Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the <u>test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test</u>, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the average box of cereal does not contain more than 368 grams</u>, that is:

H_0: \mu \leq 368

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if it contains</u>, that is:

H_1: \mu > 368

We have the <em>standard deviation for the sample</em>, hence, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The test statistic is given by:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

The parameters are:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, the values of the <em>parameters </em>are: \overline{x} = 372.5, \mu = 368, s = 15, n = 25.

Hence, the value of the <em>test statistic</em> is:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{372.5 - 368}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}

t = 1.5

The critical value for a <u>right-tailed test</u>, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a <u>significance level of 0.05,</u> with 25 -1 = <u>24 df</u>, is of t^{\ast} = 1.71.

Since the <u>test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test</u>, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

Find two numbers between 1.4142133 and 1.41422
Naddik [55]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the number halfway between two numbers, you simply add them and then divide by two.

1.4142133+1.41422=2.8284333

2.8284333/2=1.41421665

That is one number in between these two. Now, we can find the number in between the middle number and the second number. This is another number in between our two numbers.

(1.41421665+1.41422)/2=1.414218325

You could keep on doing this and find tons of numbers in between these two.

Therefore, two numbers between 1.4142133 and 1.41422 are 1.41421665 and 1.414218325.

Have a wonderful day! :D

What is the slope of the line with the equation 8x + 3y = 9?
Sidana [21]
8x+3y=9
-8x. -8x
3y = -8x+9
3y/3 = (-8x+9)/3
y = -8/3x +3
so, slope is -8/3
