A sample of 28 sales transactions at Costco shows a mean transaction time of 296 seconds with a standard deviation of 48 seconds. Costco is interested in finding out whether the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds. Answer the following questions. a) Write down the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic and the critical value at 1% significance level. c) At 1% level of significance, what is your conclusion

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: \mu = 310[/tex] and the alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu < 310[/tex].

b) The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54[/tex]. The critical value is [tex]t_c = -2.473[/tex].

c) The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54 < t_c = -2.473[/tex], which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean transaction time is of 310 times, so no evidence to conclude that the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Costco is interested in finding out whether the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of 310 seconds, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 310[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is of less than 310 seconds, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 310[/tex]

b) Find the test statistic and the critical value at 1% significance level.

Test if the mean is less than a value, sample of 28, and standard deviation for the sample. Thus, we have a left-tailed t-test with 28 - 1 = 27 degrees of freedom and a 0.01 significance level, and the critical value is [tex]t_c = -2.473[/tex].

The test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation pf the sample and n is the size of the sample.

310 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 310[/tex].

A sample of 28 sales transactions at Costco shows a mean transaction time of 296 seconds with a standard deviation of 48 seconds.

This means that [tex]n = 28, X = 296, s = 48[/tex].

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{296 - 310}{\frac{48}{\sqrt{28}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -1.54[/tex]

The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54[/tex].

c) At 1% level of significance, what is your conclusion

The test statistic is [tex]t = -1.54 < t_c = -2.473[/tex], which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the mean transaction time is of 310 times, so no evidence to conclude that the mean transaction time is less than 310 seconds.

According to a study, 50 % of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old. 5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly selected, and the number of smokers who started smoking before 21 is recorded. a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each smoker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they started smoking before 21 years old, or they did not. Smokers are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

50% of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old.

This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly selected, and the number of smokers who started smoking before 21 is recorded.

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex].

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 = 0.1875[/tex]

The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5) = 1 - 0.03125 = 0.96875[/tex]

The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is P(X = 3). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125[/tex]

The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.

-5/8  fraction shows a correct way to set up the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1)

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1) we calculate by plugging the values to the slope formula.

m=1-(-4)/-6-2

m=1+4/-8

m=-5/8

Hence, -5/8  fraction shows a correct way to set up the slope formula for the line containing (2, -4) and (-6, 1)

The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 105 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis

Answers

Answer:

Null hypothesis rejected means that there is significant evidence to conclude that the team's mean rushing yards per game is less than 105 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 105 yards per game.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean number of rushing yards for the team was the league's mean, which is close to 105 yards per game, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 105[/tex].

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if there is significant evident to conclude that this team average is less than 105 yards per game, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 105[/tex]

How should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?

Null hypothesis rejected means that there is significant evidence to conclude that the team's mean rushing yards per game is less than 105 yards.

A factory is discharging pollution into a lake at the rate of r(t) tons per year given below, where t is the number of years that the factory has been in operation. Find the total amount of pollution discharged during the first 7 years of operation. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The total amount of pollution discharged during the first 7 years of operation is 1.955 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]r(t) = \frac{t}{t^2 + 1}[/tex]

Required

The total amount in the first 7 years

This implies that:

[tex]r(t) = \frac{t}{t^2 + 1}; [0,7][/tex]

The total amount is calculated by integrating r(t) i.e.

[tex]v = \int\limits^a_b {r(t)} \, dt[/tex]

So:

[tex]v = \int\limits^7_0 {\frac{t}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

--------------------------------------------------------------

We have:

[tex]t^2 + 1[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]d(t^2 + 1) = 2t[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]2t = d(t^2 + 1)[/tex]

Solve for t

[tex]t = \frac{1}{2}d(t^2 + 1)[/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So:

Make t the subject

[tex]v = \int\limits^7_0 {\frac{t}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]v = \int\limits^7_0\frac{1}{2}* {\frac{d(t^2 + 1)}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits^7_0 {\frac{d(t^2 + 1)}{t^2 + 1}} \, dt[/tex]

Integrate

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}\ln(t^2 +1)|\limits^7_0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[\ln(7^2 +1) - \ln(0^2 +1)][/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[\ln(50) - \ln(1)][/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[3.91 - 0][/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}[3.91][/tex]

[tex]v = 1.955[/tex]

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can examine the equations to see where the solution lies.

f(x) = (2/3) -x

This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=2/3. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=2/3. Its slope is -1.

h(x) = 3 -2x

This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=3/2. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=3. Its slope is -2.

__

In the first quadrant, the graph of h(x) is farther from the origin and steeper than the graph of f(x). The lines must cross in the 4th quadrant at some value of x that is greater than 3/2. The fraction in the definition of f(x) suggests that the solution will be a multiple of 1/3.

The attached table shows a couple of guesses at values of x that would make f(x) = h(x). We find that x = 7/3 is the solution we're looking for.
