Answer:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 6[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 6[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]t=\frac{6.178-6}{\frac{0.68}{\sqrt{26}}}=1.335[/tex]
[tex]p_v =P(t_{25}>1.335)=0.097[/tex]
And for this case the p value is higher than the significance level so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is at most 6 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
[tex]\bar X=370.69/60 =6.178[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]s=24.36/36=0.68[/tex] represent the standard deviation for the sample
[tex]n=26[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =6[/tex] represent the value to verify
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
System of hypothesis
We want to test if the true mean is at least 6 minutes, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 6[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 6[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]t=\frac{6.178-6}{\frac{0.68}{\sqrt{26}}}=1.335[/tex]
The degrees of freedom are:
[tex]df=n-1=26-1=25[/tex]
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(t_{25}>1.335)=0.097[/tex]
And for this case the p value is higher than the significance level so then we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is at most 6 minutes.

Find the population mean or sample mean as indicated.
Sample: 17, 11, 8, 12, 22
Answer:
mean:12
Step-by-step explanation:
The population mean or sample mean as indicated in the given samples is 14
What is mean?A mean in math is the average of a data set, found by adding all numbers together and then dividing the sum of the numbers by the number of numbers.
Mathematically,
Mean = Sum of the observations/number of observations
Now the given sample is,
17, 11, 8, 12, 22
So, Number of sample = 5
Thus, Mean = Sum of the sample /number of sample
Mean = (17 + 11 + 8 + 12 + 22) / 5
⇒ Mean = 70/5
⇒ Mean = 14
Thus, the population mean or sample mean as indicated in the given samples is 14

Tiffany is 140 miles away from Maggie. They are traveling towards each other. If Maggie travels 5 mph faster than Tiffany and they meet after 4 hours how fast was each traveling
Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.
Simplify the equation.
(x+5) + x = 35 Divide both sides by 4
2x+5 = 35 Combine like terms
2x = 30 Subtract 5 from both sides
x = 15 Divide both sides by 2
Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.
Excell Computers promptly shipped two servers to its biggest client. The company profits RM5,000 on each one of these big systems. The shipping worker randomly selected the system without replacement that were delivered from 15 computers in stock. The system contain 4 refurbished computer, with 11 new computers in the warehouse.
If the client gets two new computers, Excell earns RM10,000 profit. If the client gets a refurbished computer, it’s coming back for replacement and Excell must pay the RM400 shipping fee, with leaves RM9,600 profit. If both computers shipped are refurbished, consequently the client will return both and cancel the order. As a result, Excell will be out any profit and left with RM8,000 in shipping cost. Let X be a random variable for the amount of the profit earned on the order.
Answer:
$9215.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Number of Computers=15
Number of New=11
Number of Refurbished Computers=4
P(New)=11/15P(Refurbished)=4/15[tex]P(NN)=\frac{11}{15} \times \frac{10}{14} = \frac{11}{21}\\P(NR)=\frac{11}{15} \times \frac{4}{14} = \frac{22}{105}\\P(RN)=\frac{4}{15} \times \frac{11}{14} = \frac{22}{105}\\P(RR)=\frac{4}{15} \times \frac{3}{14} = \frac{2}{35}[/tex]
The probability of one new and one refurbished =P(NR)+P(RN)
[tex]=\frac{22}{105}+ \frac{22}{105}\\=\frac{44}{105}[/tex]
Let X be the amount of profit earned on the purchase. The probability distribution of X is given as:
[tex]\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c|c|c}$Profit(X)& NN=\$10000 &NR=\$9600& RR=-\$800\\$P(X)&\dfrac{11}{21}&\dfrac{44}{105}&\dfrac{2}{35}\end{array}\right|[/tex]

Hitchhiker Snails A type of small snail is very widespread in Japan, and colonies of the snails that are genetically similar have been found very far apart. Scientists wondered how the snails could travel such long distances. A recent study1 provides the answer. Biologist Shinichiro Wada fed live snails to birds and found that of the snails were excreted live out the other end. The snails apparently are able to seal their shells shut to keep the digestive fluids from getting in.
What is the best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird?
Answer: 0.149
Step-by-step explanation:
As Scientists wondered how the snails could travel such long distances. A recent study provides the answer. Biologist Shinichiro Wada fed 174 live snails to birds and found that 26 of the snails were excreted live out the other end.
The best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird can be achieved by calculating the ratio of survival/number of eaten snails
Where the number of eaten snails = 174
The number of survivors = 26
Estimated proportion = 26/174 = 0.1494
Therefore, the best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird will be 0.149 approximately.

A. 0.0340
B. 0.0171
C. 04681
D. 0.2119
Answer: B. 0.0171
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
A cola manufacturer invited consumers to take a blind taste test. Consumers were asked to decide which of two sodas they preferred. The manufacturer was also interested in what factors played a role in taste preferences. Below is a printout comparing the taste preferences of men and women.
HYPOTHESIS: PROP. X = PROP. Y
SAMPLES SELECTED FROM soda(brand1,brand2)
males (sex=0, males) (NUMBER = 115)
females (sex=1, females) (NUMBER = 56)
X = males
Y = females
SAMPLE PROPORTION OF X = 0.422018
SAMPLE SIZE OF X = 109
SAMPLE PROPORTION OF Y = 0.25
SAMPLE SIZE OF Y = 52
PROPORTION X - PROPORTION Y = 0.172018
Z = 2.11825
Suppose the manufacturer wanted to test to determine if the males preferred its brand more than the females. Using the test statistic given, for a one-sided test, compute the appropriate p-value for the test.
Solution:
Looking at the statement, "Suppose the manufacturer wanted to test to determine if the males preferred its brand more than the females", it shows that it is a right tailed test. Since the test statistic is already known, we would find the probability value for the area above the test statistic or z score from the normal distribution table. From the table,
p value = 0.983
The required p value above the z score is
1 - 0.983 = 0.0171
the appropriate p-value for the test is 0.0171
Borland, Inc., has a profit margin of 5.6 percent on sales of $13.6 million. If the firm has debt of $6.4 million and total assets of $9.8 million, what is the firm’s ROA?
Answer:
ROA = 7.77 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
Borland, Inc., has a profit margin of 5.6 percent on sales of $13.6 million
Thus, profit = 5.6% of $13.6 million
profit = 5.6 / 100 * $13.6 million = $0.7616 million
Profit is same as net income
Formula for ROA (return on asset) = net income/ total asset
total asset as given = $9.8 million
Thus, ROA = $0.7616/ $9.8 = 0.0777
ROA in percentage = 0.0777*100 = 7.77
Thus, ROA is 7.77 percent .

g Brian Vanecek, VP of Operations at Portland Trust Bank, is evaluating the service level provided to walk-in customers. Accordingly, his staff recorded the waiting times for 64 randomly selected walk-in customers, and determined that their mean waiting time was 15 minutes and that the standard deviation was 4 minutes. The 88% confidence interval for the population mean of waiting times is __________.
Answer:
The 88% confidence interval for the population mean of waiting times is between 7.34 minutes and 22.66 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 64 - 1 = 63
88% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 63 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.88}{2} = 0.94[/tex]. So we have T = 1.9153
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 1.9153*4 = 7.66.
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 15 - 7.66 = 7.34 minutes
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 15 + 7.66 = 22.66 minutes.
The 88% confidence interval for the population mean of waiting times is between 7.34 minutes and 22.66 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: The ratio from planet A to B is 100 to 3. If an elephant weight 2100 is planet a, then we are multiplying 21 to hundred. Whatever you do on the left side you have to do it on the right side and if you multiply 21 and 3 on the right side then you get 63.
Answer:
63 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio for Planet A to Planet B is
100 : 3
Creating a proportionality with the unknown as x

a. 0.4
b. 0
c. -0.4
d. 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of y = tan x is shown. We need to find what y equals when x = 0 (because in y = tan 0, x is replaced with 0)
So you can either find where x = 0 on the graph, or you can take the tangent of 0 to find your answer.
The value of the trigonometric function [tex]y = \tan x[/tex] at (x = 0) is 0 and this can be determined by using the given graph.
Given :
The graph of [tex]y = \tan x[/tex].
The following steps can be used to determine the value of [tex]y = \tan 0[/tex] :
Step 1 - The graph of the trigonometric function [tex]y = \tan x[/tex] is given.
Step 2 - According to the given graph, at (x = 0) the value of y is also 0.
Step 3 - So, the value of the trigonometric function [tex]y = \tan x[/tex] at (x = 0) is:
[tex]y = \tan 0[/tex]
[tex]y = 0[/tex]
The value of the trigonometric function [tex]y = \tan x[/tex] at (x = 0) is 0.

y = 9/2 - 8/31
y =203/62
the value of x = 8/31
y = 203/62
In the United States, the mean and standard deviation of adult men's heights are 70 inches (5 feet 10 inches) and 4 inches, respectively. Suppose the American adult men's heights have a normal distribution Whe probability that a randomly chosen American man is taller than 6 feet (72 inches) is equal to:___________. (round off to fourth decimal place, use the given table)
a. 0.6853
b. 0.0062
c. 0.3085
d.0.6915
e. None of these
Answer:
[tex]P(X>72)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{72-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{72-70}{4})=P(z>0.5)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table:
[tex]P(z>0.5)=1-P(z<0.5)= 1- 0.69146= 0.3085[/tex]
And the best solution would be:
c. 0.3085
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can convert all the values to inches in order to standardize the solution:
[tex] 5ft * \frac{12 in}{1ft}= 60 in[/tex]
[tex] 6ft * \frac{12 in}{1ft}= 72 in[/tex]
Let X the random variable that represent the heights of US mens, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(70,4)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=70[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=4[/tex]
We are interested on this probability
[tex]P(X>72)[/tex]
We can use the z score formula given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Using this formula we got:
[tex]P(X>72)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{72-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{72-70}{4})=P(z>0.5)[/tex]
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table:
[tex]P(z>0.5)=1-P(z<0.5)= 1- 0.69146= 0.3085[/tex]
And the best solution would be:
c. 0.3085
Using the normal distribution, it is found that the probability that a randomly chosen American man is taller than 6 feet (72 inches) is equal to:
c. 0.3085
In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
It 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, which is the percentile of X.In this problem:
Mean of 70 inches, thus [tex]\mu = 70[/tex].Standard deviation of 4 inches, thus [tex]\sigma = 4[/tex].The probability of being taller than 72 inches is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72, thus:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{72 - 70}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6915.
1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

Commercials plus movies for the Year = 9
She earned total of $500
X+ y = 9..... equation 1
40x + 110y = 500.... Equation 2
Multipling equation one by 40
40x + 40y = 360
Subtracting equation one from equation 2
70y = 140
Y = 2
If y = 2
X + y = 9
X + 2 = 9
X = 9-2
X = 7
You have already a 1000 cash on your hand. You have also a 1000 cash in bank and you withdraw half of 500, so, it means you withdraw 250. Now, you have a 1000 cash on hand plus 250 that you have been withdraw from the bank, all in all you have 1250 now in your hand.
Answer: At the end, you have $750 remaining in the bank.

Hand: $1000 + $250 = $1250
Bank: $1000 - $250 = $750
Please help me with this question!!!
Answer:
θ = ±2π/3 +2kπ . . . . . for any integer k
Step-by-step explanation:
2·cos(θ) +1 = 0
cos(θ) = -1/2 . . . . . subtract 1, divide by 2
The cosine function has the value -1/2 for θ = ±2π/3 and any integer multiple of 2π added to that.
θ = ±2π/3 +2kπ . . . . . for any integer k
