A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m. A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions. A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m. Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m. Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A brochure claims that the average maximum height a certain type of plant is 0.7 m.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{0}: \mu = 0.7[/tex]

A gardener suspects that this estimate is not accurate locally due to soil conditions.

Hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m, which means that the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_{a}: \mu \neq 0.7[/tex]

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.7 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.7[/tex]

A random sample of 43 plants is taken. The mean height of the plants in the sample is 0.65m.

This means, respectively, that [tex]n = 43, X = 0.65[/tex]

Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.2 m.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.65 - 0.7}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.64[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

Since we are testing that the mean is different of a value, and z is negative, the pvalue of the test is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -1.64

z = -1.64 has a pvalue of 0.0505

2*0.0505 = 0.101

Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean is different from 0.7m.

0.101 > 0.01, which means that we accept the null hypothesis, that is, that the population mean is not different from 0.7.

g Based on data from the Garbage Project conducted by the Midwestern State University the weights of paper discarded by the households in a certain residential area weekly is Normally distributed with the average of 7.95 lb and the standard deviation of 3.12 lb. Which value separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area

Answers

Answer:

The value of 14.36 lb separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set 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]

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with the average of 7.95 lb and the standard deviation of 3.12 lb.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7.95, \sigma = 3.12[/tex]

Which value separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area?

This is the 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98. So X when Z = 2.054.

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

[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 7.95}{3.12}[/tex]

[tex]X - 7.95 = 2.054*3.12[/tex]

[tex]X = 14.36[/tex]

The value of 14.36 lb separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area.

In 2012 the NYC misdemeanor crimes totaled 374,364, in 2013 the total was 359,350. What was the percent change?

Answers

Answer:

-4%

Step-by-step explanation:

final value - initial value / initial value

359350 - 374364 / 374364

= -15014 /  374364

= -0.04010535201

-0.04010535201 x 100 = -4.01053520103

The value of percent change is -4%.

What is Percentage?

A relative value indicating hundredth part of any quantity is called percentage.

Given that;

In 2012, the NYC misdemeanor crimes totaled 374,364.

And, In 2013, the total was 359,350.

Now.

The percent change = ( Final value - Initial value / Initial value ) x 100

                                =( 359,350 - 374,364 / 374,364 ) x 100

                                = (-15014 /  374364) x 100

                                = -0.04 x 100

                                = - 4%

Thus, The value of percent change is -4%.

Steph curry makes 90.3% of his free throws
If he attempts 3 free throws, what is the probability he makes the first one and misses the second and third?

Answers

Answer:

The probability is roughly 0.85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation requires the combination of the probabilities in question.

The probability that Steph will make a throw is 90.3%, and from this we can conclude that the amount missed, or the probability of missing will be the remaining, or [tex]100\%-90.3\%=9.7\%[/tex].

Let's combine the probabilities, remembering a percentage simply means a number over 100:

[tex]P=\frac{90.3}{100} *\frac{9.7}{100}*\frac{9.7}{100}=\frac{90.3*9.7*9.7}{100*100*100}\\\\P=\frac{8496.327}{1 000 000}=0.008496327\\\\P(\%)=0.008496327*100=0.8496327\%[/tex]

Tanner is an 8th grader in Texas and wants to attend Stanford University after he graduates from
high school. Stanford is a private university and one year of tuition cost $46,320. He plans to attend
Stanford for four years and graduate with a bachelor's degree. His parents have committed to giving
him $8,000 each year towards tuition. Tanner plans to save for the next four years to prepare for the
cost. Determine the minimum amount of money he will need to save each month to pay for one year
of tuition.

Answers

Tanner will have to save $3,193.34 per month for 4 years to pay his tuition for Stanford.

Tanner's tuition over 4 years to get his Bachelor's degree all together will cost $185,280 (multiply 46,320×4). His parents will pay $32,000 (multiply 8,000×4) of his whole tuition. If we do the equation $185,280-$32,000 we get $153,280 which is what Tanner will have to pay. There are 48 months in 4 years. To find the answer you must solve the problem 48x= $153,280. To solve the problem divide both sides by 48. The answer to this equation is technically $3,193.3333333333 but for simplicity's sake we can round to $3,193.34. That is why the answer to this question is $3,193.34 per month of savings.
