A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 433 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 15 bag sample had a mean of 423 grams with a standard deviation of 26. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis.

$t=\frac{423-433}{\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{15}}}=-14.896$

df=n-1=15-1=14

We need to find in the t distribution with df=14 a value who accumulates 0.1 of the area in the left and we got $t_{crit}= -1.345$ .

Since our calculated value for the statistic is is so much lower than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly less than 433 and then the machine is underfilling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

$\bar X=423$ represent the sample mean

s=26 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 sample size

$\mu_o =433$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.1$ 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

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 433 (underfilling), the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 433$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 433$

The statistic is:

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

Calculate the statistic

$t=\frac{423-433}{\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{15}}}=-14.896$

Decision rule

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=15-1=14

We need to find in the t distribution with df=14 a value who accumulates 0.1 of the area in the left and we got $t_{crit}= -1.345$

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17 {equation 1}

xy = -24 {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6 or y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6 or y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3 or y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8

David estimated he had about 20 fish in his pond. a year later, there were about 1.5 times as many fish. the year after that, the number of fish increased by a factor of 1.5 again. the number of fish is modeled by f(x)=20(1.5)^x. create a question you could ask that could be answered only by graphing or using a logarithm.
