A drug company is considering marketing a new local anesthetic. The effective time of the anesthetic the drug company is currently producing has a normal distribution with a mean of 7.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. The chemistry of the new anesthetic is such that the effective time should be normally distributed with the same standard deviation, but the mean effective time may be lower. If it is lower, the drug company will market the new anesthetic; otherwise, they will continue to produce the older one. A sample size of 36 results in a sample mean of 7.1. A hypothesis test will be done to help make the decision. True or False: If the level of significance had been chosen as 0.05, the company would market the new anesthetic.

Answers

Answer 1

Testing the hypothesis using the z-distribution, it is found that the statement is False.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is still of 7.4 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 7.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is of less than 7.4 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 7.4[/tex]

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

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\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. [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are as follows: [tex]\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36[/tex].

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

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

[tex]z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.5[/tex]

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean of 7.1 or lower, which is the p-value of z = -1.5.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.5 has a p-value of 0.0668.

Since the p-value of the test is 0.0668 > 0.05, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the time is lower, hence the statement is False.

Howards baseball team won 7/10 of its game. Jeremys team won 2/5 of its game. They both played the same number of games. Whose team won more games, or did they win the same amount?

Answers

Answer:

Jeremy's team won more games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's transform these fractions into ratios:

[tex]\frac{7}{10} =7:10\\\\\frac{2}{5} =7:10[/tex]

Then, simplify:

[tex]7:10[/tex] ≈ [tex]1:1.4[/tex]

[tex]2:5=1:2.5[/tex]

Finally, compare:

[tex]1:1.4\neq 1:2.5[/tex]

Result:

Jeremy's team won more games since [tex]1:2.5>1:1.4[/tex]

Note:

The way I simplify the ratios may be confusing so here is a quick explanation;

Make the smaller of the two numbers in the ratio into one then divide the larger number by the smaller number for the other part of the ratio

Example:

5:10

5 turns into 1

10 divided by 5 equals 2

Simplified Ratio: 1:2

Jeremy won more games than Howard.

What is Fraction?

The fractional bar is a horizontal bar that divides the numerator and denominator of every fraction into these two halves.

The number of parts into which the whole has been divided is shown by the denominator. It is positioned in the fraction's lower portion, below the fractional bar.How many sections of the fraction are displayed or chosen is shown in the numerator. It is positioned above the fractional bar in the upper portion of the fraction.

Given:

Howard Team won = 7/10

Jeremy team won = 2/5

Now, taking LCM (5, 10)= 10

So, Jeremy team won = 2/5

                                     = 4/10

So, Jeremy won more games than Howard.

The recursive equation for f(n) will be f(n) = 4242.42(1.65)ⁿ - 1300n.

What is an exponent?

Let Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs,

a = initial amount, and r = fraction which this growth/decay occurs.

Lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 65%.

Then the equation will be

f(n) = P(1.65)ⁿ

P = initial population

A scientist estimates there are 7,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year.

7000 = P(1.65)

P = 4242.42

Then the equation will be,

f(n) = 4242.42(1.65)ⁿ

If scientists remove 1,300 fish per year from the bay after the first year.

Then the recursive equation for f(n) will be,

f(n) = 4242.42(1.65)ⁿ - 1300n

Suppose that Marlie had decided to apply for a private loan rather than a federal loan. She has

been offered a private loan for 10 years with an APR of 7.8%.

a. Determine her monthly payment.

b. What is the total amount she will pay back?

c. What is the total interest amount?

Answers

Using simple interest, and considering a loan of $5,000, it is found that:

a) Her monthly payment is of $74.17.

b) She will pay back $8,900.

c) The total interest amount is of $3,900.

The amount of money after t years in simple interest is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial amount. r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

The loan is of $5,000, hence [tex]A(0) = 5000[/tex].The APR is of 7.8%, hence [tex]r = 0.078[/tex]10 years, hence [tex]n = 10[/tex]

Item b:

[tex]A(10) = 5000[1 + 0.078(10)] = 8900[/tex]

She will pay back $8,900.

Item a:

$8,900 will be paid in 10 x 12 = 120 months, hence:

[tex]M = \frac{8900}{120} = 74.17[/tex]

Her monthly payment is of $74.17.

Item c:

Loan of $5,000, pays back $8,900, hence:

8900 - 5000 = 3,900

The total interest amount is of $3,900.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

these are both quadratic curves, parabolas, and factorization means to express the 2 terms as multiplication with each other, so that the result would be the simplified function. in other words : find the two factor terms that make the whole function.

the advantage of factorization is to see the 2 solutions for y=0 right away.

the general form is

y = (x + a)(x + b)

and the y=0 solutions are then simply x = -a and x = -b.

in example 3 we have 2 different y=0 solutions, seemingly at x = 1 and x = 5.

that makes the factorization :

y = (x - 1)(x - 5)

when x becomes one of these values, the corresponding factor becomes 0 and therefore y becomes 0 too.

in example 4 we have only one y=0 solution (or so it seems; in fact there are still formally 2 solutions, they are just equal).

it is seemingly at x = -2.

since both solutions are equal, we have also two equal factors.

that makes the factorization

y = (x + 2)(x + 2) = (x + 2)²

#if true interchange the Parameters and Recall the function

elif a == 0:

elif((a%2 == 0)and(b%2==0)):

#even numbers leave no remainder when divided by 2, checks if a and b are even

return 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
