Chapter 9.1, Problem 12P
Basic Computation: Setting Hypotheses Suppose you want to test the claim that a population mean equals 30.
(a) State the null hypothesis.
(b) Slate the alternate hypothesis if you have no information regarding how the population mean might differ from 30.
(c) State the alternate hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may be greater than 30.
(d) State the alternate hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may not be as large as 30.

- Aerobic Power Aerobic power can be thought of as the maximum oxygen consumption attainable per kilogram of body mass. There are a number of ways in which physical educators estimate this. One method uses the Queens College Step Test. In this test, males step up and down a 16-inch bleacher step 24 times per minute for 3 minutes, and females do 22 steps per minute for 3 minutes. Five seconds after the exercise is complete, a 15-second pulse count P is taken. Maximum oxygen consumption M, in milliliters per kilogram, for males is approximated by M=111.3-1.68P. For females, the recommended formula is F=65.81-0.74P. a. Calculate the maximum oxygen consumption for both a male and a female who show a 15-second pulse count of 40. b. What 15-second pulse count for a male will indicate a maximum oxygen consumption of 35.7 milliliters per kilogram? c. What 15-second pulse count will indicate the same maximum oxygen consumption for a male as for a female? d. What maximum oxygen consumption is associated with your answer in part c?arrow_forwardFalling Object An object with negligible air resistance is dropped from the top of the Willis Tower in Chicago at a height of 1451 feet. During the first second of fall, the object falls 16 feet; during the second second, it falls 48 feet; during the third second, it falls 80 feet; during the fourth second, it falls 112 feet. Assuming this pattern continues, how many feet does the object fall in the first 7 seconds after it is dropped?arrow_forwardBatting Averages Player A has a higher batting average than player B for the first half of the baseball season. Player A also has a higher batting average than player B for the second half of the season. Is it necessarily true that player A has a higher batting average than player B for the entire season?arrow_forward
- Sales Strategy A small business is considering hiring a new sales representative sales rep to market its product in a nearby city. Two pay scales are under consideration. Pay Scale 1 Pay the sales rep a base yearly salary of 10, 000 plus a commission of 8 of total yearly sales. Pay Scale 2 Pay the sales rep a base yearly salary of 13, 000 plus a commission of 6 of total yearly sales. a. For each of the pay scales above, use a formula to express the total yearly earnings for the sales rep as a function of total yearly sales. Be sure to identify clearly what the letters that you use mean. b. What amount of total yearly sales would result in the same total yearly earnings for the sales rep no matter which of the two pay scales is used? c. On the same screen, plot the graphs of the functions you made in part a. Copy the picture onto the paper you turn in. Be sure to label the horizontal and vertical axes, and be sure your picture includes the number you found in part b. d. If you were a sales rep negotiating for the new position, under what conditions would you prefer pay scale 1? Under what conditions would you prefer pay scale 2?arrow_forwardChartering a Bus A social club charters a bus at a cost of 900 to take a group of members on an excursion to Atlantic City.

You deposit money into an Advantage Cash account and are issued a credit card the you use to purchase food. The card has several advantages: If you open your Advantage Cash account for 200 or more, a 5% bonus is added to your account balance. When you use your Advantage Cash Card, you receive 5% off the retail price of any food purchase. When you buy food with cash, you must pay a sales tax of 7.375%. With the Advantage Cash Card, you pay no sales tax. a.An item retails for 1.00. What do you pay if you use your Advantage Cash Card? b.An item retails for 1.00. What do you pay if you use cash? Round your answer to five decimal places for use in part d. c.What retail value of food will you be able to purchase if you open an Advantage Cash account for 300? Suggestion: Dont forget your 5% bonus and use the results of part a d.What retail value of food would you be able to purchase with 300 if you spend it as cash at the food court? Suggestion: Use the results of part b e.Calculate the percentage increase from your answer for part d to your answer for part c. Explain in practical terms the meaning of this percentage.arrow_forward
