The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 43 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 29 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 44. The standard deviation of the sample is 4.1 calls. Using the 0.050 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 43? H0: μ ≤ 43 H1: μ > 43 Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The critical region for α= 0.05 is Z > ± 1.645

The calculated value of Z= 1.100

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternate hypotheses are given

H0: μ ≤ 43

H1: μ > 43  one tail test

∝= 0.05

n= 29

Standard Deviation= s= 4.1

Mean = μ0 = 44

For one tail test the z value of α= ± 1.645

The critical region for α= 0.05 is Z > ± 1.645

The test statistic is given by

z=μ0-μ/ s/√n

Z= 44-43/4.1/√29

Z= 1/4.1/√29

Z= 1.100

Since the calculated value Z= 1.100 does not  fall in the critical region , We reject H0 and may conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is not more than 43

   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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting problem.

At 6<x<8,

f(x) = x-7

at 5<x<8

g(x) = (15-x)/2

=>

y(x)

= f(x)*g(x)

= (x-7)(15-x)/2

= (x^2+22x-105)/2

differentiate y(x) with respect to x,

y'(x) = -x+11

at x = 7,

y'(7) = -(7) + 11 = 4

Randy is walking home from school. According to the diagram above, what is his total distance from school to home? Show your work and include units. If he had a jet pack, would you use distance or displacement? Why?

Answers

Answer:

First, when he walks, we can see in the image that between the school and his house he must walk 4 times a distance of 0.5km, so this is a total of 4¨*0.5km = 2km.

Then he needs to walk 2km.

Now if he has a jet-pack, he can ignore the buildings and just take the shorter path, here we can draw a triangle rectangle, in such a way that the hypotenuse of this triangle is the distance between the home and the school.

One of the catheti is the vertical distance (two blocks of 0.5km, so this catheti has a length of 2*0.5km = 1km), and the other one is the horizontal distance, also 1km.

The actual distance of this path is given by the Pythagorean's theorem:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

Where A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse, then:

H^2 = 1km^2 + 1km^2

H = (√2)km = 1.41km.

Now, in the case that he has a jet-pack, he can actually go to the school using this hypotenuse line as his path, in this case the distance and the displacement would be the same.

This is because the definitions of distance and displacement are:

Distance: "how much ground an object has covered"

Displacement: "Difference between the final position and the initial position"

When he walks, the distance is 2km and the displacement is 1.41km , but when he uses the jet pack, the distance is equal to the displacement, both are 1.41km.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is we can see in the image, when he walks, that between the house and his school he has to walk four times a distance of 0.5 km.  The result of this is a total of 4¨*0.5 km = 2 km.  The second thing is that he must walk 2 kilometers.  On the other hand, if he has a jetpack, he can simply take the shorter path by ignoring all the buildings.  This idea is where we can draw a triangular rectangle on the map in a way so that the hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the school and the home.  As for the Catheti, it is a vertical distance which in this case is two blocks of 0.5 km.  The result is that these catheti have a length of 2*0.5 km = 1 km.  The other is the distance of the horizontal line, which is 1 km.  The absolute distance of this path is given by Pythagorean's theorem, which is A^2 + B^2 = H^2.  Here, A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse, then, H^2 = 1 km^2 + 1 km^2.  As well, H = (√2)km = 1.41 km.  Currently, in the situation where he has a jetpack, he can literally fly to the school utilizing this hypotenuse line for the path he would need to follow.  For this specific situation, the displacement, and the distance would be the exact same.  The reason for this is that the definitions of displacement and distance are displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position and distance is how much area an item has covered.  Also, when he walks, the distance is 2 km and the displacement is 1.41 km.  Also, when he utilizes the jet pack, the distance is equal to the displacement.  Both of these are 1.41 km.

A nutrition laboratory tested 25 "reduced sodium" hotdogs of a certain brand, finding that the mean sodium content is 310 mg with a standard deviation of 36 mg.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean sodium content of this brand of hot dog and interpret a 95% level of confidence. Show all work

Answers

Answer:

The  95% confidence interval is  [tex]295.9 < \mu< 324.1[/tex]

A   95% level of confidence mean that there is 95%  chance  that the true population mean will be in this interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 25[/tex]

    The mean is  [tex]\= x = 310 \ mg[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 36 \ mg[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

=>        [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

=>        [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/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} } =Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

        [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{36 }{\sqrt{25} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = 14.1[/tex]

The 95% level of confidence interval  is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x - E < \mu<\ \= x - E[/tex]

substituting values

     [tex]310- 14.1 < \mu< 310+ 14.1[/tex]

     [tex]295.9 < \mu< 324.1[/tex]

The  95% level of confidence mean that there is 95%  chance  that the true population mean will be in this interval

Should Thomas conclude that telephone surveys provide adequate coverage with respect to p ? Why or why not? Select all correct statements about his decision and conclusion.

Answers

Answer:

Thomas should not reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is rejected or accepted on the basis of level of significance. When the p-value is greater than level of significance we fail to reject the null hypothesis and null hypothesis is then accepted. It is not necessary that all null hypothesis will be rejected at 10% level of significance. To determine the criteria for accepting or rejecting a null hypothesis we should also consider p-value.  Here in this question the test value is -1.73346 and p-value is 0.0830. The p value is greater than the test value therefore the null hypothesis should be accepted.

Answer: 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a is a multiple of 456

Let [tex]a = 456 x[/tex]

Then, expression [tex]3a^3+a^2+4a+57 =3(456x)^3+(456x)^2+4(456x)+57[/tex]

Since 456 = 57 x 8

Then, [tex]3(456x)^3+(456x)^2+4(456x)+57=3(57\times 8x)^3+(57\times 8x)^2+4(57\times 8x)+57[/tex]

[tex]=3(57)^3\times (8x)^3+(57)^2\times (8x)^2+4(57)\times (8x)+57[/tex]

Taking 57 out as common

[tex]=57[3(57)^2\times (8x)^3+(57)\times (8x)^2+4\times (8x)+1][/tex]

Now, the greatest common divisor of [tex]a = 456 x[/tex] and [tex]3a^3+a^2+4a+57=57[3(57)^2\times (8x)^3+(57)\times (8x)^2+4\times (8x)+1][/tex] is 57.

Hence, the greatest common divisor of 3a^3+a^2+4a+57 and a is 57.

Given [tex]h(x)=c\pi[/tex], [tex]h(x+4)[/tex] must also be [tex]c\pi[/tex]. Therefore, we have:

[tex]\displaystyle h'(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{c\pi - c\pi }{h},\\h'(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{0}{h}=\boxed{0}[/tex]

Note that the derivative of a constant is always zero since for [tex]f(x)=c[/tex], where [tex]c[/tex] is some constant, [tex]f(x)=f(x+h)[/tex] and we obtain [tex]c-c[/tex] in the numerator, yielding a final answer of zero.

Scores on a University exam are normally distributed with a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 9. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what percentage of students score above 77?

Answers

99.73 - 68.27 = 31.46

31.46 / 2 =15.73

a. .19
b. 1.57
c. .64
d. .91

Answers

Answer:

P( A| B)= 0.35. None of the options are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one of the events does not affect the other occurring. For example, the event of tossing two coins is an independent event since they occur simultaneously. Two events are therefore independent if the following are true.

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)

If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55,

then P( A| B) is a probability of A occurring provided that B has occurred. This is known as conditional probability for an independent event.

From the condition above for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A) and since P(A) =  0.35, hence P(A|B) =0.35
