The director of a state agency believes that the average starting salary for clerical employees in the state is less than $30,000 per year. To test her hypothesis, she has collected a random sample of 100 starting clerical salaries from across the state and found that the sample mean is $29,750. a) Develop the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. b) Assuming the standard deviation is known to be $2,500 and the significance level for the test is to be 0.05, what is the t-statistic

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The test statistics is   [tex]z = -1[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n  =  100

  The null hypothesis  is  [tex]H_o : \mu = \$30000[/tex]

   The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 30000[/tex]

   The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = \$29,750[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \$2,500[/tex]

    The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>      [tex]z = \frac{29750 - 30000 }{ \frac{ 2500}{ \sqrt{100} } }[/tex]

=>      [tex]z = -1[/tex]    

Answer 2

From the desired test, we have that:

a)

The null hypothesis is: [tex]H_0: \mu \geq 30000[/tex]The alternative hypothesis is: [tex]H_1: \mu < 30000[/tex]

b) The t-statistic is t = -1.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the average starting salary for clerical employees in the state is not less than $30,000, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \geq 30000[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the salary is less than $30,000, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 30000[/tex]

Item b:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, thus, the t-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

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

The parameters are:

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

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 29750, \mu = 30000, s = 2500, n = 100[/tex]

Hence, the t-statistic is:

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

[tex]t = \frac{29750 - 30000}{\frac{2500}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -1[/tex]

The t-statistic is t = -1.

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon (98% iron, 2% carbon). Stainless steel is steel and chromium, (90% steel, 10% carbon). What amount of iron, carbon, and chromium are needed for 500 kg of stainless steel?

Answers

500 kg x 90% = 500x 0.9 = 450 kg of Steel is needed.

450 kg x 98% = 450 x 0.98 = 441 kg of iron needed.

450 x 0.02 = 9 kg of carbon is needed for the steel.

50 kg of chromium is needed.

Chromium is 10% carbon, 50x 0.1 = 5 kg of carbon is needed for the chromium.

Total iron = 441 kg

Total carbon = 9 + 5 = 14 kg

Total chromium = 50 kg

On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (negative 0, 0.5).
Step-by-step explanation:
h(x) = |x| + 0.5
Has its vertex at h(x) = 0, h(x) = |x| + 0.5
0 = |x| + 0.5
|x| = -0.5
So x = -0.5

Jenny bought a pair of shoes for $49.76 with a 30% off coupon. How much will she pay in total after 7% sales tax?



Answers

Answer: the final price is $37.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Always when we have an increase in a percentage X%, with an initial amount A, the new amount will be:

A + A*(X%/100%)

And for a decrease, the equation is_

A - A*(X%/100%)

Then if the initial price is $49.76, and there is a decrease of the 30%, the new price will be

$49.75 - (30%/100%)*$49.75 = $34.83

Now we have an increase of the 7% because of the IVA, then the final price is:

$34.83 + (7%/100%)*$34.83 = $37.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

This:

The angle of the triangle to our right, which is the third unequal angle = 180 - 2(31)

= 180 - 62

= 118°

The base angle of the triangle to our left = 180 - 118 (angles on a straight line)

= 62°

x = 180 - 2(62)

x = 180 - 124

135.05 ; 2.762 ; (133.201, 136.899) ; (132.840, 137.260)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Urban area Price/liter

St. John, NL 137.1

Halifax 133.6

Montreal 136.2

Regina 132.3

Saskatoon 132.2

Yellowknife 138.9

Mean = (137.1 + 133.6 + 136.2 + 132.3 + 132.2 + 138.9) / 6

= 810.3 / 6

= 135.05

Standard deviation (σ) : √Σ(X - mean)²/n-1

(137.1 - 135.05)^2 + (133.6 - 135.05)^2 + (136.2 - 135.05)^2 + (132.3 - 135.05)^2 + (132.2 - 135.05)^2+ (138.9 - 135.05)^2 = 38.135

√(38.135 / (6 - 1))

= √7.627

= 2.7617023

= 2.762

C.)

90% confidence interval of the mean :

Mean ± Zcrit * σ/√n

Zcrit at 90% = 1.64

135.05 ± 1.64 * (2.762/√6)

135.05 ± 1.64 * 1.1275817

Lower Value = (135.05 - (1.64 * 1.1275817)) = 133.201

Upper Value = (135.05 + (1.64 * 1.1275817))) = 136.899

Confidence interval = (133.201, 136.899)

D.)

95% confidence interval of the mean :

Mean ± Zcrit * σ/√n

Zcrit at 95% = 1.96

135.05 ± 1.96 * (2.762/6)

135.05 ± 1.96 * 1.1275817

Lower Value = (135.05 - (1.96 * 1.1275817)) = 132.840

Upper Value = (135.05 + (1.96 * 1.1275817)) = 137.260

Confidence interval = (132.840, 137.260)

What is the effect on the graph of f(x) = x2 when it is transformed to h(x) = 2 x2 + 15?

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect on the graph of f(x)=x² when it is transformed to h(x)=2x²+15 is the graph of f(x) is vertically streched by 2 and moved up by 15 unit.

How does the transformation of a function happen?

The transformation of a function may involve any change.

Usually, these can be shifted horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretched (multiplying outputs or inputs) etc.

If the original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:

Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):

Left shift by c units, y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)

Right shift by c units, y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)

Vertical shift

Up by d units: y = f(x) + d

Down by d units: y = f(x) - d

Stretching:

Vertical stretch by a factor k: y = k × f(x)

Horizontal stretch by a factor k: y = f(x/k)

Given two functions, f(x) and h(x). Also, the function f(x) = x² is transformed to form h(x) = 2x² + 15. Therefore, we can write the transformation as,

f(x) vertically streched by a factor of2  first, Therefore,

g(x) = 2f(x)

      = 2x²

Now, the function g(x) is moved up by 15 units, therefore,

h(x) = g(x) + 15

      = 2x² + 15

Hence, the effect on the graph of f(x)=x² when it is transformed to h(x)=2x²+15 is the graph of f(x) is vertically streched by 2 and moved up by 15 unit.

Bob needs to read 3 novels each month. Let N be the number of novels Bob needs to read in M months, Write an equation relating N to M. Then use this equation to find the number of novels Bob needs to read in 17 months.​

Answers

Answer:

Equation: n=3m; Bob needs to read 51 novels over 17 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of novels Bob needs to read (n) depends on the amount of months (m) we can say that n is the dependent variable and m is the independent. Since x is always independent and y is always independent we can say that m is going to stand for x and n is going to stand for y. Each month Bob reads 3 novels so we can write the equations as n=3m. To find out how many books he needs to read in 17 months plug it into the equation. n=3(17) -------------------> n=51

Suppose a publishing company estimates that its monthly cost is C(x) = 600{x^2} + 300xC(x)=600x 2 +300x and its monthly revenue is R(x) = - 0.4{x^3} + 700{x^2} - 600x + 500R(x)=−0.4x 3 +700x 2 −600x+500, where x is in thousands of books sold. The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost.

Answer:

the answer is A,

[tex]c(x) = 600x {}^{2} + 300x[/tex]

monthly revenue:

[tex]r(x) = - 0.4 {}^{3} + 700x {}^{2} - 600x + 500[/tex]

profit function:

[tex]p(x) = r(x) - c(x)[/tex]

[tex]p(x) = ( - 0.4x {}^{3} + 700 {x}^{2} - 600x + 500) - (600x {}^{2} + 300x)[/tex]

i) remove the first bracket

[tex]p(x) = - 0.4x {}^{3} + 700x {}^{2} - 600x + 500 - (600 {x}^{2} + 300x)[/tex]

ii) there is a negative sign, '-' in front of the second bracket. so, change the sign of each term of the expression inside the bracket

[tex]p(x) = - 0.4x {}^{3} + 700 {x}^{2} - 600x + 500 - 600x {}^{2} - 300x[/tex]

What is Proportional?

Any relationship that is always in the same ratio and quantity which vary directly with each other is called the proportional.

Given that;

⇒ p varies jointly as q and the cube of r.

Since, p varies jointly as q and the cube of r.

Hence, We can formulate;

⇒ p = k × q × r²

Where, k is constant of variation.

Here, p = 270 when q = 6 and r = 3.

Substitute all the values, we get;

⇒ p = k × q × r²

⇒ 270 = k × 6 × 3²

⇒ 270 = 54k

⇒ k = 270 / 54
