4. Let X equal the weight (in grams) of a Hershey’s grape-flavored Jolly Rancher. Denote the median of X by m. We wish to test the null hypothesis H0 : m = 5.900 against the alternative Ha : m > 5.900. A random sample of size n = 25 yielded the following ordered data:

5.625 5.665 5.697 5.837 5.863 5.870 5.878 5.884 5.908 5.967 6.019 6.020 6.029 6.032 6.037 6.045 6.049 6.050 6.079 6.116 6.159 6.186 6.199 6.307 6.387

Explain step by step how to use a t test to test the hypothesis.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ho : µ = 5.9
Ha : µ > 5.9

sample std dev ,    s =    0.184680517
Sample Size ,   n =    25
Sample Mean,    x̅ =   6.00

degree of freedom=   DF=n-1=   24

Standard Error , SE =   s/√n =   0.0369

t-test statistic=   (x̅ - µ )/SE =    2.608

α=0.05

critical t value, t* = 1.7109 [Excel formula =t.inv(α,df) ]

(also, p-value=0.0077)

Conclusion: t-stat >t-criitcal value, Reject null hypothesis

Will Smith consumes chocolate and milk. Let y denote chocolate and x denote milk. Chocolate has an unusual market where there is only one supplier, and the more chocolate you buy from the supplier, the higher the price she charges per unit. In fact, y units of chocolate will cost Will y2 dollars. Milk is sold in the usual way at a price of 2 dollars per unit. Will’s income is 20 dollars and his utility function is U =...

Let f(t) be the weight (in grams) of a solid sitting in a beaker of water after t minutes have elapsed. Suppose that the solid dissolves in such a way that the rate of change (in grams/minute) of the weight of the solid at any time t can be determined from the weight using the forumula: f′(t)=−4f(t)(6+f(t)) If there is 1 grams of solid at time t=2 estimate the amount of solid 1 second later.
