Perchlorate is a chemical used in rocket fuel. People who live near a former rocket-testing site are concerned that perchlorate is present in unsafe amounts in their drinking water. Drinking water is considered safe when the average level of perchlorate is 24.5 parts per billion (ppb) or less. A random sample of 28 water sources in this area produces a mean perchlorate measure of 25.3 ppb. Which of the following is an appropriate alternative hypothesis that addresses their concern? Ha : μ < 25.3 H, a, : , μ, < 25.3 A Ha : μ > 25.3 H, a, : , μ, > 25.3 B Ha : μ < 24.5 H, a, : , μ, < 24.5 C Ha : μ > 24.5 H, a , : , μ, > 24.5 D Ha : μ ≠ 24.5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]H_a > \mu = 24.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 28[/tex] --- sample size

[tex]\bar x = 25.3[/tex] --- Mean

[tex]x = 24.5[/tex] --- Average

Required

Determine the alternate hypothesis

From the question, we understand that it is safe to drink water at 24.5 ppb or less.

This implies that the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_0 \le \mu = \bar x[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]H_0 \le \mu = 24.5[/tex]

The opposite of [tex]\le[/tex] is [tex]>[/tex]

So, the alternate hypothesis will be:

[tex]H_a > \mu = \bar x[/tex]

[tex]H_a > \mu = 24.5[/tex]

Hence: (c) is correct

Pineapple Street intersects Plum Street and Apple Street at their midpoints. Your home is at point P. You leave your home and jog down Plum Street to Kiwi Street, over Kiwi Street to Apple Street, up Apple Street to Pineapple Street, over Pineapple Street to Plum Street and then back home up Plum Street. How many miles did you jog?

Answers

Answer:

7.125 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the triangle midsegment theorem:

Distance of pineapple street = 1/2(distance of kiwi street) = 0.5 * 1.4 = 0. 7 miles

Distance of plum Street = (2 * distance of P to Pineapple street) = 2 * 1.3 = 2.6 miles

Distance from Kiwi to pineapple = 1/2 * distance of apple Street = 0.5 * 2.25 = 1.125 miles

1.3 + 1.3 + 1.4 + 1.125 + 0.7 + 1.3

Answers

P(9,7) =  181440

Step-by-step explanation:

The roles are distinct so order matters. So we must use the permutation formula.

P(n,r)=n!/(n−r)!

P(9,7) = 9! / 2! = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3 = 181440

137.67

Step-by-step explanation:

hello !

first, we find the midpoint of each interval in the score column (you can look for it by adding the two numbers and then dividing it by 2). then, we multiply the midpoint to the frequency:

1 - 7 is 4 = 4 * 17 = 68

8 - 10 is 9 = 9 * 15 = 135

11 - 15 is 13 = 13 * 13 = 169

16 - 20 is 18 = 18 * 6 = 108

23 - 35 is 29 = 29 * 6 = 174

36 - 50 is 43 = 43 * 4 = 172

now, we look for the mean, which we get by adding the sums and dividing the total with 6.

[tex]\frac{68+135+169+108+174+172}{6} = 137.6666667[/tex] or, when rounded to two decimal places, is equal to 137.67.

There are 9 movies ranked on the summer's "must see movie list." What is the probability that you guess the summer's top two must see movies if you randomly guess?

Answers

Answer:

1/36 = 0.0278 = 2.78% probability that you guess the summer's top two must see movies if you randomly guess

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the movies are chosen is not important, which means that we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Desired outcomes:

Top two movies, so only one outcome, which means that [tex]D = 1[/tex]

Total outcomes:

Two movies from a set of 1. So

[tex]T = C_{9,2} = \frac{9!}{2!(9-2)!} = 36[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{36} = 0.0278[/tex]

1/36 = 0.0278 = 2.78% probability that you guess the summer's top two must see movies if you randomly guess

Answer:

1.39%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation problem because order matters.

There are 9! ways to rank the summer's must-see movies.

There are (9−2)!=7! ways to choose two movies as the top two must-see movies.

P = 7!/9! = 1/72 = 0.0139

To express our answer as a percent, we multiply by 100:

0.0139 x 100 = 1.39%
