A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m. A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions. A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m. Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m. Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 0.7[/tex]

A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions.

Hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m, which means that the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{a}: \mu \neq 0.7[/tex]

The test statistic is:

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

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

0.7 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.7[/tex]

A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m.

This means, respectively, that [tex]n = 43, X = 0.65[/tex]

Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.65 - 0.7}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.64[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

Since we are testing that the mean is different of a value, and z is negative, the pvalue of the test is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -1.64

z = -1.64 has a pvalue of 0.0505

2*0.0505 = 0.101

Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m.

0.101 > 0.01, which means that we accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average of the set of the data in which two or more numbers are present. The mean is used to summarized the data set as the calculation of the mean includes all the values given in the data set. The mean value of the given data set is 4.

Given information

The given numbers of the data set are,

4,5,5,2,3,3,2,8

Total numbers are 8.

Mean

Mean is the average of the set of the data in which two or more numbers are present. The mean is used to summarized the data set as the calculation of the mean includes all the values given in the data set.

Mean is the ratio of the sum of all the terms of the set to the the number of terms in the set.

The mean can be calculated with the following formula,

[tex]\overline x=\dfrac{\sum x}{N} [/tex]

Here N is the total number of the values in the set.

Put the values in the above formula,

[tex]\overline x=\dfrac{4+5+5+2+3+3+2+8}{8} \\ \overline x=\dfrac{32}{8}\\ \overline x=4[/tex]

Hence the mean value of the given data set is 4.

Hugo averages 32 home runs per season with a standard deviation of 2.5. Jacob averages 27 home runs per season with a standard deviation of 1.6. Last season Hugo hit 36 home runs and Jacob hit 31 home runs. Who had more home runs relative to their usual seasonal average? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Jacob had more home runs relative to his usual season average than Hugo did.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key solving this is to express their respective home runs in z-value forms.

Z = (x - ų)/óx

X = Current home runs

Ų = Mean

= Meanóx = Standard deviation

For Hugo,

X = Current home run = 31

Ų = Mean = 27

Óx = Stardard deviation = 1.6

Z = (x - ų)/óx

Z = (31 - 27)/1.6 = 2.5

Hope this helped!!!

The person who had more home runs relative to their usual seasonal average was Jacob.

Calculations and Parameters:

Representing their home runs in z-value forms.

Where

Z = (x - ų)/óxX = Current home runsŲ = Mean

= Meanóx = Standard deviation

To find the home run for Hugo,

X = Current home run = 31Ų = Mean = 27Óx = Stardard deviation = 1.6

Therefore,

Z = (x - ų)/óx

Z = (31 - 27)/1.6

= 2.5

Hence, Jacob had the most home runs relative to their usual seasonal average.

11 + 13 > 25 It is a triangle

11² + 13² = 25²

121 + 169 = 625

290 ≠ 625

Since hypotenuse is larger, the triangle is obtuse

4)

21 + 28 > 35 It is a triangle

21² + 28² = 35²

441 + 784 = 1225

1225 = 1225

Since the hypotenuse is equal to the legs, it's a Right triangle

An ecologist is examining whether the number of fish caught in a large river basin has changed since a fire burned some of the surrounding forested area and vegetation along the river. Data in the form of fishing reports was available for a five-year period before the fire. From a random sample of 195 fishing reports before the fire, the mean catch was 6.3 fish with a standard deviation of 1.6. In a random sample of 143 reports three years after the fire, the mean catch was 7.1 fish with a standard deviation of 2.1.

Required:
What represents the standard error of the difference in the mean number of fish caught before and after the fire?

Answers

Answer:

The standard error of the difference in the mean number of fish caught before and after the fire is 0.2153.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract two normal variables, the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of variances of each variable.

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.

Sample of 195 fishing reports before the fire, the mean catch was 6.3 fish with a standard deviation of 1.6.

The standard error for this sample is:

[tex]s_b = \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{195}} = 0.1246[/tex]

Sample of 143 reports three years after the fire, the mean catch was 7.1 fish with a standard deviation of 2.1.

The standard deviation for this sample is:

[tex]s_a = \frac{2.1}{\sqrt{143}} = 0.1756[/tex]

What represents the standard error of the difference in the mean number of fish caught before and after the fire?

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_a^2 + s_b^2} = \sqrt{0.1756^2 + 0.1246^2} = 0.2153[/tex]

The standard error of the difference in the mean number of fish caught before and after the fire is 0.2153.

Answer:

sqrt [ (1.6^2)/195 + (2.1^2)/143 ]

In a lumberjack competition, a contestant is blindfolded and then spun around 9 times. The contestant then immediately tries to hit a single point (the target) in the middle of a horizontal log with an axe (while still blindfolded). The contestant receives

15 points if their swing is within 3cm of the target.
10 points if their swing is between 3cm and 10cm of the target.
5 points if their swing is between 10cm and 20cm of the target
zero points if their swing is further away from the target (and someone may lose a finger!).

Let Y record the position of the hit, so that Y = y > 0 corresponds to missing the target point to the right by y cm and Y = - y < 0 corresponds to missing the target to the left by y cm. Assume that Y is normally distributed with mean mu = 0 and variance 100 cm^2. Find the expected number of points that the contestant wins.

Answers

Answer:

9.364 is the expected number of points.

we can approximate this to 10 points if we want a whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these variables:

[0,5,10,15]

P(x= 0) = p(y>20)+p(y<-20) = 2p(y>20)

P(x=5) = p(-20<=y<=10)+p(10<=y<=20) = 2p(10<=y<=20)

P(x=10) = p(-10<=y<=-3)+p(3<=y<=10) = 2p(3<=y<=10)

P(x=15) = p(-3<=y<=3) = 2p(0<=y<=3)

Z = y/10

Therefore

P(x= 0) = 2(y>20)

= 2p(z>2) = 2(1-p<=2)

= 2(1-0.9772)

= 0.0456

P(x= 5)

= 2p(10<=y<=20)

= 2p(1<=z<=2)

= 2(0.9772-0.8413)

= 0.2718

P(x= 10)

= 2p(3<=y<=10)

= 2p(0.3<=z<=1)

= 2(0.8413-0.6179)

= 0.4468

P(x = 15)

= P(0.6179-0.3821)

= 0.2358

To get expected value of Y

0(0.0456)+5(0.2718)+10(0.4468)+15(0.2358)

= 1.359 + 4.468 + 3.537

= 9.364
