The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, , of pounds, and a standard deviation of pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength has increased

Answers

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean of 1900 pounds, and a standard deviation of 65 pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 150 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1902 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.01 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength has increased?

Solution :

Given data :

Mean, μ = 1900

Standard deviation, σ = 65

Sample size, n = 150

Sample mean, [tex]$\overline x$[/tex] = 1902

Level of significance = 0.01

The hypothesis are :

[tex]$H_0 : \mu = 1900$[/tex]

[tex]$H_1 : \mu > 1900$[/tex]

Test statics :

We use the z test as the sample size is large and we know the population standard deviation.

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

[tex]$z=\frac{1902-1900}{65 / \sqrt{150}}$[/tex]

[tex]$z=\frac{2}{5.30723}$[/tex]

[tex]$z=0.38$[/tex]

Finding the p-value:

P-value = P(Z > z)

             = P(Z > 0.38)

             = 1 - P(Z < 0.38)

From the z table. we get

P(Z < 0.38) = 0.6480

Therefore,

P-value = 1 - P(Z < 0.38)

            = 1 - 0.6480

             = 0.3520

Decision :

If the p value is less than 0.01, then we reject the [tex]H_0[/tex], otherwise we fail to reject  [tex]H_0[/tex].

Since the value of p = 0.3520 > 0.01, the level of significance, then we fail to reject  [tex]H_0[/tex].

Conclusion :

At a significance level of 0.01, we have no sufficient evidence to support that the mean breaking strength has increased.

The Two vectors;  A = 5i + 6j +7k and B = 3i -8j +2k.

A.B = |A| * |B|* cosθ

hence : Cosθ = (Ai*Bi )+ (Aj*Bj) + ( Ak*Bk/ (√A^2 *√B^2 )

                       = 15 - 48 + 14 /(√25+26+29) * (√9+64+4)

In a randomly selected sample of 100 students at a University, 81 of them had access to a computer at home. Give the value of the standard error for the point estimate.

Answers

Answer:

The value of the standard error for the point estimate is of 0.0392.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In a randomly selected sample of 100 students at a University, 81 of them had access to a computer at home.

This means that [tex]n = 100, p = \frac{81}{100} = 0.81[/tex]

Give the value of the standard error for the point estimate.

This is s. So

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.81*0.19}{100}} = 0.0392[/tex]

The value of the standard error for the point estimate is of 0.0392.

A sample of students was asked what political party do they belong. which of the following types of graphical display would be appropriate for the sample?
A. Stemplot.
B. Pie chart.
C. Scatterplot.
D. All of the above.

Answers

Answer:

B. Pie chart.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the students are asked what political party they belong. The best display format would be one in which the graph can be divided into parts, or percents, according to the percentage of students belonging to each political party. The graph that best describes this, distributing a group into parts, is a pie chart, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.

Scatterplot is used when two variables correlate together, that is, there is a relationship between them, which we don't have between the number, or proportion of students belonging to each political party. Stemplot are used when there is a high number of quantitative data, which we do not have here.

Marty's barber shop has one barber. Customers arrive at a rate of 2.2 per hour and haircuts are given at a rate of 5 customers per hour. Assume a Poisson arrival rate and an Exponential service time distribution.

Required:
a. What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting?
b. What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting?
c. What is the probability that more than two customers are waiting?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrival rate = ∧ = 2.2 customers per hour  

Service rate = u = 5 customers per hour  

1. Probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting  

P(2 customers)=(∧/u)^2 * (1-∧/u)=(2.2/5)^2 * (1-2.2/5)=0.1936*0.56= 0.108416

 

2. Probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting  

P(3 customers)= (∧/u)^3 * (1-∧/u)=(2.2/5)^3 * (1-2.2/5)= 0.085184  

* 0.56= 0.04770304

 

3. Probability that more than two customers are waiting  

P(more than 3 customers)=1- P(less than 3 customers) =  

1- [P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)]=  

= 1- [(1-2.2/5) +2.2/5*(1- 2.2/5) + 0.108416+0.04770304]=1-0.9625=0.0375

An electronic system contains three cooling components that operate independently. The probability of each component's failure is 0.05. The system will overheat if and only if at least two components fail. Calculate the probability that the system will overheat.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Pr= 0.00725[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 0.05[/tex] ---- probability that each component fails

[tex]n = 3[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(System\ Overheats)[/tex]

We understand that the system will overheat if at least 2 component fails; Assume the components are: x, y and z

The events that the system will overheat are: xyz', xy'z, x'yz and xyz

Where ' means that the component did not fail, and the probability is 1 - p (i.e. complement rule)

So, we have:

[tex]xyz' \to 0.05 * 0.05 * (1 - 0.05) = 0.002375[/tex]

[tex]xy'z \to 0.05 * (1 - 0.05)* 0.05 = 0.002375[/tex]

[tex]x'yz \to (1 - 0.05)* 0.05 * 0.05 = 0.002375[/tex]

[tex]xyz \to 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05 =0.000125[/tex]

So, the required probability is:

[tex]Pr= 0.002375 +0.002375 +0.002375 + 0.000125[/tex]

[tex]Pr= 0.00725[/tex]

B. h = 7.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

height of the laptop screen = h

d = 12.1 in.

w = 9.6 in.

We are given the formula,

d = √(w² + h²)

Plug in the values and solve for h

12.1 = √(9.6² + h²)

Square both sides

12.1² = 9.6² + h²

146.41 = 92.16 + h²

146.41 - 92.16 = h²

54.25 = h²

√54.25 = h

7.4 = h (nearest tenth)

h = 7.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The the smaller number be [tex]x[/tex]. Since the other number is 3 times as large as the other, we can represent the large number as [tex]3x[/tex]. Because they add up to 44, we have the following equation:

[tex]x+3x=44[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]4x=44[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]x=\frac{44}{4}=\boxed{11}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x=11[/tex] into [tex]3x[/tex] to find the larger number:

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

17 cans$2,971.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume ...

the 25' dimension is the wall heightthe HST rate is 15% (the paint is not purchased in Ontario)only full cans of paint can be purchased

The wall area is the wall height times the perimeter of the room.

  wall area = (25')(2(100' +65')) = 8250 ft²

The ceiling area is the product of length and width.

  ceiling area = (100')(65') = 6500 ft²

Then the area to be painted with each coat is ...

  painted area = wall area + ceiling area = (8250 +6500) ft² = 14750 ft²

Then two coats of paint will require sufficient paint to cover ...

  (2 coats)×(14750 ft²/coat) = 29,500 ft²

__

If each can of paint covers 1750 ft², the number of cans required is ...

  (29,500 ft²)/(1750 ft²/can) = 16.86 cans

  17 cans must be purchased

__

The cost of 17 cans of paint with sales tax will be ...

  (17 cans)($151.99/can)(1 +15%) = $2971.40
