statistic is $T = \frac{\bar{x}_{1} - \bar{x}_{2}-0}{S_{p}\sqrt{1/n_{1}+1/n_{2}}}$ and the observed value is $t_{0} = \frac{2.04 - 2.07}{(0.01246)(0.3)} = -8.0257$ . T has a Student's t distribution with 20 + 25 - 2 = 43 df.

The rejection region is given by RR = {t | t < -2.0167 or t > 2.0167} where -2.0167 and 2.0167 are the 2.5th and 97.5th quantiles of the Student's t distribution with 43 df respectively. Because the observed value $t_{0}$ falls inside RR, we reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05
