The American Water Works Association reports that the per capita water use in a single-family home is 63 gallons per day. Legacy Ranch is a relatively new housing development. The builders installed more efficient water fixtures, such as low-flush toilets, and subsequently conducted a survey of the residences. Twenty-eight owners responded, and the sample mean water use per day was 60 gallons with a standard deviation of 8.9 gallons per day. At the 0.01 level of significance, is that enough evidence to conclude that residents of Legacy Ranch use less water on average

Answer from: KozzyKoz

$t=\frac{60-63}{\frac{8.9}{\sqrt{28}}}=-1.784$

df=n-1=28-1=27

$p_v =P(t_{(27)}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is less than 63 gallons per day at 1% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=60$ represent the sample mean

s=8.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=28 sample size

$\mu_o =68$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ 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 (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is less than 63, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 63$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 63$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

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

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{60-63}{\frac{8.9}{\sqrt{28}}}=-1.784$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n-1=28-1=27

Since is a one side lower test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(27)}$

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

Juliana says that she can use the patterns of equivalent ratios in the multiplication table below to write an infinite number of ratios that are equivalent to 6: 10. which statement explains whether juliana is correct? she is correct because she can multiply 6 and 10 by any number to form an equivalent ratio. she is correct because 6: 10 can be written as 1: 2 and there are an infinite number of ratios for 1: 2. she is not correct because the multiplication table does not include multiples of 10. she is not correct because 6: 10 is equivalent to 3: 5 and there are only 9 ratios in the multiplication table that are equivalent to 3: 5.
