Suppose that a restaurant chain claims that its bottles of ketchup contain 24 ounces of ketchup on average, with a standard devi

ation of 0.8 ounces. If you took a sample of the 49 bottles of ketchup what would be the approximate 95% confidence interval for a mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample?

Answer:

Confidence Interval = (23.776, 24.224)

Step-by-step explanation:

Restaurant chain claims that its bottles of ketchup contain 24 ounces of ketchup on average.

⇒ Mean = 24 ounces.

Standard Deviation = 0.8

Number of bottles used for sample = 49

⇒ n = 49

Confidence level = 95%

Corresponding z value with 95% confidence level = 1.96

Now, confidence interval is given by the following expression :

Mean \pm z^*\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=24\pm1.96\times \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{49}}\\\\=24\pm 0.224

Hence, Confidence Interval = (23.776, 24.224)

Which graph represents the piecewise-defined function?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

The given piecewise function is,

y=\begin{cases}-\frac{4}{5}x-3 & \text{ if } x

It means if x<0, then

f(x)=-\frac{4}{5}x-3

If x\geq2, then

f(x)=3x-10

Since the f(x) is defined for x<0 and x\geq2, therefore the function f(x) is not defined for 0\leq x.

From the graph 2, 3 and 4 we can easily noticed that for each value of x there exist a unique value of y, therefore the function is defined for all values of x, which is not true according to the given piecewise function.

Only in figure the value of y not exist when x lies between 0 to 2, including 0. It means the function is not defined for 0\leq x, hence the first option is correct.

Test the given claim. Identify the null​ hypothesis, alternative​ hypothesis, test​ statistic, P-value, and then state the concl
never [62]

Answer:

a) Failed to reject the null hypothesis (P-value=0.09).

b) The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:

-0.0599\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.0124

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have to perform a hypothesis test for the difference of proportions.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1\geq\pi_2\\\\H_1: \pi_1

The significance level is 0.05.

The proportion of the passenger cars owners is:

p_1=\frac{239}{2142} =0.1116

The proportion of commercial truck owners is:

p_2=\frac{54}{399}=0.1353

The weigthed average p is

p=\frac{n_1p_1+n_2p_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{239+54}{2142+399}=0.1153

The estimated standard deviation is

s=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\frac{p(1-p)}{n_2}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.1153(1-0.1153)}{2142}+\frac{0.1153(1-0.1153)}{399}} =0.0174

We can calculate the z-value as:

z=\frac{\Delta p}{s}=\frac{0.1116-0.1353}{0.0174}=-1.362

The P-value for z=-1.362 is P=0.0866.

The P-value (0.09) is greater than the significance level (0.05), so it failed to reject the null hypothesis. There is no enough evidence to prove that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars.

b) We can construct a 95% CI, according to the significance level of 0.05.

The z-value for this CI is 1.96.

We have to recalculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.1116(1-0.1116)}{2142} +\frac{0.1353(1-0.1353)}{399}} =0.0184

The lower limit is then:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma=(0.1116-0.1353)-1.96*0.0184=-0.0238-0.0361\\\\LL=-0.0599

The upper limit is:

UL=(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma=(0.1116-0.1353)+1.96*0.0184=-0.0238+0.0361\\\\UL=0.0124

The 95% CI for the difference in proportions is:

-0.0599\leq\pi_1-\pi_2\leq0.0124

In this case, we can conclude that the difference between the proportions, with 95% confidence, can still be equal or greater than zero, meaning that it is possible passenger car owners violate laws more than truck owners.

A $400,000 loan has monthly interest-only payments of $2,600. What is the annual interest rate? 6.5, 7.2, 7.4 or 7.8?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
