A drug company is considering marketing a new local anesthetic. The effective time of the anesthetic the drug company is currently producing has a normal distribution with a mean of 7.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. The chemistry of the new anesthetic is such that the effective time should be normally distributed with the same standard deviation, but the mean effective time may be lower. If it is lower, the drug company will market the new anesthetic; otherwise, they will continue to produce the older one. A sample size of 36 results in a sample mean of 7.1. A hypothesis test will be done to help make the decision. True or False: If the level of significance had been chosen as 0.05, the company would market the new anesthetic.

Answers

Answer 1

Testing the hypothesis using the z-distribution, it is found that the statement is False.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is still of 7.4 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 7.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is of less than 7.4 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 7.4[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the population, thus, the z-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\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. [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are as follows: [tex]\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36[/tex].

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.5[/tex]

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean of 7.1 or lower, which is the p-value of z = -1.5.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.5 has a p-value of 0.0668.

Since the p-value of the test is 0.0668 > 0.05, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the time is lower, hence the statement is False.

Answers

Answer 6 years. Explanation if lisa only pays $20 minimum monthly payment, it would take her 76 months just to get done with her payment

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the amortisation formula:

A = P (r(1+r)^n)/((1+r)^n - 1)

swap in your numbers

p = 969.16

A = 20

n = 0.1524/12

20 = 969.16((0.1524/12) (1+(0.1524/12))^n) / ((1+(0.1524/12))^n - 1)

Then solve for n

n = 72 months

n = 6 years

A breakfast cereal producer makes its most popular product by combining just raisins and flakes in each box of cereal.

Find the probability that the total amount of product is less than 575\,\text{g}575g575, start text, g, end text.
You may round your answer to two decimal places.
P(T<575)\approx

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.When two normal variables are added, the mean is the sum of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

In this problem, the product is composed by flakes and raisins, and we have that:

[tex]\mu_F = 370, \sigma_F = 24, \mu_R = 170, \sigma_R = 7[/tex]

Hence, the distribution for the total amount of product has mean and standard deviation given by:

[tex]\mu = \mu_F + \mu_R = 370 + 170 = 540[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_F^2 + \sigma_R^2} = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = 25[/tex]

The probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g is the p-value of Z when X = 575, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{575 - 540}{25}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9192.

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g.

Answer:

Area = 23.12 cm²

perimeter = 24.28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

top shaded region is circular arc with 90° sector angle

so perimeter of arc is 90 / 360 * 2πr

here radius of arc is half the length of square side

r = 6.8/2 = 3.4

top area shaded perimeter = 90/360 * 2 * 3.14 * 3.4

= 1/4 * 2 * 3.14 * 3.4

= 5.338

bottom region perimeter is also same

total perimeter of shaded region is = side + side + two arcs

= 6.8 + 6.8 + 2 * 5.338

= 13.6 + 10.676

= 24.276

= 24.28

Area of top shaded region is 90/360 * πr²

A = 1/4 * 3.14 * 3.4²

= 9.0746

bottom shaded region area is half of area of square - area of bottom arc

= 6.8 * 3.4  - 9.0746

= 23.12 - 9.0746

= 14.0454

so total area of shaded region is 9.0746 + 14.0454

= 23.12

or you can just calculate area as half of area of total square = 6.8² / 2

= 23.12

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2x+4y= 14 a need goes through (4,6)

Answers

Answer:  4x-2y = 4

This can be simplified to 2x-y = 2

Solving for y leads to y = 2x-2

========================================================

Explanation:

Anything perpendicular to Ax+By = C is of the form Bx-Ay = D

The given equation 2x+4y = 14 tells us that A = 2, B = 4, C = 14.

So Bx-Ay = D updates to 4x-2y = D.

We'll plug in the coordinates of the given point (x,y) = (4,6) to solve for D.

4x-2y = D

D = 4x-2y

D = 4(4)-2(6)

D = 16-12

D = 4

So 4x-2y = D updates to 4x-2y = 4

Optionally, we can divide each term by 2 to go from 4x-2y = 4 to 2x-y = 2

If we wanted to solve for y, then we'd get y = 2x-2

What is an exponential function?

An exponential function is a Mathematical function in the form f (x) = aˣ, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0.

Given,

x: 0, 1, 2, 3

y: 5, 15, 45, 135

We have to find the exponential equation:

The exponential function in the form:

y = a × b ˣ

y value of x as 0 is 5.

This is the a value in the equation.

The ratio of values between x as 1 and x as 0 is 15/5 which is equal to 3. This is the value of b in the equation.

Therefore, the equation will become:

y = 5 × 3 ˣ

Hence the equation of the exponential function is y = 5(3)ˣ

Angle ZXY = Angle ZYX

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

106 + 2 same angles (-106) = 180 (-106)  (Subtract 106 by both sides)

2 same angles (/ 2) = 74 (/ 2)   (Divide 2 by both sides)

V = 37

Answer:

The value of v is 37°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that △ XYZ is an isosceles triangle where both sides have the equal angles. The total angle of △ is 180°. Let ∠ZXY and ∠ZYX be the same angles:

Let ∠ZXY = v, ∠ZYX = v, ∠ XZY = 106°,

∠ZXY + ∠ZYX + ∠XZY = 180°

v + v + 106° = 180°

2v + 106° = 180°

2v = 180° - 106°

2v = 74°

Answer:

x = 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle with two given exterior angles, m ∠107° and m ∠110°:

We can use the exterior angle theorem where it states that the measure of each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the opposite and remote interior angles.

Start by finding the supplement of m ∠110°, that will serve as the other remote interior angle.

The supplement of ∠110° is:

∠110° + y  = 180°

Where y = represents the other unknown interior angle.

Subtract ∠110° from both sides:

∠110° - ∠110°  + y  = 180° - ∠110°

y =  70°

Therefore, the other remote interior angle is y = 70°. Now, we can determine the value of x by establishing the following equation:

107° = x° + 70°

Subtract 70 from both sides:

107° - 70° = x° + 70°- 70°

x = 37°

Answer:

  A. C(F) = 5/9F -(17 7/9)

  B. slope: 5/9

  C. y-intercept: -17 7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

The question tells us that the independent variable is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Then the given ordered pairs are ...

  (F, C) = (32, 0) and (212, 100)

The slope can be found from the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1) / (x2 -x1)

  m = (100 -0)/(212 -32) = 100/180 = 5/9

The y-intercept can be found from the slope-intercept equation for a line:

  y = mx +b

  b = y -mx

Using the first point, we have ...

  b = 0 -(5/9)(32) = -160/9 = -17 7/9

Using the found values for m and b, the slope-intercept equation can be written ...

  C(F) = 5/9F -(17 7/9)

__

B.

The slope was found in part A to be 5/9. This means each degree Fahrenheit corresponds to 5/9 of a degree Celsius.

__

C.

The y-intercept was found in part A to be -17 7/9. This means 0 °F corresponds to -17 7/9 °C.
