Required:
a. Determine the mean, median, and the standard deviation.
b. Determine the coefficient of skewness using Pearson.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = 21.413

Median = 16.5

Standard deviation = 19.182

0.768

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Ordered data, X : 4.3 6.1 7.4 10.7 13.1 13.6 14.7 16.5 17.1 17.4 18.7 22.3 36.7 43.2 79.4

The sample size, n = 15

The mean, m= ΣX / n = 321.2 / 15 = 21.413

The median, Md:

1/2(n + 1)th term

1/2 (15 +1) th term

1/2(16) = 8th term

Median = $16.5

The standard deviation, s = √[Σ(x - m)²/ n]

The standard deviation obtained using a calculator is ; 19.182

Coefficient of skewness : = 3(m - Md) / s

= 3(21.413 - 16.5) / 19.182

= 14.739 / 19.182

= 0.768

Answers

Answer:

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a: \mu > 130[/tex]

B. The value of the test statistic is [tex]t = 1[/tex]

C. The p-value is of 0.1636.

D. The critical value is [tex]t_c = 1.711[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Customers at Costco spend an average of $130 per trip (The Wall Street Journal, October 6, 2010). One of Costco's rivals would like to determine whether its customers spend more per trip.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is the same as Costco's, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 130[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is more than 130, that is:

[tex]H_a: \mu > 130[/tex]

B. Calculate the value of the test statistic.

The test statistic is:

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

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

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

130 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 130[/tex]

A survey of the receipts of 25 customers found that the sample mean was $135.25. Assume that the population standard deviation is $10.50 and that spending follows a normal distribution.

This means that [tex]n = 25, X = 135.25, s = 10.50[/tex]

Then

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

[tex]t = \frac{135.25 - 130}{\frac{10.50}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 1[/tex]

The value of the test statistic is [tex]t = 1[/tex]

C. Calculate the p-value.

Test if the mean is more than a value, so a right-tailed test.

Sample of 25, so 25 - 1 = 24 degrees of freedom.

Test statistic of t = 1.

Using a t-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.1636.

D. Calculate the critical value

24 df, using the standard 0.05 significance level.

Using a critical value calculator, the critical value is [tex]t_c = 1.711[/tex]

Celeste is planning to buy a new bedroom set. Because sales tax rates can vary from town to town,

The price of the new bedroom set that Celeste wants to buy is $2,734. The sales tax rates in the
two cities at the time of purchase are given in the table.

Answers

Answer:

  $13.67, Valdosta, Tallahassee

Step-by-step explanation:

The total sales tax rate in Valdosta is 4% +3% = 7%.

The total sales tax rate in Tallahassee is 6% +1.5% = 7.5%, which is 0.5% higher than in Valdosta. That percentage makes a difference in the final price of ...

  0.5% × $2734 = 0.005×$2734 = $13.67

Celeste will save $13.67 in sales tax if she makes her purchase in Valdosta rather than Tallahassee .

(b) a number loss than four
(c) a square number
(d) a prime number
Help please !!!

Answers

Answers:

(a) 1/10(b) 3/10(c) 3/10(d) 2/5

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

Explanations:

Part (a)

There is only one disc labeled "3" out of 10 total. So we end up with the probability 1/10.

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

Part (b)

The list of numbers less than 4 are {1,2,3} which are 3 items out of 10 discs. We end up with 3/10.

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

Part (c)

A square number, aka a perfect square, smaller than 10 is the list {1,4,9}

Since 1 = 1^2, 4 = 2^2 and 9 = 3^2

Like part (b), we end up with the same result of 3/10.

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

Part (d)

The list of primes smaller than 10 is {2, 3, 5, 7}. Notice that 1 is not prime.

So we end up with 4/10 = 2/5.

What is an
equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -1) and (6, 1)?

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is  y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

y2 is 1

y1 is -1

x2 is 6

x1 is 0

So it is 1 - (-1) / 6 - 0, or 2/6, or 1/3

The slope is 1/3.

The y-intercept is the place where x is 0. It shows the y-intercept here as

(0, -1),  The y-intercept is  -1

Slope form is y = mx + b. m is the slope, 1/3, and b is the y-intercept, -1

So the equation is: y = 1/3x -1

A random sample of 50 male employees is taken at the end of a year and the mean
number of hours of absenteeism for the years is found to be 63 hours. A similar sample of
50 female employees has mean of 66 hours. Could these samples be drawn from a
population with the same mean and standard deviation 10 hours?​

Answers

Answer:

Yes the samples can be drawn from a population with the same mean and standard deviation 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Sample mean for male employees; x1¯ = 63

Sample mean for female employees; x2¯ = 66

Sample size = 50

Standard deviation; σ = 10

First,let's define the hypotheses of the question;

Null hypothesis; H0: μ1 = μ2

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2

Now, let's find the test statistic from the formula;

z = (x1¯ - x2¯)/(σ√(2/n))

Thus;

z = (63 - 66)/(10√(2/50))

z = -3/2 = - 1.5

Now, we are not given the significance value but usually when it is not given, we can adopt α = 0.05.

Thus, from online p-value from z-score calculator using; z = -1.5; α = 0.05; two tailed test; we have;

p-value = 0.13364

The p-value is greater than the significance value and thus we will fial to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that these samples can be drawn from a population with the same mean and standard deviation

70/2=35

Property: All straight lines from the centre of a circle are the same length, hence the triangles are isoceles.

Answer:  35 degrees

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

Explanation:

Inscribed angle ABC = 55 subtends the minor arc AC which is 110 degrees (use the inscribed angle theorem).

The inscribed angle BDC subtends the minor arc CB, which we'll call x for now.

The two minor arcs (AC and CB) combine to form the arc ACB. Note how this is a semicircle since AB is a diameter. For any semicircle, the arc measure is 180 degrees.

So,

(arc AC) + (arc CB) = arc ACB

110 + x = 180

x = 180-110

x = 70

This cuts in half to 35 which is the inscribed angle BDC, again we're using the inscribed angle theorem here.
