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.

What is 55% of 20?!?!?!

Answers

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

use the method:

is/of and %/100

plug in 55 for the percent, and 20 for 'of'

should be: x/20 and 55/100

cross multiply to get 11.

 

1%of 20 is 0.2 0.2x5=1         5% of 20 is 1

10% of 20 is 2 2x5=10          50% of 20 is 10

since it says "at-least" that is implying that, that is the estimate and there is most likely more people and it is not exactly 1,000,000,000 so we need to use ≥ to show that it could be greater than or equal to 1,000,000,000.

1. Mark each of the following graphs as (a) a function, but not one-to-one, (b) one-to-one function, or (c) not a function. In each case, explain how you know. (1 point each)​

Answers

Answer:

  (a) a function, but not one-to-one

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is of a function if it passes the vertical line test: a vertical line intersects the graph in at most 1 point.

The function is one-to-one if it passes the horizontal line test: a horizontal line intersects the graph in at most 1 point.

__

Here, the graph consists of a series of non-overlapping horizontal lines. It passes the vertical line test (is a function), but a horizontal line can intersect the graph in an infinite number of points (is not one-to-one).

The graph is a function, but not one-to-one.

For a project in her Geometry class, Kylie uses a mirror on the ground to measure the
height of her school's flagpole. She walks a distance of 14.25 meters from the flagpole,
then places a mirror on flat on the ground, marked with an X at the center. She then
steps 1.35 meters to the other side of the mirror, until she can see the top of the
flagpole clearly marked in the X. Her partner measures the distance from her eyes to
the ground to be 1.25 meters. How tall is the flagpole? Round your answer to the
nearest hundredth of a meter.

Answers

The project in her Geometric class is an illustration of equivalent ratios

The approximated height of the flagpole is 13.19 meters

The given parameters are:

Distance from flagpole (D) = 14.25

Distance to the other side of the mirror (d) = 1.35

Kylie's height (h) = 1.25

To calculate the height (H) of the flagpole, we make use of the following equivalent ratios

[tex]\mathbf{D :d = H :h}[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]\mathbf{14.25 :1.35 = H :1.25}[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{14.25 }{1.35 }= \frac{H }{1.25}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 1.25

[tex]\mathbf{H = 1.25 \times \frac{14.25 }{1.35 }}[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]\mathbf{H = 13.19 }[/tex]

Hence, the approximated height of the flagpole is 13.19 meters

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

these are both quadratic curves, parabolas, and factorization means to express the 2 terms as multiplication with each other, so that the result would be the simplified function. in other words : find the two factor terms that make the whole function.

the advantage of factorization is to see the 2 solutions for y=0 right away.

the general form is

y = (x + a)(x + b)

and the y=0 solutions are then simply x = -a and x = -b.

in example 3 we have 2 different y=0 solutions, seemingly at x = 1 and x = 5.

that makes the factorization :

y = (x - 1)(x - 5)

when x becomes one of these values, the corresponding factor becomes 0 and therefore y becomes 0 too.

in example 4 we have only one y=0 solution (or so it seems; in fact there are still formally 2 solutions, they are just equal).

it is seemingly at x = -2.

since both solutions are equal, we have also two equal factors.

that makes the factorization

y = (x + 2)(x + 2) = (x + 2)²
