A business consultant wanted to investigate if providing day-care facilities on premises by companies reduces the absentee rate of working mothers with children under six years old. She took a sample of 45 such mothers from companies that provide day-care facilities on premises. These mothers missed an average of 6.4 days from work last year with a standard deviation of 1.20 days. Another sample of 50 such mothers taken from companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises showed that these mothers missed an average of 9.3 days last year with a standard deviation of 1.85 days.
a. Using a 2.5% significance level, can you conclude that the mean number of days missed per year by mothers working for companies that provide day-care facilities on premises is less than the mean number of days missed per year by mothers working for companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises?
b. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means.
i. State the hypothesis
ii. State the rejection or nor rejection region
iii. Calculate the test statistics
iv. State the conclusion

Answers

Answer:

Part a:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

i) H0:  ud  ≥ u    vs          Ha: ud < u

ii) As the significance level is ∝= 0.025 and it is one tailed test then the critical region R < - 1.96

iii) The test statistics is  =−9.15

iv) We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Part b:   CI = (−3.637,−2.163)

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the sample sizes are sufficiently large (n1,n2> 30) we can use the sample standard deviations in place of population standard deviations.

Part a:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

i) H0:  ud  ≥ u    vs          Ha: ud < u

where

ud is the mean of the days missed  per year by mothers working for companies that provide day-care facilities on premises

and

u is the mean number of days missed per year by mothers working for companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises

ii) As the significance level is ∝= 0.025 and it is one tailed test then the critical region R < - 1.96

iii) The test statistics is

z= xˉ1 − xˉ2/√ s 1² /n 1 +s 2² /n 2

​=  6.4−9.3/ √1.2 ² /45+ 1.85² /50​

=−9.15

iv) The calculated z = −9.15 values lies in the critical region= R < - 1.96 and the null hypothesis is rejected. Hence the  mean of absentees for companies that provide day-care facilities on premises  is less than the

the mean number of absentees for companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises.

We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Part b:

The confidence interval can be calculated using the formula

CI = ( xˉ1 − xˉ2) ± z∝/2 √ s 1² /n 1 +s 2² /n 2

CI = (6.4−9.3) ± 2.326 * √1.2 ² /45+ 1.85² /50​

CI = (−3.637,−2.163)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To get the slope (m):

m = rise / run = -3 / 1 --> it's negative 3 since the slope is going downwards

2. the y-intercept is the point that crosses the y-axis or when the x point is 0, so (0, -3)

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 171500 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used. First, find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x , the length of one side of the square base. [Hint: use the volume formula to express the height of the box in terms of x .] Simplify your formula as much as possible.

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is length of square base x = 70 cm and height of box = 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box with square base is V = x²h where x = length of side of square base and h = height of box.

Now, the area of the of box open at the top with dimensions of length, l , width, w and height, h are

A = 2lh + lw + 2wh

Now for a box of square base, l = w = x.

So, A = 2xh + x² + 2xh

A = x² + 4xh

Since V = x²h and V = 171500 cm³,

h = V/x² = 171500/x²

substituting h into A, we have

A =   x² + 4xh

A =  x² + 4x(171500 cm³/x²)

A =  x² + 4 × 171500 cm³/x

A =  x² + 686000 cm³/x

To find the value of x that minimizes A, we differentiate A with respect to x

So, dA/dx = d[x² + 686000 cm³/x]/dx

dA/dx = 2x - 686000 cm³/x²

equating this to zero, we have

2x - 686000 cm³/x² = 0

2x = 686000 cm³/x²

2x³ = 686000

x³ = 686000 cm³/2

x = ∛(343000 cm³)

x = 70 cm

To determine if this in a minimum dimension for A, we differentiate dA/dx and insert x = 70 cm

So, d²A/dx² = d[2x - 686000 cm³/x²]/dx

d²A/dx² = 2 + 3 × 686000 cm³/x³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/x³

with x = 70 cm, we have

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/(70 cm)³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/343000 cm³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 6

d²A/dx² = 8 > 0

So, x = 70 is a minimum value for the dimension

Since h = 171500 cm³/x²

h = 171500 cm³/(70 cm)²

h = 171500 cm³/4900 cm²

h = 35 cm

So, the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is length of square base x = 70 cm and height of box = 35 cm

If the height of the pyramid were increased to 512 ft and the height to base area ratio of the pyramid were kept constant, by what percentage would the volume of the pyramid increase

Answers

Complete question:

The base of a pyramid covers an area of 14.0 acres (1 acre = 43, 560 ft²  ) and has a height of 481 ft. If the volume of a pyramid is given by the expression V = bh/3, where b is the area of the base and h is the height. If the height of the pyramid were increased to 512 ft and the height to base area ratio of the pyramid were kept constant, by what percentage would the volume of the pyramid increase

Answer:

The percentage increase of the volume is 6.45 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of pyramid is calculated as;

V = bh/3

The initial volume of the pyramid is calculated as follows;

[tex]V = \frac{bh}{3} \\\\V_0 = (\frac{1}{3} ) \times (14 \ acres \ \times \frac{43,560 \ ft^2}{1 \ acre} ) \times (481 \ ft)\\\\V_0 = 97,777,680 \ ft^3[/tex]

The final volume of the pyramid when the height is increased to 512 ft.

[tex]V_1 = (\frac{1}{3} ) \times (14 \ acres \ \times \frac{43,560 \ ft^2}{1 \ acre} ) \times (512 \ ft)\\\\V_1 = 104,079,360 \ ft^3[/tex]

The percentage increase of the volume;

[tex]= \frac{104,079,360 - 97,777,680}{97,777,680} \times 100\%\\\\= 6.45 \ \%[/tex]

The volume of the pyramid will increase by 11.79%

The volume of a Pyramid is calculated using:

[tex]V = \frac{Bh}3[/tex]

Where:

B represents the base areah represents the height

When the height is increased from 458 to 512, then the initial and the final volumes are:

[tex]V_1 = \frac{458}{3}b[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = \frac{512}{3}b[/tex]

The percentage change is then calculated as:

[tex]\% Change = \frac{V_2 -V_1}{V_1} \times 100\%[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\% Change = \frac{512b/3 -458b/3}{458b/3} \times 100\%[/tex]

Simplify the numerator

[tex]\% Change = \frac{54b/3}{458b/3} \times 100\%[/tex]

Evaluate the quotient

[tex]\% Change = 0.1179 \times 100\%[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]\% Change = 11.79 \%[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the pyramid will increase by 11.79%
