The mean hourly wage for employees in goods-producing industries was $24.57, April 12, 2012 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Suppose a sample of 30 employees from the manufacturing industry is taken, in April 2012, to see if the mean hourly wage differs from the reported mean of $24.57 for the goods-producing industries.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses we should use to test whether the population mean hourly wage in the manufacturing industry differs from the population mean hourly wage in the goods-producing industries.
b. Suppose a sample of 30 employees from the manufacturing industry showed a sam- ple mean of $23.89 per hour. Assume a population standard deviation of $2.40 per hour and compute the p-value.
c. With a = .05 as the level of significance, what is your conclusion?
d. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The null hypothesis is generally an exact value and the alternative hypothesis is the one we are trying to show. We are trying to show that the population mean is different from $24.57, so the hypotheses are as follows:

Null: The population mean hourly wage in the manufacturing industry is the same as the population mean hourly wage in the goods-producing industries

Alternative: The population mean hourly wage in the manufacturing industry differs from the population mean hourly wage in the goods-producing industries

b.

Because we know the population standard deviation, we can use a z test

Plugging in the values:

Expected population mean: 24.57

Sample average: 23.89

Sample size: 30

Population standard deviation: 2.4, we get 0.1207 as our p-value.

c. Using a = 0.05, our p-value is greater than that, so we can not conclude the alternative hypothesis (The population mean hourly wage in the manufacturing industry differs from the population mean hourly wage in the goods-producing industries)

d. Using a critical value calculator, we can find that for a two-tailed approach, the critical value would be 1.96. This would mean that the z score would have to be greater than 1.96 or less than -1.96 for the results to be significant. The population mean we would plug in here is 24.57, while the raw score would be 23.89 and the standard deviation would be 2.4. The z score we get is -0.283, which is not in the values specified (>1.96 or <-1.95) so we cannot conclude the alternative hypothesis

Richard is asked to spray wash the exterior of a building that is shaped like a cube. The building has a side length of 7 meters. How much surface area will Richard have to clean?
7 meters squared.
245 meters squared.
49 meters squared.
294 meters squared.

Answers

Answer:

294 meters squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of cube is calculated using the formula :

Surface area of cube = 6a²; where a = side length of the cube

The side length of the cube, a = 7 meters

Hence,

Surface area = 6 * 7² = 6 * 49

Surfave area of cube = 294 meters

Answer:

245 meters squared (correct on my test)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, in this case, we complete the formula and then subtract the area of the base. Therefore, we take 6 x (7 meters)^2 and subtract (7 meters)^2. This can also be represented as 5 x (7 meters)^2.

Answer:

The exponent of y is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]6xy^2 - 5x^{[]}y^{[]} + 9x^{[]}[/tex]

[tex]degree = 3[/tex]

Required

The exponent of y (second term)

Since the polynomial has a degree of 3, the exponents of y will decrease from left to right (i.e. 2,1,0) while x will increase from left to right (i.e. 1,2,3)

So, we have:

[tex]6xy^2 - 5x^{[]}y^{[]} + 9x^{[]} = 6xy^2 - 5x^{[2]}y^{[1]} + 9x^{[3]}[/tex]

Remove square brackets

[tex]6xy^2 - 5x^{[]}y^{[]} + 9x^{[]} = 6xy^2 - 5x^2y + 9x^3[/tex]

The second term is:

[tex]T_2 =5x^2y[/tex]

The exponent of y is 1

On a map, the scale shown is 1 inch : 5 miles. If an island is 2.5 squire inches on the map, what is the actual area of the island? The actual island's area is square miles.​

Answers

Answer:

62.5 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if the scale is 1 in. = 5 mi, then 1 square in. = 25 square miles

so if 1 in^2 = 25 mi^2

then you make a proportion

25/1 = x/2.5

(the square inches on the bottom and the square miles on top)

solving for x gives you

x=62.5 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 1/4 of 28 = 28/4 = 7 coins are quarters.

  2/3 of (28 -7) = (2/3)(21) = 14 coins are dimes

The remaining 28 -7 -14 = 7 coins are nickels

__

b) The amount of money in coins is ...

  7×$0.25 +14×$0.10 +7×$0.05 = $3.50 . . . in coins

__

c) 2 packs of cards at $1.35 each will cost 2×$1.35 = $2.70. After the purchase, the remaining money would be ...

  $3.50 -2.70 = $0.80 . . . remaining

c. Marketing agencies use too many hashtags in a social media post.
d. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is 7 hashtags.

Answers

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 7[/tex]

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu \neq 7[/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.

The amount of time a certain brand of light bulb lasts is normally distributed with a mean of 1600 hours and a standard deviation of 75 hours. What is the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1460 hours, to the nearest thousandth

Answers

The probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1460 hours is 0.0322, rounded to the nearest thousandth

The formula for calculating the z-score is:

z = (x - μ) / σ

Where: x = the value we want to find the probability

μ = the mean of the distribution.

σ = the standard deviation of the distribution.

Now for the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1460 hours,

Here, x = 1460

μ = 1600

σ = 75

Plugging in the values, we get:

z = (1460 - 1600) / 75

= -1.8667

Now, The cumulative probability represents the area under the curve to the left of the z-score.

Looking up the z-score -1.8667 in the standard normal distribution table, we find that the cumulative probability is 0.0322.

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb will last less than 1460 hours is 0.0322, rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

1056.000 radians per minute168.068 revolutions per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear speed 12 mi/h translates to inches per minute as follows:

  (12 mi/h) × (5820 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft) ÷ (60 min/h) = 12,672 in/min

The relationship between arc length and angle is ...

  s = rθ

For a constant radius, the relationship between linear speed and angular speed is ...

  s' = rθ'

  θ' = s'/r = (12,672 in/min)/(12 in) = 1056 rad/min

There are 2π radians in one revolution, so this is ...

  (1056 rad/min) ÷ (2π rad/rev) = 168.068 rev/min

Step-by-step explanation:

(9a^2-24a+16)=(3a - 4 )^2

Therefore the length of each side of the square is (3a - 4 )^2

Answer:

Part A: (3a - 4)^2

Part B: (5a + 6b)(5a - 6b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

It looks like this is the square of a binomial. Now we check it.

9a^2 is the square of 3a.

16 is the square of 4 and of -4.

Check the middle term:

2 * 3a * 4 = 24a

2 * 3a * (-4) = -24a

Since we get -24a when we use 4, the second term of the binomial is 4.

Answer:

9a^2 - 24a + 16 = (3a - 4)^2

Part B:

25a^2 − 36b^2

This is a two-term polynomial. The two terms are perfect squares and there is a subtraction sign between them, so this is the difference of two squares. The difference of two squares factors into the product of a sum and a difference.

25a^2 is the square of 5a.

36b^2 is the square of 6b.

25a^2 − 36b^2 = (5a + 6b)(5a - 6b)

A cash register contains $10 bills and $50 bills with a total value of $1080.If there are 28 bills total, then how many of each does the register contain?

Answers

Answer:

8 ten dollar bills

20 fifty dollar bills

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of 10 dollar bills

y = number of 50 dollar bills

x+y = 28

10x+50y = 1080

Multiply the first equation by -10

-10x -10y = -280

Add this to the second equation

-10x -10y = -280

10x+50y = 1080

-----------------------

 40y = 800

Divide by 40

40y/40 = 800/40

y = 20

Now find x

x+y =28

x+20 = 28

x = 28-20

x= 8

16

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

an area is always calculated by multiplying 2 dimensions.

when changing the dimensions, then the change factors for EACH dimension go into the calculation too.

therefore, when both dimensions of an area are enlarged 4 times, then the area is enlarged 4×4 = 16 times.

this just propagates to the whole surface area of an object, as each individual area of the overall surface area is enlarged by the same factor. and so, the sum of all the individual areas (= altogether the surface area of the object) is also enlarged in total by the same factor.

just think

16×a + 16×b + 16×c ... = 16×(a+b+c+...)

and you understand why.
