Jolyn, a golfer, claims that her drive distance is not equal to 222 meters, on average. Several of her friends do not believe he

r, so she decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 5% significance level, to persuade them. She hits 11 drives. The mean distance of the sample drives is 218 meters. Jolyn knows from experience that the standard deviation for her drive distance is 14 meters. H0: μ=222; Ha: μ≠222 α=0.05 (significance level) What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places? Provide your answer below:

Answer:

0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score is given by the formula:

z=(μ-M)/σ where

  • μ is the hypothesis drive distance, which is 222
  • M is the mean sample drive distance
  • σ is the standard deviation of the sample drive distance

Therefore

z=(222-218)/14≈0.29

Lunna [17]
Given:
μ = 68 in, population mean
σ = 3 in, population standard deviation

Calculate z-scores for the following random variable and determine their probabilities from standard tables.

x = 72 in:
z = (x-μ)/σ = (72-68)/3 = 1.333
P(x) = 0.9088

x = 64 in:
z = (64 -38)/3 = -1.333
P(x) = 0.0912

x = 65 in
z = (65 - 68)/3 = -1
P(x) = 0.1587

x = 71:
z = (71-68)/3 = 1
P(x) = 0.8413

Part (a)
For x > 72 in, obtain
300 - 300*0.9088 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (b)
For x ≤ 64 in, obtain
300*0.0912 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (c)
For 65 ≤ x ≤ 71, obtain
300*(0.8413 - 0.1587) = 204.78

Answer: 204

Part (d)
For x = 68 in, obtain
z = 0
P(x) = 0.5
The number of students is
300*0.5 = 150

Answer: 150

World wind energy generating1 capacity, W , was 371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}

b) Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year 2018

Step-by-step explanation:

The world wind energy generating capacity can be modeled by the following function

W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which W(t) is the wind energy generating capacity in t years after 2014, W(0) is the capacity in 2014 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

371 gigawatts by the end of 2014 and has been increasing at a continuous rate of approximately 16.8%.

This means that

W(0) = 371, r = 0.168

(a) Give a formula for W , in gigawatts, as a function of time, t , in years since the end of 2014 . W= gigawatts

W(t) = W(0)(1+r)^{t}

W(t) = 371(1+0.168)^{t}

W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}

(b) When is wind capacity predicted to pass 600 gigawatts? Wind capacity will pass 600 gigawatts during the year?

This is t years after the end of 2014, in which t found when W(t) = 600. So

W(t) = 371(1.168)^{t}

600 = 371(1.168)^{t}

(1.168)^{t} = \frac{600}{371}

(1.168)^{t} = 1.61725

We have that:

\log{a^{t}} = t\log{a}

So we apply log to both sides of the equality

\log{(1.168)^{t}} = \log{1.61725}

t\log{1.168} = 0.2088

0.0674t = 0.2088

t = \frac{0.2088}{0.0674}

t = 3.1

It will happen 3.1 years after the end of 2014, so during the year of 2018.

Draw or write two ways to use a doubles fact to find 6+7
PtichkaEL [24]
Here are a few doubles facts:

5+5=10
2+2=4
3+3=6

A double is simply a pair of identical numbers added together. There's a pair of doubles you can <em>subtract </em>1 from to get 6+7, and there's a pair you can <em>add</em> 1 to get the same answer. What are those pairs?

Hint: If you take the example 3+4, you can either <em>subtract 1</em> from the double 4+4 or <em>add 1</em> to the double 3+3 to obtain your answer.

In the parallelogram AXYZ, line segment AT = 4y – 2, line segment TY = 6x -12, line segment TX = 14, line segment ZT = 2x + 12.
Tpy6a [65]
In a parallelogram diagonals bisect each other,
=>AT=TX=>4y-2=14=>4y=14+2=>4y =16=>y=16/4=4
And ZT=TY=>2x+12=6x-12
=>12+12=6x-2x
=>24=4x
=>24/4=X
=>6=X
Hope this helps u...!!!

A triangle has side lengths measuring 3x cm, 7x cm, and h cm. Which expression describes the possible values of h, in cm?
madreJ [45]
It would be 4x < h < 10x
the difference between 3x - 7x =4 
and the sum would be 3x + 7x =10
