Answer:

6 hours per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An employee worked 8 hours on 2 days, 6 hours on 1 day, and 4 hours on 2 days.

To Find: Average number of hours the employee worked per day

Solution:

Number of hours employee worked for $8$ $\text{hours}$ $=2\text{days}$

Total number of hours $=2\times8$

$=16$ $\text{days}$

Number of hours employee worked for $6$ $\text{hours}$ $=1\text{days}$

Total number of hours $=1\times8$

$=6$ $\text{days}$

Number of hours employee worked for $4$ $\text{hours}$ $=2\text{days}$

Total number of hours $=2\times4$

$=8$ $\text{days}$

Total number of hours employee worked $=16+6+8=30$ $\text{hours}$

Average number of hours employee worked $=\frac{\text{total number of hours employee worked}}{\text{total number of days}}$

$\frac{30}{5}$

$=6$ $\text{hours per day}$

average number of hours employee worked is $6$ $\text{hours per day}$

Identify the key characteristics of the parent fifth-root function f (x) = ^5sqrtx. Include the following: domain, range, interv

Andre45 [30]

Given functin is :

$f\left(x\right)=\sqrt[5]{x}$

We know that the domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In given function, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined. Hence domain is all real numbers.

Domain: (-∞,∞)

Range is the set of y-values obtained by plugging values from domain so the range will also same.

Range: (-∞,∞)

If we increase value of x then y-value will also increase so that means it is an INCREASING function. You can also verify that from graph.

It crosses x and y-axes both at the origin

Hence x-intercept=0 and y-intercept=0

Graph is not symmetric about y-axis hence it can't be EVEN

Graph is not symmetric about origin so it is ODD.

There is no breaking point in the graph so that means it is a Continuous function.

There is no hoirzontal or vertical or slant line which seems to be appearing to touch the graph at infinity so there is NO asymptote.

END behaviour means how y-changes when x approaches infinity.

From graph we can see that when x-approaches -∞ then y also approaches ∞.

when x-approaches +∞ then y also approaches +∞.

Identify whether the series summation of 12 open parentheses 3 over 5 close parentheses to the I minus 1 power from 1 to infinit

Finger [1]

∑ from 1 to infinity of 12(3/5)^(i - 1)
Since the common ratio is less than 1, the series is convegent. [i.e. 3/5 < 1]

Sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by a/(1 - r); where a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

Sum = 12/(1 - 3/5) = 12/(2/5) = 30.

In the book Essentials of Marketing Research, William R. Dillon, Thomas J. Madden, and Neil H. Firtle discuss a research proposa

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

$z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500$

$p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$X_{1}=25$ represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

$X_{2}=9$ represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

$n_{1}=140$ sample 1

$n_{2}=60$ sample 2

$p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179$ represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

$p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15$ represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17$

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500$

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided $\alpha$ , but we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617$

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

Answer:

A 90% confidence interval of the true mean is [$119.86, $123.34].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an irate student complained that the cost of textbooks was too high. He randomly surveyed 36 other students and found that the mean amount of money spent on textbooks was $121.60.

Also, the standard deviation of the population was $6.36.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean amount of money spent on textbooks = $121.60

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = $6.36

n = sample of students = 36

$\mu$ = population mean

<em>Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used One-sample z-test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.</em>

<em />

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90 {As the critical value of z at 5% level

of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}

P(-1.645 < $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.645) = 0.90

P( $-1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X-\mu}$ < $1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

P( $\bar X-1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X+1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for</u> $\mu$ = [ $\bar X-1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ , $\bar X+1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ]

= [ $121.60-1.645 \times {\frac{6.36}{\sqrt{36} } }$ , $121.60+1.645 \times {\frac{6.36}{\sqrt{36} } }$ ]

= [$119.86, $123.34]

Therefore, a 90% confidence interval of the true mean is [$119.86, $123.34].
