The concentration of active ingredient in a liquid laundry detergent is thought to be affected by the type of catalyst used in the process. The standard deviation of active concentration is known to be 3 grams per liter regardless of the catalyst type. Ten observations on concentration are taken with each catalyst, and the data follow:

Catalyst 1: 57.9, 66.2, 65.4, 65.4, 65.2, 62.6, 67.6, 63.7, 67.2, 71.0
Catalyst 2: 66.4, 71.7, 70.3, 69.3, 64.8, 69.6, 68.6, 69.4, 65.3, 68.8.

a. Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean active concentrations for the two catalysts. Find the P-value.
b. Is there any evidence to indicate that the mean active concentrations depend on the choice of catalyst? Base your answer on the results of part (a).
c. Suppose that the true mean difference in active concentration is 5 grams per liter. What is the power of the test to detect this difference if α = 0.05?
d. If this difference of 5 grams per liter is really important, do you consider the sample sizes used by the experimenter to be adequate? Does the assumption of normality seem reasonable for both samples?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The 95% C.I. is approximately -5.83 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -0.57

b. Yes

c. The power of the test is 0.03836

d. The sample size can be considered adequate

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given data in the study

Catalyst 1: 57.9, 66.2, 65.4, 65.4, 65.2, 62.6, 67.6, 63.7, 67.2, 71.0

Catalyst 2: 66.4 , 71.7, 70.3, 69.3, 64.8, 69.6, 68.6, 69.4, 65.3, 68.8

Using the Average, Standard Deviation function from Microsoft Excel, we have;

The mean for Catalyst 1, [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] = 65.22

The standard deviation for catalyst 1, σ₁ = 3.444416

The mean for Catalyst 2, [tex]\overline x_2[/tex] = 68.42

The standard deviation for catalyst 2, σ₂ = 2.22401

The 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean is given as follows;

[tex]\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} \right ) \pm z_{c}\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}} + \dfrac{\sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

The critical-z for a 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\left (65.22-68.42 \right ) \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2}}{10} + \dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

The 95% C.I. is approximately -5.83 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -0.57

The test statistics is given as follows;

[tex]z=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}[/tex]

Therefore we have;

[tex]z=\dfrac{(65.22-68.42)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2} }{10}+\dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}} = -2.385[/tex]

The p-value = P(Z<-2.39 or Z > 2.39) = 2P(Z<-2.39) = 2 × 0.00842 = 0.01684

b. From the confidence interval which range from approximately -5.83 to -0.57 and does not include 0, therefore, there is a difference in mean active concentration which depends on the choice of catalyst

c. The power of the test

 The sample mean difference is given as follows;

[tex]\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} \right ) = \pm z_{c}\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}} + \dfrac{\sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} \right ) = \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2}}{10} + \dfrac{3^{2}}{10}} = \pm 2.6296[/tex]

The z-value is given as follows;

[tex]z=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})-(\mu_{1}-\mu _{2} )}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}[/tex]

μ₁ - μ₂ = 5

When [tex]\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} = 2.6296[/tex]

[tex]z=\dfrac{2.6296-5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2} }{10}-\dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}} \approx -1.7667918[/tex]

When [tex]\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2} = -2.6296[/tex]

[tex]z=\dfrac{-2.6296-5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{3^{2} }{10}-\dfrac{3^{2}}{10}}} \approx -5.686768[/tex]

The power of the test is given by P = P(Z<-5.69) + P(Z>-1.77) = 0 + 0.03836 = 0.03836

The power of the test = 0.03836

d. The sample size is statistically adequate because the confidence interval of -5.83 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -0.57 has a value of -5 as a possible population difference in mean

The assumption of normality seems adequate because the confidence interval obtained by using the sample standard deviation is given as follows;

(-5.74, -0.66) which also contains -5 which is the difference in the population mean

which fraction is the least 2/4, 5/10, 2/5, 3/4​

Answers

Answer:

2/5 or the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two are 1/2 after they are simplified and the second two are just below or just above one half, the last one is above and the third one is below.

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert all fractions to have a common denominator

4, 10, and 5 can all be multiplied to equal 20

As a result, we will use 20 for the common denominator

What multiplied by 4 equals 20? 5 × 4 = 20

What multiplied by 10 equals 20? 2 × 10 = 20

What multiplied by 5 equals 20? 4 × 5 = 20

If we multiply this to the denominator, we must also multiply the same number to the numerator

Starting from left to right:

2 × 5 / 4 × 5 = 10/20

5 × 2 / 10 × 2 = 10/20

2 × 4 / 5 × 4 = 8/20

3 × 5 / 4 × 5 = 15/20

Compare: 10/20, 10/20, 8/20, 15/20

Which fraction has the smallest numerator?

8/20 as 8 is less than 15 and 10

complete question

study by Allstate Insurance Co. finds that 82% of teenagers have used cell phones while driving ( The Wall Street Journal , May 5, 2010). In October 2010, Massachusetts enacted a law that forbids cell phone use by drivers under the age of 18. A policy analyst would like to determine whether the law has decreased the proportion of drivers under the age of 18 who use a cell phone.a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses to test the policy analyst’s objective.

b. Suppose a sample of 200 drivers under the age of 18 results in 150 who still use a cell phone while driving. What is the value of the test statistic? What is the p-value?c. At α = 0.05 has the law been effective?

d. Repeat this exercise using the critical value approach with α = 0.05

Answer:

1. H0: p>=0.82

H1: p<0.82

2. z test statistic = -2.5767

3. the law has been effective

4. the null is rejected, the law has been effective

Step-by-step explanation:

1. hypothesis formulation

H0: p>= 0.82

H1: p< 0.82

2. p = 82% = 0.82

estimated p^ = x/n = 150/200 = 0.75

standard error calculation:

= √0.82(1-0.82)/200

= √0.82x0.18/200

= √0.02716615

Z test statistic calculation:

= 0.75-0.82/0.02716615

= -2.5767

3. this test is 1 tailed

the p-value using a p value calculator is = 0.004983

0.004983 < 0.05 so we Reject null and conclude that the law has been effective.

4. we Reject null at 0.05 if z is less than -1.645.

-2.5767<-1.645 so we Reject H0 and conclude law has been effective and there is a decrease in drivers under this age who use cell phones

Question : What is the value of the test statistic

answer : = 5.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean value = 90 minutes

std = 15 minutes

Calculate the test statistic

mean value  of given data = ∑ x / n = 105.7

since the value of standard deviation is given we will assume a normal distribution

Hence we will apply  z test statistics

z = mean value of given data - Mean value / 15 √30

   = ( 105.7 - 90 )  / 15 √30

  = 5.73

Solve the triangle. A = 46°, a = 31, b = 27

Answers

Answer:

A=46 degrees, B=33.4 degrees, C=100.6 degrees

a=34, b=27, c=48.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a/sin(A)) = (b/sin(B)) = (c/sin(C))

we are given

(34/sin(46)) = (27/sin(B))

34sin(B) = 26sin(46)

34sin(B) = 18.702834809

sin(B) = 0.550083377

note use inverse sin function to find angle B

B = 33.372733167 approx 33.4 degrees then

C = 180 - (46 + 33.4) = 100.6

Then, (b/sin(B)) = (c/sin(C))

27/0.550083377 = c/0.982935349

0.550083377 * c = 27 * 0.982935349

0.550083377 * c = 26.539254427

c = 48.245876056 approx 48.2 .

Lastly, you get: A=46 degrees, B=33.4 degrees, C=100.6 degrees

a=34, b=27, c=48.2

he response times for a random sample of 40 medical emergencies were tabulated. The sample mean is 13.25 minutes. The population standard deviation is believed to be 3.2 minutes. The EMS director wants to perform a hypothesis test, with a .05 level of significance, to determine whether the service goal of 12 minutes or less is being achieved.

Answers

Answer:

The calculated value Z = 2.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

The null hypothesis is rejected

The Alternative hypothesis is rejected

The EMS director wants to service goal of 12 minutes or less is being achieved

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the size of the random sample = 40

Given that the mean of the sample (x ⁻) = 13.25

Given that the standard deviation of the Population = 3.2 minutes

Level of significance = 0.05

The mean of the Population (μ) = 12

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis:-H₀: (μ) = 12

Alternative Hypothesis: H₁ : μ < 12

Test statistic

                  [tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

                  [tex]Z = \frac{13.25-12 }{\frac{3.2}{\sqrt{40} } }[/tex]

                  Z = 2.5

The tabulated value Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96

The calculated value Z = 2.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

The null hypothesis is rejected

The Alternative hypothesis is rejected

Final answer:-

The EMS director wants to service goal of 12 minutes or less is being achieved

a. Which is a better value? Explain.
b. If Enzo needs 18 pounds of sand, what should he buy so that
he spends the least amount of money overall? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

A: 6 kilo bag B: He should buy two 10 pound bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brainliest?

The 6-kilogram pack of sand for $20 is a better value. Then the amount of money for 18 pounds of sand will be $27.18.

What is the rate?

The rate is the ratio of the amount of something to the unit.

For example - If the speed of the car is 20 km/h which means the car travels 20 km in one hour.

Enzo requirements to get some sand for his sandbox. He can either purchase a 10-pound sack of sand for $18 or a 6-kilogram pack of sand for $20.

The rate in the first case is written as,

⇒ 18/10

⇒ $1.8 per pound

The rate in the second case is written as,

⇒ 20/6

⇒ $3.33 per kilogram

⇒ $1.51 per pound

The 6-kilogram pack of sand for $20 is a better value.

Then the amount of money for 18 pounds of sand will be given as,

⇒ $1.51 x 18

⇒ $27.18

Thus, the amount of money for 18 pounds of sand will be $27.18.
