g A sanitation supervisor is interested in testing to see if the mean amount of garbage per bin is different from 50. In a random sample of 36 bins, the sample mean amount was 50.67 pounds and the sample standard deviation was 3.9 pounds. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using a 0.01 level of significance.

We accept the null hypothesis, that is, the the mean amount of garbage per bin is not different from 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sanitation supervisor is interested in testing to see if the mean amount of garbage per bin is different from 50.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

And the alternate hypothesis is:

The test statistic is:

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

50 tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that

In a random sample of 36 bins, the sample mean amount was 50.67 pounds and the sample standard deviation was 3.9 pounds.

This means that

Value of the test statistic:

p-value:

Since we are testing if the mean is differente from a value and the z-score is positive, the pvalue is 2 multipled by 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = 1.03.

z = 1.03 has a pvalue of 0.8485

1 - 0.8485 = 0.1515

2*0.1515 = 0.3030

0.3030 > 0.01, which means that we accept the null hypothesis, that is, the the mean amount of garbage per bin is not different from 50.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
