The local oil changing business is very busy on Saturday mornings and is considering expanding. A national study of similar businesses reported the mean number of customers waiting to have their oil changed on Saturday morning is 3.6. Suppose the local oil changing business owner wants to perform a hypothesis test. The null hypothesis is the population mean is 3.6 and the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is not equal to 3.6. The owner took a random sample of 16 Saturday mornings during the past year and determined the sample mean is 4.2 and the sample standard deviation is 1.4. It can be assumed that the population is normally distributed and the level of significance is 0.05. The critical t value for this problem is _______.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

2.131

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Sample size = 16

             Sample mean is 4.2

             Sample standard deviation is 1.4.

             Level of significance is 0.05.

To Find : critical t value

Solution:

Sample size = 16

Since n < 30

So we will use t - test

We are supposed to find critical t value

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 16-1 = 15

Level of significance =α= 0.05

Now refer the t table for t critical

t_({(\alpha)/(2),d.f.}) = t_({(0.05)/(2),15}) = 2.131

Hence The critical t value for this problem is 2.131

Answer:

y=4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the point slope form equation y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and the given point is (x1,y1)

y-7=4(x-2) . Plug in the numbers for the equation

y-7=4x-8   distributive property

y = 4x-1

y=4x-1 is the equation that passes through (2,7)

Amelia rented a dvd and it was due to be returned on 26 novembershe actually returned it to the shop on 26 december
the rental shop applies a fine for 9p for every day the dvd is overdue
work out the total fine paid by amelia
give your answer in £?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

9p*30days= 45p

45÷100=0.45£

The correct answer would be No fine is paid if the DVD is returned by the due date, because the first 0 means it is 0 days overdue, so it is returned on time, and the second 0 means the fine would be $0!!

A swimming pool whose volume is 10 comma 000 gal contains water that is 0.03​% chlorine. Starting at tequals​0, city water containing 0.001​% chlorine is pumped into the pool at a rate of 6 ​gal/min. The pool water flows out at the same rate. What is the percentage of chlorine in the pool after 1 hour​? When will the pool water be 0.002​% ​chlorine?

Answers

Answer:

C(60) = 2.7*10⁻⁴

t = 1870.72 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x(t) be the amount of chlorine in the pool at time t. Then the concentration of chlorine is  

C(t) = 3*10⁻⁴*x(t).

The input rate is 6*(0.001/100) = 6*10⁻⁵.

The output rate is 6*C(t) = 6*(3*10⁻⁴*x(t)) = 18*10⁻⁴*x(t)

The initial condition is x(0) = C(0)*10⁴/3 = (0.03/100)*10⁴/3 = 1.

The problem is to find C(60) in percents and to find t such that 3*10⁻⁴*x(t) = 0.002/100.  

Remember, 1 h = 60 minutes. The initial value problem is  

dx/dt= 6*10⁻⁵ - 18*10⁻⁴x =  - 6* 10⁻⁴*(3x - 10⁻¹)               x(0) = 1.

The equation is separable. It can be rewritten as dx/(3x - 10⁻¹) = -6*10⁻⁴dt.

The integration of both sides gives us  

Ln |3x - 0.1| / 3 = -6*10⁻⁴*t + C    or    |3x - 0.1| = e∧(3C)*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴t).  

Therefore, 3x - 0.1 = C₁*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴t).

Plug in the initial condition t = 0, x = 1 to obtain C₁ = 2.9.

Thus the solution to the IVP is

x(t) = (1/3)(2.9*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴t)+0.1)

then  

C(t) = 3*10⁻⁴*(1/3)(2.9*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴t)+0.1) = 10⁻⁴*(2.9*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴t)+0.1)

If  t = 60

We have

C(60) = 10⁻⁴*(2.9*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴*60)+0.1) = 2.7*10⁻⁴

Now, we obtain t such that 3*10⁻⁴*x(t) = 2*10⁻⁵

3*10⁻⁴*(1/3)(2.9*e∧(-18*10⁻⁴t)+0.1) = 2*10⁻⁵

t = 1870.72 s
