The mean gross annual incomes of certified welders are normally distributed with the mean of $20,000 and a standard deviation of $2,000. The ship building association wishes to find out whether their welders earn more or less than $20,000 annually. The alternate hypothesis is that the mean is not $20,000. If the level of significance for this two-tailed test is 0.10, what is/are the critical value(s)

At the 0.10 level of significance the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean gross annual incomes of certified welders are normally distributed with the mean of $20,000 and a standard deviation of $2,000.

The ship building association wishes to find out whether their welders earn more or less than $20,000 annually.

Let = mean gross annual incomes of certified welders

So, Null Hypothesis, : = $20,000    

Alternate hypothesis, : $20,000

Here, null hypothesis states that the mean income of welders is equal to $20,000.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that the mean income of welders is not $20,000.

Also, the test statistics that would be used here is One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

                              T.S. =    ~ N(0,1)

where, = sample mean income

            = population standard deviation = $2,000

            n = sample size

Now, at the 0.10 level of significance the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

126.66 m²

step-by-step explanation:

the pertinent area formula is a = πr², where r is the radius.

here, a = π(6.35 m)² = 40.32π, or approximately 126.66 m²

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
