5. [12 points] minor surgery on horses under field conditions requires a reliable short-term anesthetic producing good muscle relaxation, minimal cardiovascular and respiratory changes, and a quick, smooth recovery with minimal aftereffects so that horses can be left unattended. a research article reports that, for a sample of 73 horses to which ketamine was administered under certain conditions, the sample average lying-down time was 18.9 minutes. does this data suggest that the true mean lying-down time is less than 20 minutes? assume that lying-down time varies according to a normal distribution with population standard deviation 8.6 minutes. test using the level of significance α = 0.10.

there is no evidence for the data to suggest that the true mean lying-down time is less than 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a sample of 73 horses to which ketamine was administered under certain conditions, the sample average lying-down time was 18.9 minutes.

So create hypotheses as

(left tailed test at 5% significance level)

Since population std deviation is given and sample size >30 we can useZ test

Std error =

Z statistic = mean diff/std error

=

p value one tailed = 0.138

Since p >0.05 we accept H0

i.e. there is no evidence for the data to suggest that the true mean lying-down time is less than 20 minutes

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
