The point R is halfway between the integers on the number line below and represents the number ____. (Use the hyphen for negativ
e numbers and write the answer as a decimal, such as -6.4). Number line from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 1 is shown. In between the whole numbers, there should be a tick mark. Only the whole numbers are labeled. A point labeled R is placed halfway between the 3rd and 4th tick marks to the left of 0.
1 answer:
Answer: - 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the attached number line has reference, the distance between each integer on the number line attached is 1, and the numbers are ordered in ascending order from - 10 to + 10. The point R exists in between the point marked - 2 and - 3 respectively. This shows that that point R is a number between the two integers, a number greater than - 3 but less than - 2.
From the picture attached the blue dot sits directly at the midpoint between - 3 and - 2. Hence the position can be a obtained by averaging the two integers.
(-3 + - 2) / 2 = - 5/2 = - 2.5

Answer:
a. Descriptive statistics for the sample.
n= 9
mean X[bar]= 20.36
median Me= 20.30
min: 19.70
max: 21.40
standad deviation S= 0.61
b. 95% Confidence interval [19.88; 20.83]
c. Decision: Support H₀
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
I don't have excel so I cannot install PHstat, I've used a statistic software called Infostat for the calculations.
There was a random sample of 9 bottles of shampoo taken to test if the process is operating correctly. If it is, the bottles should weight on average 20 ounces (this would be our study parameter)
The study variable is X: the weight of a bottle of shampoo.
X~N(μ;σ²)
a.
Descriptive statistics for the sample.
n= 9
mean X[bar]= 20.36
median Me= 20.30
min: 19.70
max: 21.40
standad deviation S= 0.61
b. 95% Confidence interval.
Since the variable has a normal distribution and the population variance is unknown, the statistic to use to construct this interval is the Students t:
X[bar] ± * (S/√n)
20.36 ± * (0.61/√9)
[19.88; 20.83]
c. You have to test the hypothesis that the production is operating correctly, if it is so, then:
H₀: μ = 20
H₁: μ ≠ 20
α: 0.05
The statistic value is t= 1.74
p-value: 0.1198
When you use the p-value to decide on a statistical hypothesis, you should always contrast it with the level of significance using the following rule:
If p-value ≤ α, then you reject the null hypothesis.
If p-value > α, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.
Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, you do not reject the null hypothesis. This means that the average weight of the shampoo bottles is 20 ounces, i.e. the process is operating correctly.
I hope it helps!
