Commute times in the U.S. are heavily skewed to the right. We select a random sample of 45 people from the 2000 U.S. Census who reported a non-zero commute time. In this sample the mean commute time is 25.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 19.1 minutes. Required:a. Can we conclude from this data that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour?b. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance. c. What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to test whether the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

The information provided is:

 [tex]n=45\\\bar x=25.5\\s=19.1\\\alpha =0.05[/tex]

(a)

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

H₀: The mean commute time in the U.S. is not less than half an hour, i.e. μ ≥ 30.

Hₐ: The mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour, i.e. μ < 30.

(b)

As the population standard deviation is not known we will use a t-test for single mean.

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 [tex]t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{25.2-30}{19.1/\sqrt{45}}=-1.58[/tex]

Thus, the test statistic value is -1.58.

(c)

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

[tex]p-value=P(t_{(n-1)}<-1.58)=P(t_{(45-1)}<-1.58)=0.061[/tex]  

*Use a t-table.

The p-value of the test is 0.061.

Decision rule:

If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

p-value = 0.061> α = 0.05

The null hypothesis will not be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Thus, concluding that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

2000 2yrs at 2% How much interest is owed

Answers

Answer:

Rs. 80 is owed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principle (P) = 2000

Time (T) = 2 years

Rate (R) = 2%

Interest (I) = ?

Here,

I = (P×T×R) / 100

= (2000×2×2) / 100

= (8000) / 100

= Rs. 80

Answer:

P= 2000

T= 2

R=2÷100

I = PTR

= 2000×2×2÷100

2÷100=0.02

2000×2×0.02= 80

So i is 80

two cars started to move towards each other at the same time. the speed of the first car was twice the speed of the second car. they met in two hours. if the distance traveled altogether was 300 km find the rates of the cars.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the speed of the slower car

2v is the speed of the faster car

In 2 hrs, the slower car travels a distance of

2 hr(v km/hr) = 2v km

In 2 hrs, the faster car travels a distance of

2 hr(2v km/hr) = 4v km

2v + 4v = 300

6v = 300

 v = 50 km/hr

2v = 100 km/hr

Gail bought 5 pounds of oranges and 2 pounds of bananas for $14. Her husband later bought 3 pounds of oranges and 6 pounds of bananas for $18. What was the cost per pound of the oranges and the bananas?

Answers

Answer:

1 pound of Oranges = $2

1 pound of Bananas = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

O = Oranges

B = Bananas

=> 5o + 2b = 14

=> 2b = 14 - 5o

=> b = 14/2 - 5/2o

=> b = 7 - 2.5o

3o + 6b = 18

=> 3o + 6( 7 - 2.5o ) = 18

=> 3o + 42 - 15o = 18

=> -12o + 42 = 18

=> -12o = -24

=> -o = -2

=> o = 2

One pound of oranges costs $2.

So,

5 (2) + 2b = 14

=> 10 + 2b = 14

=> 2b =4

=> b = 2

One pound of bananas also costs $2.

Answer: cost of orange per pound = 2$
Cost of banana per pound = 2$

Find the slope of the line containing the points (-2, -8) and (6,-4).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following formula:

slope (m) = [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

Let:

[tex](x_1 , y_1) = (-2 , -8)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (6 , -4)[/tex]

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-4 - (-8)}{6 - (-2)} = \frac{-4 + 8}{6 + 2} = \frac{4}{8}[/tex]

Jane and her two friends will rent an apartment for S550 a month, but Jane will pay double what each friend does because she will have her own bedroom.
How much will Jane pay a month?

Answers

Answer:

$275 a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much each friend is paying.

The amount Jane pays can be represented by 2x, since she is paying double than her friends.

Add together these terms and set them equal to 550. Then, solve for x:

x + x + 2x = 550

4x = 550

x = 137.5

So, each friend is paying $137.50. Double this to find how much Jane is paying:

137.5(2)

= 275

So, Jane is paying $275 a month

Each side of a quilt square measures approximately 4.25 inches. If there are about 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch, how long is each side of the square in centimeters? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: approximately 10.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a square, where each side measures approx. 4.25 in

Now we know that 1in ≈ 2.54 cm

Then, in 4.25 in, we have 4.25 times 1 inch, so we have 4.25 times the length of 2.54 cm

So the approximate measure of the sides in centimeters is:

4.25*(2.54)cm = 10.8 cm

So we have that each side measures approximately 10.8 centimeters

The height of an object dropped from the top of a 144-foot building is given by ℎ(. How long will it take the object to hit the ground?)=―162+144

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: h(t) = -16t2 + 144

h(1) = -16(12) + 144 = 128 ft

h(2) = -16(22) + 144 = 80 ft

h(2) - h(1) = 80 - 128 = -48 ft

It fell 48 ft between t = 1 and t = 2 seconds.

It reaches the ground when h(t) = 0

0 = -16t2 + 144

t = √(144/16) s = 3s

It reaches the ground 3s after being dropped.

Give examples of two variables that have a perfect positive linear correlation and two variables that have a perfect negative linear correlation.

Answers

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. price per gallon of gasoline and total cost of gasoline

2. distance from a door and height of a wheelchair ramp

perfect positive linear relationship:

this is a relation that exists between two variables. The pearson correlation is used to check this relationship and if the relationship is 1.0 then it is established that a positive linear relationship exists

negative linear relationship

this is a relationship between variables where the pearson correlation is less than 0. if the value is -1.0 then a negative linear relatioship exists.

price per gallon of gasoline and total cost of gasoline move in the same direction so it is positive.

distance from a door and height of a wheelchair ramp are negative because they do not move in the same direction.

What are your null and alternative hypotheses? b. What test is appropriate here? Why? c. What is your test statistic? d. What is your critical value? e. What is your final decision: do you reject the null or fail to reject the null?

Answers

Answer:

a) and b)  Look step by step explanation

c) z(s) = - 12,07

d) z(c) = - 1,64

e) Final decision: Reject H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Normal Distribution

Data:

Sample population  n   = 1200

Sample mean         μ  =    3

Sample Standard deviation   2,87

Claim mean      μ₀  =  4

α = 0,05  then from z-table we find  z(c) = 1,64   ( critical value )

We need to develop a one tail-test to the left

Test Hypothesis

The General Society developed a survey ( in all cases that is an indication of a sample)

Null hypothesis                    H₀                      μ   =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis        Hₐ                       μ  <  μ₀

To calculate the  z(s)

z(s) =  ( μ  -  μ₀ )/ 2,87/√n

z(s) =  ( 3 - 4 )/ 2,87/√1200

z(s) =   -1 * 34,64 / 2,87

z(s) = - 12,07

To compare  z(s) and z(c)

z(s)  <  z(c)           - 12,07 < - 1,64

z(s) is in the rejection region (quite far away) we reject H₀

Data provide enough evidence to disprove the claim

Both AB and XY are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively. So we have one fraction of AB/XY = 2/7.

AC and XZ are the first and last letters of ABC and XYZ respectively. We can form another fraction AC/XZ. I'm dividing in the same order of small over large to keep things consistent. As you can probably guess, the order of the letters ABC and XYZ are important so we see how the angles match up and how the proportional sides match up.

Because the triangles are similar, the two fractions formed earlier are equal to one another.

The equation we need to solve is AB/XY = AC/XZ

Suppose that the credit remaining on a phone card (in dollars) is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.12. See the figure below. There is $28.96 in credit remaining on the card after minutes of calls. How much credit was there after 21 minutes of calls?

Answers

Answer:

Credit remaining after 21 minutes = $30.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit remaining on a phone card is a linear function of the total calling time.

When graphed, let the linear function representing the line is,

y = mx + b

Where 'm' = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph,

Slope of the line = -0.12

y = -0.12x + b

If this line passes through a point (33, 28.96),

28.96 = -0.12(33) + b

b = 28.96 + 3.96

b = 32.92

Therefore, the linear function is,

f(x) = -0.12x + 32.92

where x = calling time

Credit left in the card after 21 minutes,

f(21) = -0.12(21) + 32.92

      = -2.52 + 32.92

      = $30.4

The minimum sample size is [tex]n = 2123[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.028[/tex]

   

Given that the confidence level is  99% then the level of significance is evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 1 \%[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha =0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

   The  value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Now let  assume that the sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.5[/tex]

  hence  [tex]\r q = 1 - \r p[/tex]

=>            [tex]\r q = 0.50[/tex]

   Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

                [tex]n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }}{ E} ]^2 * \r p * \r q[/tex]

                [tex]n =[ \frac{2.58}{ 0.028} ]^2 * 0.5 * 0.5[/tex]

Find equations of the tangent plane and the normal line to the given surface at the specified point. x + y + z = 7[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex] at a specified point (0, 0, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a level surface, then it will give us

f(x,y,z) = x+y+z = 7[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex]. where f is the function of the x, y, and z coordinates.

Now let us calculate the ∇ gradient of f at point (0,0,7):

= (1, 1, 1)

We get the equation for the tangent plane A:

A: 1(x−0) + 1(y−0) + 1(z−7)=0

This can also be written as:

x+y+z = 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------(a)
