A quality control engineer at a potato chip company tests the bag filling machine by weighing bags of potato chips. Not every ba

g contains exactly the same weight. But if more than 15% of bags are over-filled then they stop production to fix the machine. They define over-filled to be more than 1 ounce above the weight on the package. The engineer weighs 100 bags and finds that 21 of them are over-filled. He plans to test the hypotheses H 0: p = 0.15 versus H a : p > 0.15. What is the test statistic?

Ahat [919]2 years ago

Answer:

z=\frac{0.21 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}}=1.68  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=21 represent the number of bags overfilled

\hat p=\frac{21}{100}=0.21 estimated proportion of overfilled bags

p_o=0.15 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test if the true proportion of overfilled bags is higher than 0.15.:  

Null hypothesis:p =0.7  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.15  

The statistic for this case is:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

And replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.21 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}}=1.68

On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C is shown. Point A is at (3, 4), point B is at (negative 5, negative 2), and point C is at
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The perimeter of Δ ABC is 20 + 2\sqrt{10} units ⇒ Last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of any triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides

The formula of distance between two points is d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

In Δ ABC

∵ A = (3 , 4) , B = (-5 , -2) , C = (5 , -2)

∵ AB = 10 units

∵ AC = 2\sqrt{10}

- To find its perimeter find the length of BC

∵ x_{1} = -5 and y_{1} = -2

∵ x_{2} = 5 and y_{2} = -2

- By using the formula above

∴ BC=\sqrt{(5--5)^{2}+(-2--2)^{2}}=\sqrt{(5+5)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}

∴ BC=\sqrt{(10)^{2}+(0)^{2}}=\sqrt{100}

∴ BC = 10 units

To find the perimeter add the lengths of the three sides

∵ P = AB + BC + AC

∴ P = 10 + 10 + 2\sqrt{10}

- Add like terms

∴ P = 20 + 2\sqrt{10}

The perimeter of Δ ABC is 20 + 2\sqrt{10} units

A frequency distribution is a tabular summary of data showing the a. number of items in several classes. b. relative percentage
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The answer is a: Number of items in several classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency distributions are tables that represent the number of times a specific data, number object etc appears in a sample. So for example if we have this data

2,2,4,4,6,6,6,8,8,10

The frequency distributions is

Number   frequency

2                  2

4                  2

6                  3

8                   2

10                  1

The other options are identical (c and are the same as percentages can be expressed as fractions. Relative percentages or fractions are  tables that express the weight that each category has in the entire data. An example for our data would be: (10 are the total number of obs)

Number             Fraction/%

2                          2/10 or 20%

4                         2/10 or 20%

6                          3/10 or 30%

8                           2/10 or 20%

10                            1/10 or 10%

Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.
Ghella [55]

Answer:  The required inequality is x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22. and its solution is x>8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 22 articles for the school newspaper.

Also, Heloise has written \frac{1}{4} as many articles as Mustafa has and Gia has written \frac{3}{2} as many articles as Mustafa has.

We are to write an inequality to determine the number of articles, m, Mustafa could have written for the school newspaper.  Also, to solve the inequality.

Since m denotes the number of articles that Mustafa could have written. Then, according to the given information, we have

x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22.

And the solution of the above inequality is as follows :

x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4x+x+6x}{4}>22\\\\\\\Rightarrow 11x>88\\\\\Rightarrow x>\dfrac{88}{11}\\\\\Rightarrow x>8.

Thus, the required inequality is x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x>22. and its solution is x>8.
