In an interview for a secretary position at the dealer, a typist claims a tying speed of 45 words per minute. On the basis of 70 trials, she demonstrated an average speed of 43 words per minute with a standard deviation of 15 words per minute. Test at 5% significance level on the typist’s claim.

According to the typist claim, we build an hypothesis test, find the test statistic and the p-value relative to this test statistic, reaching a conclusion that:

The p-value of the test is 0.1333 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the typist's claim.

-------------------------------------------------------------

In an interview for a secretary position at the dealer, a typist claims a tying speed of 45 words per minute.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of at least 45, that is:

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is of less than 45, that is:

-------------------------------------------------------------

The test statistic is:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question

In which X is the sample mean, is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

-------------------------------------------------------------

45 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that

On the basis of 70 trials, she demonstrated an average speed of 43 words per minute with a standard deviation of 15 words per minute.

This means that

Value of the test statistic:

-------------------------------------------------------------

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is found using a left-tailed test(test if the mean is less than a value), with 70 - 1 = 69 degrees of freedom and t = -1.12.

Using a t-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.1333.

The p-value of the test is 0.1333 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the typist's claim.

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2 -1 

translation is a function transformation that transform the function in a way of translating. by translating the function its graph is moved  up an down. moving the function f(x) 2 units to the left will be the new function g(x) with the equation: g(x)=f(x+2)=2(x+2)^2 -1

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
