Answer:
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean is significantly less than 5.4.
This result suggest we may be making a Type II error, where a true alternative hypothesis does not have enough evidence to be supported.
If the same outcome would have been obtained with a bigger sample size, the power of the test is bigger and there is a higher probability of rejecting the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.
The claim is that the population mean is significantly less than 5.4.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=5.4\\\\H_a:\mu< 5.4[/tex]
The significance level is 0.05.
The sample has a size n=44.
The sample mean is M=5.31.
As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.51.
The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.51}{\sqrt{44}}=0.077[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{5.31-5.4}{0.077}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.077}=-1.171[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=44-1=43[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, with 43 degrees of freedom and t=-1.171, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t<-1.171)=0.124[/tex]
As the P-value (0.124) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean is significantly less than 5.4.
This result suggest we may be making a Type II error, where a true alternative hypothesis does not have enough evidence to be supported.
If the same outcome would have been obtained with a bigger sample size, the power of the test is bigger and there is a higher probability of rejecting the null hypothesis.

A chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth. Because there might be variability from one bolt to another, the chemist decides to use a randomized block design, with the bolts of cloth considered as blocks. She selects five bolts and applies all four chemicals in random order to each bolt. The resulting tensile strengths follow. Analyze the data from this experiment (use α = 0.05) and draw appropriate conclusions.

We failed to reject H₀
We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a difference among the four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a chemist wishes to test the effect of four chemical agents on the strength of a particular type of cloth.
Since we are given data for four independent chemical agents to determine the effect on the strength of a particular type of cloth, therefore, a one-way analysis of variance may be used for the given problem.
ANOVA:
The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) may be used to find out whether there is any significant difference between the means of two or more independent categories of data.
Set up hypotheses:
Null hypotheses = H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄
Alternate hypotheses = H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ ≠ μ₃ ≠ μ₄
Set up decision rule:
We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α
OR
We Reject H₀ if F > F critical
ANOVA in Excel:
Step 1:
In the data tab, select data analysis
Step 2:
Select "Anova single factor" from the analysis tools
Step 3:
Select the destination of input data in the "input range"
Step 4:
Select "rows" for the option "Group By"
Step 5:
Tick the option "labels in first row"
Step 6:
Set alpha = 0.05
Step 7:
Select the destination of output data in the "output options"
Conclusion:
Please refer to the attached results.
The p-value is found to be
p = 0.7038
The F value is found to be
F = 0.475
The F critical value is found to be
F critical = 3.238
Since p > α
0.7038 > 0.05
We failed to reject H₀
Also since F < F critical
0.475 < 3.238
We failed to reject H₀

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line −2x+5y=−30.
Answer:
slope = 2/5 , y-intercept = -30
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 5y = -30
5y = 2x - 30
y = 2/5x - 6
we know that the general form is:
y = (slope)*x + (y- intercept)
so, from our equation, we can say that...
slope = 2/5
y- intercept = -30

g Steel used for water pipelines is often coated on the inside with cement mortar to prevent corrosion. In a study of the mortar coatings of the pipeline used in a water transmission project in California, researchers noted that the mortar thickness was specified to be 7/16 inch. A very large sample of thickness measurements produced a mean equal to 0.635 inch and astandard deviation equal to 0.082 inch. If the thickness measurements were normally distributed, approximately what proportion were less than 7/16 inch?
Answer:
[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:
[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the thickness of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(0.635,0.082)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=0.635[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.032[/tex]
We are interested on this probability
[tex]P(X<0.4375)[/tex]
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
[tex]P(X<0.4375)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.4375-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{0.4375-0.635}{0.082})=P(z<-2.41)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the z table and we got:
[tex]P(z<-2.41)=0.0080[/tex]

Answer:
The test statistic value is, t = -5.245.
The effect size using estimated Cohen's d is 2.35.
Step-by-step explanation:
A paired t-test would be used to determine whether the remedial tutoring has been effective for the statistics tutor's five students.
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The remedial tutoring has not been effective, i.e. d = 0.
Hₐ: The remedial tutoring has been effective, i.e. d > 0.
Use Excel to perform the Paired t test.
Go to Data → Data Analysis → t-test: Paired Two Sample Means
A dialog box will open.
Select the values of the variables accordingly.
The Excel output is attached below.
The test statistic value is, t = -5.245.
Compute the effect size using estimated Cohen's d as follows:
[tex]\text{Cohen's d}=\frac{Mean_{d}}{SD_{d}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.54}{0.23022}\\\\=2.34558\\\\\approx 2.35[/tex]
Thus, the effect size using estimated Cohen's d is 2.35.
A farmer is tracking the number of soybeans his land is yielding each year. He finds that the function f(x) = −x2 + 20x + 100 models the crops in pounds per acre over x years. Find and interpret the average rate of change from year 10 to year 20.
Answer:
The farmer should expect to LOSE 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=-x^2 + 20x + 100
just find how many soybeans his land will yield (per acre) after 10 and 20 years:
After 10: 200 pounds of soybeans/acre
After 20: 100 pounds of soybeans/acre
Because 10 years have passed and they lost 100 pounds of soybean production per acre, the farmer should expect to lose 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year (-10 pounds of soybeans per acre/year)

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (12, -2)? A) y = -6/5x + 10 B) y= -6/5x + 12 C) y = -5/6x -10 D) y = 5/6x - 12
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are those that have the same slope, or coefficient of x.
Here, let's calculate the slope of the given line. Slope is the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates, so given the two coordinates (12, 6) and (0, -4):
slope = m = (-4 - 6) / (0 - 12) = -10 / (-12) = 10/12 = 5/6
So the slope is 5/6. That means the equation we want should also have a slope of 5/6. Already, we can eliminate A, B, and C, leaving D as our answer. But, let's check.
The equation of a line can be written as [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the coordinates of a given point.
Here, our slope is 5/6 and our given point is (12, -2). So plug these in:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-(-2)=(5/6)(x-12)[/tex]
[tex]y+2=\frac{5}{6} x-10[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{5}{6} x-12[/tex]
This matches D, so we know that it's the correct answer.

Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines are parallel, their slopes are the same.
Since the slope of line l is 2/7, the slope of its parallel line m must also be 2/7.
The answer is C.
Answer:
C. 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are lines that have the same slopes.
We know that line l is parallel to line m.
Therefore, the slope of line l is equal to the slope of line m.
[tex]m_{l} =m_{m}[/tex]
We know that line l has a slope of 2/7.
[tex]\frac{2}{7} =m_{m}[/tex]
So, line m also has a slope of 2/7. The answer is C. 2/7

Answer:
[tex] P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)[/tex]
And replacing using the mass function we got:
[tex]P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156[/tex]
[tex]P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211[/tex]

[tex]P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172[/tex]
And adding the values we got:
[tex] P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
[tex]X \sim Binom(n=25, p=0.85)[/tex]
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]
We want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)[/tex]
And replacing using the mass function we got:
[tex]P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156[/tex]
[tex]P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211[/tex]
[tex]P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217[/tex]
[tex]P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161[/tex]
[tex]P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759[/tex]
[tex]P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172[/tex]

A school is 16km due west of a school q.
What is the bearing of q from p?
Answer:
16 km due west
Step-by-step explanation:
The bearing of the school p from school q is 16 km due west.
To find the bearing of school q from school p, we have to find the direction that the school q is with respect to school p.
Since p is directly west of q, then it implies that q must be directly east of p.
We now know the direction.
Since the distance from q to p is exactly the same as the distance from p to q, then, the distance from p to q is 16 km.
Hence, the bearing of q from p is 16 km due west.

Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (−5, 9). y = −5 y = 9 x = −5 x = 9
Answer:
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are trying to find a horizontal line, our line would have to be y = [a number]. That takes our x = -5 and x = 9 out as answer choices. We are left with y = -5 and y = 9. y = 9 is correct because the horizontal line is the y-values, and since in (-5, 9), our y-value is 9, our line is y = 9.

If Brooklyn College students have an IQ of 100, on average, with a standard deviation of 16 points, and I collect 48 BC Psychology students to see how Psych majors compare to all of BC, find the following:_______.
1. mu =
2. sigma =
3. mu _x bar =
4. sigma _x bar =
Answer:
1 [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]
2 [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]
3 [tex]\mu_x = 100[/tex]
4 [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 2.309[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 16[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\mu_x = 100[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 48[/tex]
The mean standard deviation is [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{16 }{\sqrt{48} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 2.309[/tex]
Find a parabola with equation y = ax2 + bx + c that has slope 5 at x = 1, slope −11 at x = −1, and passes through the point (2, 18).
By "slope" I assume you mean slope of the tangent line to the parabola.
For any given value of x, the slope of the tangent to the parabola is equal to the derivative of y :
[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c\implies y'=2ax+b[/tex]
The slope at x = 1 is 5:
[tex]2a+b=5[/tex]
The slope at x = -1 is -11:
[tex]-2a+b=-11[/tex]
We can already solve for a and b :
[tex]\begin{cases}2a+b=5\\-2a+b=-11\end{cases}\implies 2b=-6\implies b=-3[/tex]
[tex]2a-3=5\implies 2a=8\implies a=4[/tex]
Finally, the parabola passes through the point (2, 18); that is, the quadratic takes on a value of 18 when x = 2:
[tex]4a+2b+c=18\implies2(2a+b)+c=10+c=18\implies c=8[/tex]
So the parabola has equation
[tex]\boxed{y=4x^2-3x+8}[/tex]
Using function concepts, it is found that the parabola is: [tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + 14[/tex]
----------------------------
The parabola is given by:
[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
----------------------------
Slope 5 at x = 1 means that [tex]y^{\prime}(1) = 5[/tex], thus:
[tex]y^{\prime}(x) = 2ax + b[/tex]
[tex]y^{\prime}(1) = 2a + b[/tex]
[tex]2a + b = 5[/tex]
----------------------------
Slope -11 at x = -1 means that [tex]y^{\prime}(-1) = -11[/tex], thus:
[tex]-2a + b = -11[/tex]
Adding the two equations:
[tex]2a - 2a + b + b = 5 - 11[/tex]
[tex]2b = -6[/tex]
[tex]b = -\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
[tex]b = -3[/tex]
And
[tex]2a - 3 = 5[/tex]
[tex]2a = 8[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]a = 4[/tex]
Thus, the parabola is:
[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + c[/tex]
----------------------------
It passes through the point (2, 18), which meas that when [tex]x = 2, y = 18[/tex], and we use it to find c.
[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + c[/tex]
[tex]18 = 4(2)^2 - 3(4) + c[/tex]
[tex]c + 4 = 18[/tex]
[tex]c = 14[/tex]
Thus:
[tex]y = 4x^2 - 3x + 14[/tex]

Compute the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by 2 that corresponds to a 86% level of confidence.
Answer:
z = 1.476
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.86}{2} = 0.07[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.07 = 0.93[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.476[/tex]
The answer is z = 1.476
The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 3639 3639 miles, with a variance of 145,161 145,161 . If he is correct, what is the probability that the mean of a sample of 41 41 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 126 126 miles
Answer:
96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
A reminder is that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this question:
[tex]\mu = 3639, \sigma = \sqrt{145161} = 381, n = 41, s = \frac{381}{\sqrt{41}} = 59.5[/tex]
Probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 + 126 = 3765 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3639 - 126 = 3513. So
X = 3765
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{3765 - 3639}{59.5}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.12[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.12[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.983
X = 3513
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{3513 - 3639}{59.5}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.12[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.12[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.017
0.983 - 0.017 = 0.966
96.6% probability that the mean of a sample would differ from the population mean by less than 126 miles
