A random sample of 25 boxes of cereal have a mean of 372.5grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams. Does an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal? Test hypothesis at the 5% significance level, outline all steps involved. (9mks)​

Answers

Answer 1

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the average box of cereal does not contain more than 368 grams, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 368[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it contains, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 368[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the sample, hence, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. s is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 372.5, \mu = 368, s = 15, n = 25[/tex].

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{372.5 - 368}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 1.5[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, with 25 -1 = 24 df, is of [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.71[/tex].

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

WT is 63 units long. Work on paper.

Answer:

WT = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Δ SDE is similar to Δ SWT then the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{WT}{DE}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{ST}{SE}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{5x+3}{56}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4x-3}{40}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

56(4x - 3) = 40(5x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

224x - 168 = 200x + 120 ( subtract 200x from both sides )

24x - 168 = 120 ( add 168 to both sides )

24x = 288 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = 12

Then

WT = 5x + 3 = 5(12) + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63

Evaluate the coefficient of x^5 and x^4 in the binomial expansion of (x/3-3)^7. Hence find the coefficient of x^5 in (x/3-3)^7(x-6)

Answers

Recall the binomial theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle (a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk a^{n-k} b^k[/tex]

where [tex]\binom nk = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex] is the binomial coefficient.

Take a = x/3, b = -3, and n = 7. Then we get the x⁵ and x⁴ terms when 7 - k = 5 and 7 - k = 4, respectively; or when k = 2 and k = 3.

[tex]k=2 \implies \dbinom 72 \left(\dfrac x3\right)^{7-2} (-3)^2 = 21 \cdot \dfrac{x^5}{243} \cdot 9 = \dfrac79 x^5[/tex]

[tex]k=3 \implies \dbinom 73 \left(\dfrac x3\right)^{7-3} (-3)^3 = 35 \cdot \dfrac{x^4}{81} \cdot (-27) = -\dfrac{35}3 x^4[/tex]

Then when multiplying this expansion by x - 6, we get an x⁵ terms from the products

[tex]\dfrac79 x^5 \cdot (-6)[/tex]

and

[tex]-\dfrac{35}3 x^4 \cdot x[/tex]

so that the x⁵ term in the overall expansion of (x/3 - 3)⁷ (x -  6) has a coefficient of

[tex]\dfrac79\cdot(-6) + \left(-\dfrac{35}3\right) \cdot 1 = \boxed{-\dfrac{49}3}[/tex]

The median weight of 15 dogs in a pet store is 12 pounds. Which action could change the median?

Answers

Answer:

If there was another dog whose weight was greater than or less than 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 4

When we add 4 to the data set we have:

184 ÷ 16 = 11.5

This changed the median.

12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 28

When we add 28 to the data set we have:

208 ÷ 16 = 13

This also changed the median.

By adding dog of  weight other than 12 pounds could change the median.

What is median?

The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that might skew the average of the values.

If we add the dog whose weight is more than 12 pounds, median will increase .

If we add the dog whose weight is less than 12 pounds, then median will decrease.

Hence, adding  dog of  weight other than 12 pounds could change the median.

How many cubes with side lengths of 1/3 does it take to fill the prism

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

along the side with 1 cm we can fit 3 cubes, as 3×1/3 = 1.

along the side with 2 2/3 cm we can fit 8 cubes :

2 2/3 = 6/3 + 2/3 = 8/3.

and 8/3 / 1/3 = 8/3 × 3/1 = 3×8 / 3×1 = 8

and the height is 2/3 cm, so we can put 2 layers of cubes on top of each other.

so, we have

3 × 8 × 2 = 48

48 cubes are needed to fill the prism.

put bracket around each 2 terms as such [tex](4x^3-8x^2)+(-9x+18)[/tex]

And then factor each respective bracket. We'll start with the first one

[tex](4x^3-8x^2) = 4x^2(x-2)[/tex]

Then do the other, and try to get similar brackets as the first

[tex](-9x+18)=-9(x-2)[/tex]

Since they are both simiar, the equation is now: [tex](4x^2-9)(x-2)[/tex]

Now factor the first bracket again for final result
