A consumer group wants to know if an automobile insurance company with thousands of customers has an average insurance payout for all their customers that is greater than $500 per insurance claim. They know that most customers have zero payouts and a few have substantial payouts. The consumer group collects a random sample of 18 customers and computes a mean payout per claim of $579.80 with a standard deviation of $751.30.
Is it appropriate for the consumer group to perform a hypothesis test for the mean payout of all customers?
A. Yes, it is appropriate because the population standard deviation is unknown.
B. Yes, it is appropriate because the sample size is large enough, so the condition that the sampling distribution of the sample mean be approximately normal is satisfied.
C. No, it is not appropriate because the sample is more than 10 percent of the population, so a condition for independence is not satisfied.
D. No, it is not appropriate because the standard deviation is greater than the mean payout, so the condition that the sampling distribution of the sample mean be approximately normal is not satisfied.
E. No, it is not appropriate because the distribution of the population is skewed and the sample size is not large enough to satisfy the condition that the sampling distribution of the sample mean be approximately normal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

E. No, it is not appropriate because the distribution of the population is skewed and the sample size is not large enough to satisfy the condition that the sampling distribution of the sample mean be approximately normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this question:

Standard deviation larger than the sample mean means that the distribution is skewed.

By the Central Limit Theorem, when the distribution is skewed, normality is assumed for samples sizes of 30 or higher. In this question, the sample is of 18, which is less than 30, so the hypothesis test is not appropriated, and the correct answer is given by option E.

The diameter of a spindle in a small motor is supposed to be 5.8 millimeters (mm) with a standard deviation of 0.14 mm. If the spindle is either too small or too large, the motor will not work properly. The manufacturer measures the diameter in a sample of 12 spindles to determine whether the mean diameter has moved away from the required measurement. Suppose the sample has an average diameter of 5.88 mm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses (H0 = null hypothesis and Ha = alternative hypothesis)?
A. H0: Mean= 5 and Ha: Mean is not equal to 5.
B. H0: Mean = 5 and Ha: Mean <5.
C. H0: Mean < 5 and Ha: Mean > 5.
D. H0: Mean = 5 and Ha: Mean > 5.

Answers

Answer: A. H0: Mean= 5 and Ha: Mean is not equal to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions:

Null hypothesis [tex](H_0)[/tex] is a statement describing population parameters according to the objective of the study. It takes "≤,≥,=" signs.   Alternative hypothesis[tex](H_a)[/tex]  is a statement opposite to the null hypothesis elaborating population parameters according to the objective of the study. It takes ">, <, ≠" signs.

Given: The diameter of a spindle in a small motor is supposed to be 5.8 millimeters.

If the spindle is either too small or too large, the motor will not work properly. so, Mean diameter ≠ 5.8 to work correctly.

i.e. [tex]H_a: \text{Mean}\neq 5.8[/tex]

So, [tex]H_a: \text{Mean =5.8}[/tex]

The required null and alternative hypotheses:

H0: Mean= 5 and Ha: Mean is not equal to 5.

When T = 2, R = 4

When T = 3, R = 6

Describe the relationship between the area of a circle and its circumstances

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A = \frac{r}{2}C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Circle

Required

The area and the circumference (relationship)

This implies that, we write an expression that relates the area and the circumference.

Circumference is calculated as:

[tex]C = 2\pi r[/tex]

Area is calculated as:

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

The area can be rewritten as:

[tex]A = \frac{2\pi r^2}{2}[/tex]

Further rewrite as:

[tex]A = \frac{r}{2}*2\pi r[/tex]

Recall that:[tex]C = 2\pi r[/tex]

So, the expression becomes

[tex]A = \frac{r}{2}*C[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{r}{2}C[/tex]

One evening Papa John’s sold a total of 33 pizzas topped with pepperoni, sausage, or pepperoni and sausage. There were 29 pizzas that had pepperoni. Of these, 15 also had sausage. How many more pizzas had pepperoni only than had sausage only?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

So he sold 33.

29 had pepperoni and of these 29, 15 had also sausage. SO first, to find out how many pepperoni pizzas only he sold you have to substract.

29-15= 14

14pepperoni pizzas

15 pepperoni and sausage pizzas.

Now we add 14 + 15 = 29

Now we do 33-29= 4

So the final answer to the question is:

10 pizzas more

What is the correct formula to find the sum of the finite geometric series below?

[tex]\displaystyle 2 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{9} + \ ... \ + \frac{2}{3^6}[/tex]

Answers

We are given the Geometric Series:

[tex]2 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{9} + \frac{2}{27} + \frac{2}{81} + \frac{2}{243} + \frac{2}{729}[/tex]

which can be rewritten as:

[tex]2 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3^{2} } + \frac{2}{3^{3}} + \frac{2}{3^{4}} + \frac{2}{3^{5}} + \frac{2}{3^{6}}[/tex]

here, we can see that every term is (1/3) times the last term

Hence, we can say that the common ratio of this Geometric Series is 1/3

Finding the Sum:

We know that the sum of a Geometric Series is:

[tex]S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n}-1)}{r-1}[/tex]

(where r is the common ratio, a is the first term, and n is the number of terms)

another look at the given Geometric Series tells us that the first term is 2 and the number of terms is 7

plugging these values in the formula, we get:

[tex]S_{n} = \frac{2((1/3)^{7}-1)}{(1/3)-1}[/tex]

[tex]S_{n} = \frac{-1.99}{-0.67}[/tex]

Sₙ = 2.97

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \tt2 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{ {3}^{2} } + \frac{2}{ {3}^{3} } + \frac{2}{ {3}^{4} } + \frac{2}{ {3}^{5} } + \frac{2}{ {3}^{6} } [/tex]

r = [tex]\tt{a_2 \div a_1}[/tex]

r = [tex]\tt{\frac{2}{3} \div 2}[/tex]

r = [tex]\tt{\bold{\frac{1}{3}}}[/tex]

Soo :

[tex] \sf s_n = \frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1) }{r - 1} [/tex]

[tex] \sf s_7 = \frac{2(( \frac{1}{3} ) {}^{7 - 1} - 1) }{( \frac{1}{3} - 1) } [/tex]

[tex] \sf s_7 \approx \bold{ \underline{2.97}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

One nice, reliable thing about triangles is that their interior angles will ALWAYS add up to 180 degrees.  So, if one angle is 43 degrees and the other angle is 48 degrees, we can see that

180 - 43 - 48 = 89

Now, the tricky part: how to determine which type of triangle this is.

An acute triangle is one in which all interior angles are less than 90 degrees.  An isoceles triangle is one in which two of the interior angles are the same, while the third is different.  An obtuse triangle is one in which one of the interior angles is greater than 90 degrees.  A right triangle is one in which one of the interior angles is equal to 90 degrees.

We distinguish between these different types because they each have useful, but different, properties.

By these definitions, it is clear that the triangle in question is acute.

Rationale: vertical angles are congruent to each other.

Option B: m<AUV + m<DUA = 180 (CORRECT)

Rationale: angles on a straight line

Option C: m<MUC - m<MUD = m<CUD (CORRECT)

Rationale:

m<MUC = m<MUD + m<CUD

Subtract m<MUD from each side

m<MUC - m<MUD = m<CUD

Option D is FALSE

Rationale:

m<PUD + m <VUP = 180° (angles on a straight line)

m<PUM + m<CUA ≠ 180°

Therefore,

m<PUD + m<VUP = m<PUM + m<CUA IS FALSE.
