The cost of a daily newspaper varies from city to city. However, the variation among prices remains steady with a standard deviation of $0.20. A study was done to test the claim that the mean cost of a daily newspaper is $1.00. Twelve costs yield a mean cost of $0.95 with a standard deviation of $0.18. Do the data support the claim at the 1% level?

|t| =|-0.96|=0.96< 2.718

since calculated' t' value is less than tabulated value 't'.

we accept null hypothesis at 1 % level of significance.

The data support the claim that the mean cost of a daily news paper is  $1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Step:-(1)

Given the sample size n = 12

Given Twelve costs yield a mean cost of $0.95 with a standard deviation of $0.18

mean of the sample(x⁻) = $0.95

Standard deviation of sample (S) = $0.18

Given claim that the mean cost of a daily newspaper is $1.00.

The mean of the population 'μ' =  $1.00.

Null hypothesis:-H₀:'μ' =  $1.00.

Alternative hypothesis: H₁:'μ' ≠  $1.00.

level of significance ∝ = 0.01

Step2:-

The test statistic

on calculation, we get

t = -0.96

|t| =|-0.96|=0.96

Degrees of freedom γ = n-1 = 12-1 =11

tₐ =  2.718

Calculated value t = 0.96

Tabulated value t at 0.01 level for 11 degrees for two tailed test = 2.718

since calculated' t' value is less than tabulated value 't'.

conclusion:-

we accept null hypothesis at 1 % level of significance.

The data support the claim that the mean cost of a daily news paper is  $1.00

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
