The bad debt ratio for a financial institution is defined to be the dollar values of loans defaulted divided by the total dollar values of all loans made. A random sample of seven Ohio banks is selected. The bad debt ratios for these banks are 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 9%.The mean bad debt ratio for all federally insured banks is 3.5%.Federal banking officials claim that the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.(a) Set up the null and alternative hypotheses that should be used to justify this claim statistically. Assuming bad debt ratios for Ohio banks are normally distributed.
(b) Use the sample results give above to test the hypotheses you set up in part (a) with a α = .01. Interpret the outcome of the test.

(a) NULL HYPOTHESIS, :  3.5%

    ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, : > 3.5%

(b) We conclude that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of seven Ohio banks is selected.The bad debt ratios for these banks are 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 9%.The mean bad debt ratio for all federally insured banks is 3.5%.

We have to test the claim of Federal banking officials that the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.

(a) Let, NULL HYPOTHESIS, :  3.5% {means that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is less than or equal to the mean for all federally insured banks}

ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, : > 3.5% {means that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test;

                T.S. = ~

where,   = sample mean debt ratio of Ohio banks = 6%

             s = sample standard deviation = = 1.83%

             n = sample of banks = 7

So, test statistics =  ~

                             = 3.614

(b) Now, at 1% significance level t table gives critical value of 3.143. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of t so we have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the the mean bad debt ratio for Ohio banks is higher than the mean for all federally insured banks.

Hence, Federal banking officials claim was correct.

8 apples are left.

step-by-step explanation:

10-2=8

10 apples

take 2

now u have 8

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
