Answer:

It has millions of tickets. On each ticket is written a number a dollar amount. The exact average and SD are unknown but are estimated from the sample to be $20,000 and $5,000 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

sample size n = 1600

sample mean \overline x = 20000

standard deviation = 5000

The objective is to choose from the given option about what most closely resembles the relevant box model.

The correct answer is:

It has millions of tickets. On each ticket is written a number a dollar amount. The exact average and SD are unknown but are estimated from the sample to be $20,000 and $5,000 respectively.

However, if draws are made without replacement, the best estimate of the average amount for the bride will be $20,000

Similarly, the standard error for the sample mean = \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

= \dfrac{5000}{\sqrt{1600}}

= \dfrac{5000}{40}}

the standard error for the sample mean = 125

Direct Mailing Company sells computers and computer parts by mail. The company claims that more than 90% of all orders are maile
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

We conclude that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received which means the company's claim is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the company claims that more than 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received. The quality control department at the company often takes samples to check if this claim is valid.

A recently taken sample of 175 orders showed that 161 of them were mailed within 72 hours.

<u><em>Let p = percentage of all orders that are mailed within 72 hours.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 90%   {means that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 90%   {means that more than 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                                T.S.  = \frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = proportion of orders that were mailed within 72 hours in a sample of 175 =  \frac{161}{175}\times 100  = 92%

           n = sample of orders = 175

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.92-0.90}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.92(1-0.92)}{175} } } } }

                               =  0.975

The value of the test statistics is 0.975.

<em>Now at 1% significance level, the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as 0.975 < 2.3263, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received which means the company's claim is not true.

A company claims that its tablet computers have an average recharge time of 3 hours. Using a random sample of 50 company tablet
kondor19780726 [428]

Solution:

The Statement made by company about it's tablet computer,

Average recharge time = 3 Hours

As, to check whether the company claim is illegal or true

A random sample of 50 company tablet computers, and their recharging time is noted.

As, we have taken random sample , so standard deviation will come into consideration whether company claim is true or false.

Mean recharge time of 50 company tablet computers=  2.5 hours

Standard deviation of 50 company tablet computers=  0.3 hours

So, Mean standard deviation =

   2.5 \pm0.3\\\\ 2.5 -0.3 \leq {\text{Mean standard deviation}}\leq 2.5+0.3\\\\ 2.2\leq {\text{Mean standard deviation}}\leq 2.8

So, Claim made by company , that its tablet computers have an average recharge time of 3 hours is  Approximately true.

As , there is fluctuation of (3 hours - 2.2 hours =3-2.12=48 minutes ) and (3 hours -2.8 hours=3-2.48=12 minutes), which is not so much ,so we can believe on this company and buy the product (that is tablet computers) of this company.
