A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 430 gram setting. It

is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 21 bag sample had a mean of 421 grams with a standard deviation of 15. Assume the population is normally distributed. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Find the P-value of the test statistic. You may write the P-value as a range using interval notation,

Answer: We reject H₀  we find that the machine is underflling the bottles

P ( 421 ± 4,3376 )

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume a normal distribution

Population mean 430 grs

Unknown standard deviation

We have a one tail condition "underfilling"

And our test is:

Null hypothesis      H₀         X  =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis    Hₐ     X  < μ₀

We must use t student distribution and find the interval

X ± t*(s/√n)

In that expession   X is the sample mean  421 grs, "s"  is sample standard deviation, n is sample size, then

421 ±  t * ( 15 / √21 )          (1)

We go to t table and look for t value for  α = 0,1 and df = 21 - 1   df = 20

we get t (remember it is a one tail test)  t = 1,325, plugging this value in equation (1) we get the interval

421 ± 1,325 * ( 15/√21 )    ⇒  421 ±  1,325 * ( 3,2737)

421 ± 4,3376  

421 + 4,3376  = 425,34

421 - 4,3376  = 416,66

As we can see the mean value of the population 430 grs is not inside the interval  [ 416,66 ;  425,34 ] then we can assure the machine is underfilling the bags, and not meeting the setting spec

The sets of data below show the heights, in inches, of students in two different preschool classes. A box plot titled Class 1. T
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

• Because the sets are not symmetrical, the IQR should be used to compare the data sets.

• Because the sets contain outliers, the median should be used to compare the data sets.

• The mean and mode cannot be accurately determined based on the type of data display.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we observe the set of given data above, we can denote that the data obtained by comparing the height of students from class 1 and class 2 would not be similar hence we can say this obtained data is not symmetrical.

Due to the fact that this data is is obtained from different classes it is certain that there would be variations in the data when measuring the heights of the students and an error may occurs. These variations are referred to as OUTLIERS.

Therefore, Median or Interquartile range is the appropriate measure to be used for comparing the data sets.

A police officer claims that the proportion of accidents that occur in the daytime (versus nighttime) at a certain intersection
Roman55 [17]

Answer: -1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given description, we have

Population proportion : p=0.35

Sample size : n= 500

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{156}{500}=0.312

Test statistic for population proportion :-

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.312-0.35}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.35(1-0.35)}{500}}}\\\\=-1.78146747757\ \ \text{(Simplified)}\\\\\approx-1.78

Hence, the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion= -1.78

Suppose that a manager is interested in estimating the average amount of money customers spend in her store. After sampling 36 t
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: Which statement gives a valid interpretation of the interval?

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by the 36 sampled customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that the mean amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that a randomly selected customer will spend between S38.01 and $44.29.

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29
