A random sample of 25 boxes of cereal have a mean of 372.5grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams. Does an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal? Test hypothesis at the 5% significance level, outline all steps involved. (9mks)​

Answers

Answer 1

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the average box of cereal does not contain more than 368 grams, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 368[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it contains, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 368[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the sample, hence, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. s is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 372.5, \mu = 368, s = 15, n = 25[/tex].

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{372.5 - 368}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 1.5[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, with 25 -1 = 24 df, is of [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.71[/tex].

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

13/20 - 1/2

===================================================

Explanation:

Ignore the big X and the shading for now. This figure has 4 rows by 5 columns of rectangles. So there are 4*5 = 20 little rectangles total. Each little rectangle represents 1 brownie.

Then let's say the shaded region represents the amount of brownies Mary receives. We have 13 rectangles shaded in out of the 20 total. This means 13/20 is the fractional amount Mary gets.

She then eats 10 of the 20 total, so she eats 10/20 = 1/2 of the brownies.

Therefore, we end up with the expression 13/20 - 1/2 to represent the fractional amount that Mary still has that she hasn't eaten yet (which is 3/20).

We can say: 13/20 - 1/2 = 13/20 - 10/20 = 3/20

Veronica made 960 cookies to sell. She wants to package the cookies in boxes of 16. Her goal is to make $630 from selling her cookies.

Answers

Answer: She should charge $10.50 for each box

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cookies = 960

Each box has 16 cookies

Her goal is $630

First, you want to find out how many boxes she made

960÷ 16 = 60

She made 60 boxes

Now you want to find the price for each box

630 ÷ 60 = 10.5

She should charge $10.50 for each box

Cynthia gave 15 of her toys to her little sister. If she had 25 toys, how many did she give away?

Answers

5

she gave her sister 5 toys.

Correction to the question - It is not 15 it 1/5th.

According to the given question Cynthia had 25 toys and she gave 1/5th of her toys to her little sister.

So, The total number of toys is 25 to find 1/5th of it we need to multiply the total number of toys she had and the fraction she gave.

(25 x 1/5) = 5. so the number of toys she gave away to her little sister is 5.

Keith bought 4 new baseball trading cards to add to his collection. The next day his dog at half of his collection. There is now 25 cards left. How many cards did Keith start with?

Answers

Keith started with 42 cards.

Answer:

46 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a variable to represent the starting amount of cards: (x)

Keith bought 4 new cards: (+4)

His dog ate half of the collection: (x/2)

There are now 25 cards: (=25)

So we can use this expression to find the starting amount: (x+4)/2=25

Start by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the (x/2).

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get rid of the (+4).

Finally, we know x= 46

Thus, Keith started with 46 cards.

The population of Fantasy City doubles each month. When will the city be half populated if it will be fully populated in 10 months.

Answers

Using an exponential function, it is found that the city will be half populated in 9 months.

The population of Fantasy City doubles each month, hence, after t months, the population is given by:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)2^{t}[/tex]

In which P(0) is the initial population.

Fully populated in 10 months, hence, the full population is:

[tex]P(10) = P(0)2^{10} = 1024P(0)[/tex]

Hence, half populated is [tex]P(t) = \frac{1024P(0)}{2} = 512P(0)[/tex], hence:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)2^{t}[/tex]

[tex]512P(0) = P(0)2^{t}[/tex]

[tex]2^t = 512[/tex]

[tex]2^t = 2^9[/tex]

[tex]t = 9[/tex]

The city will be half populated in 9 months.

If you connect the points where Muntinlupa City and Teresa, Rizal are located, what is the slope of the line formed from the two given places?

Answers

Using it's formula, it is found that the slope of the line formed from the two given places is of [tex]\mathbf{\frac{6}{7}}[/tex]

Given two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex], the slope is given by change in y divided by change in x, that is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

In this problem:

Muntinlupa is at (-1,-4);Teresa, Rizal is at (6,2).

Hence, applying the formula for the slope, considering [tex](x_1, y_1) = (-1, -4)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2) = (6,2)[/tex]:

[tex]m = \frac{2 - (-4)}{6 - (-1)} = \frac{6}{7}[/tex]
