Z(q) = 4q + 1/2...The zoomster function z used in space flight engineering is defined above. If, for some number u, z(u + 1/2) =

1/2, then what is the value of u ?

We are given the equation:

<span>Z(q) = 4q + ½ ---> 1</span>

The equation for z(u + 1/2) is obtained by substituting q with u + ½ in the equation, therefore we can say that:

<span>q = u + ½ ---> 2</span>

Substituting this value into equation # 1:

Z = 4 (u + ½) + ½ = z (u + 1/2)

4 u + 2 + ½ = z (u + 1/2)

<span>Since it was given that z (u + 1/2) = ½ then,</span>

4 u + 2 + ½ = ½

4 u + 2.5 = 0.5

4 u = -2

u = -1/2 (ANSWER)

A hypothesis regarding the weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is that the mean is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven i

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.557-6.6}{\frac{1.177}{\sqrt{7}}}=2.151$

$p_v =2*P(t_{6}>2.151)=0.075$

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 6.6 pounds.

Based on this the best conclusion is:

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, 6.6

We can calculate the sample mean and standard deviation with these formulas:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

The results obtained are given below:

$\bar X=7.557$ represent the sample mean

$s=1.177$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=7$ sample size

$\mu_o =6.6$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is 6.6, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 6.6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 6.6$

Compute the test statistic

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{7.557-6.6}{\frac{1.177}{\sqrt{7}}}=2.151$

Now we need to find the degrees of freedom for the t distirbution given by:

$df=n-1=7-1=6$

What do you conclude?

a. Use the critical value approach.

Assuming 95% of confidence and $\alpha=0.05$ we can use the t distribution with 6 degrees of freedom in order to calculate a critical value that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the tails of the distribution. We can use excel and the code to do this is given by: "=T.INV(1-0.025,6)". And we got the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}=2.446$ .

Since our calculates value < critical value. We fail to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 5% of significance, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 6.6 pounds.

b. Use the p-value approach

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

$p_v =2*P(t_{6}>2.151)=0.075$

If we compare the p value and a significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 6.6 pounds.

Based on this the best conclusion is:

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The cost for children under twelve at a certain buffet restaurant is a base charge of a dollar plus twenty-five cents for each y

Nady [450]

Answer:

$Cost = 1 + 0.25y$

$Cost =3.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Base\ Amount = \$ 1$

$Additional = 25cents$ of child's age

Solving (1):

Determine the cost function.

Represent the years as y.

So, we have:

$Additional = 25cents$ * y

Convert 25 cents to dollars.

$25 cents = 25 * \$0.01$

$25 cents = \$0.25$

So, we have:

$Additional = \$0.25 * y$

The cost amount is then:

$Cost = Base\ Amount + Additional$

$Cost = 1 + 0.25y$ --- This is the cost function

Solving (b): Cost of 9 years old.

In this case;

$y = 9$

Substitute 9 for y in $Cost = 1 + 0.25y$

$Cost =1 + 0.25 * 9$

$Cost =1 + 2.25$

$Cost =3.25$ --- This is the cost for a child of 9

Susan wants to make 2 square flags to sell at a crafts fair. The fabric she wants to buy is 3 meters wide. She doesn't want any

DerKrebs [107]

<span> B the smallest piece of cloth that she can make two squares from is one that is two squares wide. So if twice the width of the square is the width of the cloth.The right side of the equation could be clearly written as 2(x^2) to keep it from being confused with (2x)^2.
