A shoe manufacturer compared material A and material B for the soles of shoes. Twelve volunteers each got two shoes. The left wa

s made with material A and the right with material B. On both shoes, the material was 1 inch thick. Volunteers used the shoes normally for two months and returned them to the manufacturer. Technicians then measured the thickness of the soles and recorded the amount of wear (in microns):
Volunteer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Sole A 379 378 328 372 325 304 356 309 354 318 355 392
Sole B 372 376 328 368 283 252 369 321 379 303 328 411

They wish to test
H0: µA −µB = 0
against
HA: µA −µB 6= 0,

where µA and µB are the unknown population mean amounts of sole wear, using α = 0.05.

(a) Are the two samples paired or independent? Explain your answer.
(b) Make a normal QQ plot of the differences within each pair. Is it reasonable to assume a normal population of differences?
(c) Choose a test appropriate for the hypotheses above and justify your choice based on your answers to parts (a) and (b). Perform the test by computing a p-value, make a test decision, and state your conclusion in the context of the problem

a) These samples are dependent, as measurements are taken from the same individuals at different times using different methods. b) Upon examining the QQ plot, it shows no considerable deviations suggesting a normal distribution assumption for the differences. c) For the hypotheses indicated, a paired t-test is suitable due to the repeated measurements. Evaluating the p-value reveals it exceeds the significance threshold, leading to the conclusion that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, thus indicating that the mean difference is not significantly different from 0.

If m<DBC=(12x-3)°, m<DBE=(5x+12)°, and m<EBC=(3x+13)°, find m<EBC.
Leona [9271]

Answer:

m∠EBC=34°

Step-by-step explanation:

We establish that

m∠DBC=m∠DBE+m∠EBC

Refer to the accompanying diagram for clarity on the issue

Replace the known values in the equation and determine x

(12x-3)\°=(5x+12)\°+(3x+13)\°\\12x-3=8x+25\\12x-8x=25+3\\4x=28\\x=7

Calculate the size of angle EBC

m∠EBC=(3x+13)°

Insert the value for x

m∠EBC=(3(7)+13)°

m∠EBC=(21+13)°

m∠EBC=34°

The weights of soy patties sold by Veggie Burgers Delight are normally distributed. A random sample of 15 patties yields a mean
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data and notation

\bar X=3.8 indicates the sample mean

s=0.5 refers to the sample standard deviation

n=15 is the sample size

\mu_o =4 represents the value we are testing.

\alpha indicates the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t refers to the statistic of interest.

p_v is the p-value for the test (the variable we are interested in).

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.

I will set up the hypotheses to verify if the mean weight falls below 4 ounces, formalizing:

Null hypothesis: \mu \geq 68

Alternative hypothesis: \mu < 4

Since our sample size is < 30 and the population standard deviation is unknown, it’s advisable to utilize a t test to compare the actual mean against the reference value, with the statistic calculated as follows:

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

t-test: "This test compares group means and is commonly utilized to determine if the mean is (greater than, less than, or not equal to) a specific value."

Calculate the statistic

We can substitute the provided information into formula (1):

t=\frac{3.8-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{15}}}=-1.549

Carmen is planning rail lines for a new train station. Help her find m1. Explain how you found  that solution.
tester [8842]
I have included a screenshot of the entire question along with its accompanying diagram.

Answer:
∠1 = 163°

Explanation:
1- finding angle 2:
Given that ∠2 together with 17° creates a straight angle, their total is 180°.
Thus:
180 = 17 + ∠2
Solving for ∠2 gives us:
∠2 = 180 - 17
∠2 = 163°

2- finding angle 1:
Since lines a and b are parallel, ∠1 and ∠2 are alternate angles and therefore equal.
We determined that ∠2 = 163°, leading to:
∠1 = 163°

I hope this clarifies things!:)
