Question options :
A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
u< 99.
Answer:
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
Step-by-step explanation:
We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim
The n*ll hypothesis :H0
The alternative hypothesis : Ha
N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99
Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99
So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99
we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99

Century Roofing is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
Question Completion:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Answer:
Century Roofing
Project's NPV is: ($6,578)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333%
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Cash outflow in year 0 = $165,000 (Opportunity and new equipment costs)
Annual Cash inflow = $123,000 - $25,000 - $34,300 = $63,700
PV of annuity for 3 years at 10% = $158,422 ($63,700 x 2.487)
NPV = Cash inflow minus Cash outflow
= $158,422 - $165,000
= ($6,578)
Negative NPV
b) Since Century Roofing could have realized $100,000 from the sale of the building if it decides not to open the new warehouse, this opportunity cost is factored into the calculation of the Net Present Value. It becomes a present cash outflow. Century Roofing's opportunity cost is defined as the loss of $100,000 being the future return from the best alternative project when it chooses to build the new warehouse instead of selling off the building.
A new fast-food firm predicts that the number of franchises for its products will grow at the rate dn dt = 6 t + 1 where t is the number of years, 0 ≤ t ≤ 15.
Answer:
The answer is "253"
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given- equation there is mistype error so, the correct equation and its solution can be defined as follows:
Given:
[tex]\bold{\frac{dn}{dt} = 6\sqrt{t+1}}\\[/tex]
[tex]\to dn= 6\sqrt{t+1} \ \ dt.....(a)\\\\[/tex]
integrate the above value:
[tex]\to \int dn= \int 6\sqrt{t+1} \ \ dt \\\\\to n= \frac{(6\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}+c\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\[/tex]
When the value of n=1 then t=0
[tex]\to 1= \frac{12(0+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\ \to 1= \frac{12(1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+c\\\\\to 1-\frac{12}{3}=c\\\\\to \frac{3-12}{3}=c\\\\\to \frac{-9}{3}=c\\\\\to c=-3\\[/tex]
so the value of n is:
[tex]\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{t+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\[/tex]
when we put the value t= 15 then,
[tex]\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{15+1} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\sqrt{16} )^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-3\\\\\to n= \frac{(12\times 64)}{3}-3\\\\\to n= (4\times 64)-3\\\\\to n= 256-3\\\\\to n= 253[/tex]

Yelena needs to swim a total of 8 miles this
week. So far, she swam 5 miles. Use the
equation 5 + m=8 to find how many more
miles Yelena needs to swim.
Answer:
3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + m=8
Subtract 5 from each side
5-5 + m=8-5
m = 3
She needs to swim 3 more miles
Answer:
Yelena needs to swim 3 more miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to solve for the variable "m", which represents the miles. Based on the information, Yelena swam 5 miles and she needs to swim 8. Solve:
[tex]5+m=8[/tex]
To find the value of m, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, you need to get the 8 and 5 on the same side of the equal operation. For this, you need to use reverse operations. This undoes the value from one side and does the same on the other, keeping the equation balanced. Since we have a "positive 5", we take the opposite, which would be a "negative 5". So subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]5-5+m=8-5[/tex]
Simplify. The 5's cancel each other out, leaving 0. 8-5 is 3:
[tex]m=3[/tex]
The total miles left that Yelena needs to swim is 3 miles.

A passenger train traveled 180 miles in the same amount of time it took a freight train to travel 120 miles. The rate of the freight train was 15 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. Find the rate of the passenger train.
Answer:
The passenger train is moving at 45 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of time it took the two trains to travel the distance = t.
Since the two trains traveled the distance at the same time,
Rate of the passenger train =[tex]\frac{180}{t}[/tex]
Rate of the freight train = [tex]\frac{120}{t}[/tex]
Where t is in hours.
From the problem, we can see that the rate of the freight train was 15 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. Mathematically, we can represent this as
[tex]\frac{120}{t}= \frac{180}{t}-15[/tex]
from the above equation, we can now get our value for t as
[tex]\frac{120-180}{t}=-15\\\frac{-60}{t}=-15\\t=4 hours[/tex]
We have our time of travel for the two trains as 4 hours.
The rate of the passenger train can now be calculated by 180/4 = 45 miles per hour

Regression line equation: ŷ = _______ + _______ x.
Answer:
Y = 2.843+ 0.037 X
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the straight line to be fitted to the data , be Y = a+b X where a and b are to be evaluated. The normal equations fro determining a and b are
∑Y = na +b ∑X
∑XY = a∑X + b∑X²
We now calculate ∑X, ∑Y , ∑X², and ∑XY
X Y XY X²

7 3 21 49
6 2 12 36
2 5 10 4
1 1 1 1
21 15 64 115
Thus the normal equation becomes
5a + 21b =15
21a +115b = 64
Solving these two equations simultaneously we get
105 a + 441b = 315
105a + 575b = 320
134b= 5
b= 0.037 , a= 2.843
Hence the equation for the required straight line is
Y = 2.843+ 0.037 X
Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked.Required:a. What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30?b. What is the (approximate) probability that X is less than 30?c. What is the (approximate) probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive)?
Answer:
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is 0.7406.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked. A random sample of 200 shafts is taken.
Let X = the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 200, p = 0.11).
Here the probability of success is 11% that this much % of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked.
Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).
So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]200 \times 0.11[/tex] = 22
and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{200 \times 0.11 \times (1-0.11)}[/tex]
= 4.42
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu =22, \sigma^{2} = 4.42^{2}[/tex])
(a) The probability that X is at most 30 is given by = P(X < 30.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 30.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{30.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 1.92) = 0.9726
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.92 in the z table which has an area of 0.9726.
(b) The probability that X is less than 30 is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 29.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{29.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.70) = 0.9554
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.9554.
(c) The probability that X is between 15 and 25 (inclusive) is given by = P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = P(X < 25.5) - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) {using continuity correction}
P(X < 25.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{25.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.79) = 0.7852
P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 14.5) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{14.5-22}{4.42}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.70) = 1 - P(Z < 1.70)
= 1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.79 and x = 1.70 in the z table which has an area of 0.7852 and 0.9554.
Therefore, P(15 [tex]\leq[/tex] X [tex]\leq[/tex] 25) = 0.7852 - 0.0446 = 0.7406.

A type of related samples design in which participants are observed more than once is called a
A. repeated measures design
B. matched pairs design
C. matched samples design
D. both matched pairs design and matched samples design
Answer:
Option A (repeated measures design) is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Researchers as well as statisticians vary in terms of methods used mostly for repetitive measurements. Besides illustration, repeated models of measurements are however recognized as repeated analyzes of variance measurements, standardized considerations of measurements, or layouts of objects throughout them.The other three options are not related to the given instance. So that alternative A would be the correct choice.
Given the following hypotheses: H0: μ = 490 H1: μ ≠ 490 A random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9. Using the 0.01 significance level:
a.) State the decision rule.
b.) Compute the value of the test statistic.
c.) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
Answer:
We conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 490 {means that the population mean is equal to 490}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 490 {means that the population mean is different from 490}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 495
s = sample standard deviation = 9
n = sample of observations = 15
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{495-490}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
= 2.152
The value of t-test statistics is 2.152.
Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.977 and 2.977 at 14 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.

Combined weight loss in pounds that occurs within a week:
Weight loss in kg × 2.2
28kg * 2.2 = 61.6 pounds
Assume weight loss occurred at a constant rate :
Weight lost by the group per day :
(Total weight loss / number of days in a week)
(61.6 pounds / 7)
= 8.8 pounds daily

Found the answer and I am doing the quiz rn lel
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years will it take to reach $20 per month? Use the equation 20 = 8(1.2)x to solve the problem. Round to the nearest year. 1 year 5 years 2 years 16 years
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
[tex]y=ab^x\\8=ab^0\\a=8[/tex]
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
[tex]y=ab^x\\y=8(1.2^x) \\[/tex]
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
[tex]20=8(1.2)^x\\20/8=1.2^x\\1.2^x=2.5\\Taking \ natural\ log\ of \ both\ sides:\\ln(1.2^x)=ln2.5\\xln(1.2)=0.9163\\x=0.9163/ln(1.2)\\x=5.026[/tex]
x = 6 years to the nearest year
