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

Required:
a. For a test with a level of significance of 0.10, compute the critical value; set up the appropriate hypotheses and the calculate the p-value of the test
b. Will the null hypothesis will be rejected with a level of significance of 0.10? Explain why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a)

The hypothesis test is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 7.4[/tex][tex]H_1: \mu < 7.4[/tex]

The p-value is of 0.0668.

The critical value is [tex]z^{\ast} = -1.28[/tex]

b) Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of 7.4 minutes, that is:

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

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is lower than 7.4 minutes, that is:

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

We have the standard deviation for the population, hence, 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: [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]

Using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0668.

Also using a calculator, considering a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, the critical value with a significance level of 0.1 is of [tex]z^{\ast} = -1.28[/tex].

Item b:

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

4. Jeremy is starting a juice-bar business. The cost to start the business is $32,000 and the
monthly costs are $4,000. He has been earning $5,600 every month in revenue. In how many
months will Jeremy's business break-even and earn a profit?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Ok so the important thing is to figure out how much he makes each month. if he earns 5,600 but the cost are 4,000 he makes 1,600 every month. To figure out how many months it will take we divide 32,000 by 1,600 to get 20. that is when he breaks even, 20 months. To make a profit it will be 21 months.

O {x|x is an integer}
O {XI-2 s x <5)
O {xl-1 sxs5}

Answers

Answer:

{x| -2 ≤ x < 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the x value in a graph, function e.t.c. From the farthest point to the left of the x-axis, we see -2. And from the farthest point to the right of the x-axis, we see 5. Therefore, the domain is {x| -2 ≤ x < 5}, Option C

Look here for visuals:

The domain of the step function g(x) is (c) {x I -2 <= x <5 }

The domain of a function is the set of input values the function can take.

From the graph, the x-values begin as -2 with a closed circle, and it ends at 5 with an open circle

The open circle means that -5 is not part of the domain, while the closed circle means that -2 is inclusive of the x-values

Hence, the domain of the step function g(x) is (c) {x I -2 <= x <5 }

Answers

The resulting expression from the factorization of 26r³s + 52r^(5) - 39r²s⁴ is; 13r²(2rs + 4r³ - 3s⁴)

We want to factor the algebraic expression;

26r³s + 52r^(5) - 39r²s⁴

Now, we need to first find the highest common factor here and factorize out.

First of all for the letters;

The highest common factor of the letters is r²

Factors of 26 = 1, 2, 13, 26

Factors of 39 = 1, 3, 13, 39

Factors of 52 = 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52

The highest common factor for the 3 numbers is 13.

Thus,in total, the highest common factor for the algebraic expression is 13r².
