Lester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the last six months. Below are the results. At the .05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined? Estimate the p-value.

Answer 1

Answer:

t >± 1.895

t= 0.1705

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypotheses are

H0: μd=0 Ha: μd>0

Significance level is set at ∝= 0.05

The critical region for  t  df=7       t >± 1.895

The test statistic under H0 is

t = d/ sd/ √n

Which has t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom

Employee        After  Before         d = after - before        d²

1                          6         5               1                                  1

2                         6          2               4                               16

3                         7          1                6                               36

4                         7           3              4                               16

5                         4          3              1                                 1

6                         3          6              -3                               9

7                         5          3              2                               4

8                          6        7               -1                                1      

∑                                                    14                              84    

d`= ∑d/n= 14/8= 1.75

sd²= 1/8( 84- 14²/8) = 1/8 ( 84 - 24.5) = 59.5

sd= 7.7136

t= 3/ 7.7136/ √8

t= 0.1705

Since the calculated value of t= 0.1705 < ± 1.895  therefore reject the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we cannot conclude that the number of absences has declined.

How long will it take for a lump-sum investment to double in value at an interest rate of 1.5% per month, compounded continuously

Answers

Answer:

It will take 47 months ( 3 years and 11 months)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the compound interest formula here.

Mathematically;

A = P( 1 + r)^t

Where A is the amount which is 2 times the principal here, so we can call it 2P

P is the lump-sum invested

r is the monthly interest rate given as 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015

t = time , which we want to calculate

Substituting these values, we have;

2P = P(1 + 0.015)^t

divide both sides by P

2 = 1.015^t

Take the log of both sides;

log 2 = log (1.015)^t

log 2 = t log 1.015

t = log2/log1.015

t = 46.55

which is approximately 47 months

Solve the equation 3(2x + 2) = 3x − 15.

Answers

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with:

3(2x + 2) = 3x - 15

Begin by distributing '3' with the terms inside of the parenthesis:

3(2x) + 3(2) = 3x - 15

Simplify:

6x + 6 = 3x - 15

Isolate the variable by subtracting '3x' from both sides:

6x - 3x + 6 = 3x - 3x - 15

3x + 6 = -15

Subtract 6 from both sides:

3x + 6 - 6 = -15 - 6

3x = -21

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = -21/3

x = -7.

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+2) = 3x - 15

First, we should simplify on the left side.

6x + 6 = 3x - 15 ; Now we subtract six from both sides.

      -6          -6

6x = 3x - 21 ; next we just subtract 3x from both sides.

-3x   -3x

3x = -21

Finally, we divide 3 from both sides to separate the three from the x.

x = -7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

11q + 5 ≤ 49

Subtract 5 from each side

11q + 5-5 ≤ 49-5

11q ≤44

Divide each side by 11

q ≤44/11

q≤4

There is a close circle at 4 because of the equals sign and the lines goes to the left

Answer:

B

Step 1:

To solve this, we need to isolate the variable q. To do so, we will subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.

[tex]11q+5(-5)\leq 49(-5)\\11q\leq 44[/tex]

Step 2:

We divide both sides by 11 to get our q.

[tex]\frac{11q}{11}\leq \frac{44}{11} \\q\leq 4[/tex]

q ≤ 4

Step 3:

To find the correct graph, we need to know that a close circle means a ≤ or ≥ and an open one means a < or >. Here, we are using a ≤ so C and D are not our answers. Also remember that if the "arrow" is pointing left (<), then the arrow on the graph should be facing the left side. If the arrow is facing the right side, then that means we are using > or ≥. Here, we are using ≤ (left), so that means the arrow on the graph should be on a 4, facing left, with a closed circle.

Our answer is B.

A certain family has a husband, wife, son, and daughter. All together they are 68 years old. The husband is 3 years older than the wife, and the son is 3 years older than the daughter. Four years ago, all together the family was 54 years old. How old is the husband now?

Answers

Answer:

32 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The husband is 32 years old as the wife is 3 years younger than the husband. The son is 3 years older than the daughter. Their family altogether total age today is 68 years while 4 years ago their age total was 54 years. The difference is 14 years. If we divide the difference into 4 then the age can not be whole number which means daughter is born after 2 years. She is now 2 years older. Son is 3 years older than the daughter which means he is 5 years old. The husband then must be 32 years old and wife is 3 years younger which means she is 29 years old now.

32 + 29 + 5 + 2 = 68 years.

set = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

setting up a one-to-one correspondence between the set of real numbers between 0 and 1

The function : F(n)= {0,1} is equivalent to the subset (sf) of (n) , this condition is met if n belongs to the subset (sf) when f(n) = 1

hence The power set of (n) is uncountable and is equivalent to the set of real numbers given

A baseball player has a batting average of 0.26. What is the probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 at bats

Answers

Answer:

0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Batting average, p = 0.26

n = 7

x = 6

With p = 0.26 as success rate

1-p is equal to failure rate which is = 0.74

We have to solve this by using the binomial distribution formula.

P(X= x)

= nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

P(X = 6)

=7C6 × 0.26^6 ×(1-0.26)^(7-6)

= 7 × 0.0003089 × 0..74¹

= 0.0016

So probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 bats is equal to 0.0016.

Even though the population standard deviation is unknown, an investigator uses z rather than the more appropriate t to test a hypothesis at the .01 level of significance. In this situation the true level of significance of this test is

Answers

Answer:

The true true level of significance of this test is more than 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

No standard deviation and we are told that the investigator still used z rather than the more appropriate t - distribution.

This method of using the z-distribution when standard deviation is unknown will definitely result in a smaller critical value and this in turn simply means that the p-value will be smaller than what it should really be.

Thus, it means the critical value is getting closer to the mean value than the way it should be.

Therefore, means that for a given significance of 0.01 and using the z-distribution under this no standard deviation situation, the true true level of significance of this test is more than 0.01.

What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at least 20,000 hours

x ≥ 20000

P(X ≥ 20000) = 1 - P(X ≤ 20000)

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-λx))]

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-0.0000432900*20000)

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - 0.4207148)]

1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - 0.5792851

A collector as a set of 224 coins. Some are valued at 20 cents and others at 25 cents. If the collector has 74 25-cent coins, then what is the total value of the collection

Answers

Answer:

48.50 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The collector has a total of 224 coins but 74 of them are 25 cents coins. So, in order to find the number of 20-cent coins we're going to subtract the number of 25-cent coins from the total.

Number of 20-cent coins = 224 - 74 = 150.

Thus, the collector has 150 20-cent coins and 74 25-cent coins for a total of 224 coins.

Now, to know the total value of the collection we need to multiply the value of the coins by the number of coins there are of this value (we are going to do it with the 20-cent and the 25-cent coins) and then sum up our results.

Total value = 74(25) + 150 (20) = 1850 + 3000 = 4850 cents.

So the total value is 4850 cents, we know that each dollar has 100 cents so, to express this number in dollars we are going to divide it by 100 and thus we have that the total value of the collection is 48.50 dollars.
