A student carried out an experiment to determine the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample. He performed 5 trials to produce the following results: 490 mg, 502 mg, 505 mg, 495mg, and 492 mg. The manufacturer claims that the tablet contains 500 mg of vitamin C. Do an appropriate statistical analysis to find out whether the results obtained by the student is consistent with bottle claim.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample is different from 500 mg.

P-value = 0.166.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sample:

Then, we can perform the hypothesis t-test for the mean.

The claim is that the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample is different from 500 mg.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=5.

The sample mean is M=496.8.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=6.5.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

This test is a left-tailed test, with 4 degrees of freedom and t=-1.1, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

As the P-value (0.166) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the amount of vitamin C in a tablet sample is different from 500 mg.

300

step-by-step explanation:

28-600w < 300

28-600w > 300

600-28w < 300

600-28w > 300

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are
