A candidate for political office wants to determine if there is a difference in his popularity between men and women. To test the claim of this difference, he conducts a survey of voters. The sample contains 250 men and 250 women, of which 44% of the men and 52% of the women favor his candidacy. Do these values indicate a difference in popularity?Use a 0.01 significance level.
What are the hypothesis statements?
a) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm b) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm>pw
c) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm≠pw

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c) H0:pm=pw

HA:pm≠pw

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our hypothesis as

H0: pm = pw  " probability of men = probabilityof women" meaning there's no difference in the probabilityof the men and women in favor of his candidacy.

Alternate Hypothesis HA :pm≠pw " probability of men ≠ probabilityof women" meaning there's a difference in the probability of the men and women in favor of his candidacy.

the significance level α= 0.01

The test statistic under H0 is

Z = pm- pw/ √p`q` ( 1/n.m + 1/n.w)

pm= probability of men= 0.44

pw= probability of women = 0.52

p`= n.m pm+ n.w pw/ n.m + n.w

p`= 250 *0.44 + 250 *0.52/ 250 + 250

p`= 110 + 130 /500 = 240 /500 = 0.48

q`= 1- p`= 1-0.48= 0.52

Putting the values

Z= 0.44- 0.52/ √ 0.48 * 0.52

z= 0.08 / √0.2496

z=  0.08/ 0.4995

z= 0.1601

The critical region for α= 0.01 is Z= ± 2.58

Conclusion: Since the calculated z = 0.1601 does not fall in the critical region , so we accept the null hypothesis H0:pm=pw and conclude that the data does not appear to indicate that the tow probabilities are different.

Answer 2

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value, there values do not indicate a difference in popularity.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the proportions are equal, that is, their subtraction is of 0, hence:

[tex]H_0: p_w - p_m = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they are different, that is, their subtraction is different of 0, hence:

[tex]H_1: p_w - p_m \neq 0[/tex]

The proportions and standard errors are:

[tex]p_m = 0.44, s_m = \sqrt{\frac{0.44(0.56)}{250}} = 0.0314[/tex]

[tex]p_w = 0.52, s_w = \sqrt{\frac{0.52(0.48)}{250}} = 0.0316[/tex]

For the distribution of the differences, the mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\overline{p} = p_w - p_m = 0.52 - 0.44 = 0.08[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_m^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{0.0314^2 + 0.0316^2} = 0.0445[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]

In which p = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]z = \frac{0.08}{0.0445}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.795[/tex]

The critical value, for a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with a significance level of 0.01, is of [tex]|z^{\ast}| = 2.5758[/tex]

Since the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value, there values do not indicate a difference in popularity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

<ADC = 71°

<ADB = (x + 7)°

<BDC = (2x + 19)°

Required:

Value of x

Solution:

<ADB + <BDC = <ADC

(x + 7)° + (2x + 19)° = 71°

x + 7 + 2x + 19 = 71

x + 2x + 7 + 19 = 71

3x + 26 = 71

Subtract 26 from both sides

3x + 26 - 26 = 71 - 26

3x = 45

Divide both sides by 3 to make x the subject of formula

  [tex]\= x =8.9[/tex]

c

 [tex]var(x) = 16.57[/tex]

d

 [tex]\sigma = 4.1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given a data set  

      2​, 10​, 15​, 4​, 11​, 10​, 15​, 10​, 2​, 10

     The sample size is  n  = 10

 The range is  

         [tex]R = maxNum - MinNum[/tex]

Where maxNum  is the maximum number on the data set  which is 15

 and  MinNum  is the minimum  number on the data set  which is  2

   So

           [tex]R = 15 - 2[/tex]

           [tex]R =13[/tex]

The mean is mathematically represented as

          [tex]\= x = \frac{\sum x_i}{N}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\= x = \frac{2 + 10 + 15 + 4 + 11 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 2 + 10 }{10}[/tex]

         [tex]\= x =8.9[/tex]

The variance is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]var(x) = \frac{\sum (x - \= x)^2}{N}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]var(x) = \frac{(2 - 8.9 )^2 + (10 - 8.9 )^2 + (15 - 8.9 )^2 +(4 - 8.9 )^2 +(11 - 8.9 )^2 +(10 - 8.9 )^2 +(15 - 8.9 )^2 +(10 - 8.9 )^2 +} {10}[/tex]                    [tex]\frac{(2 - 8.9 )^2 +(10 - 8.9 )^2 }{10}[/tex]

[tex]var(x) = 16.57[/tex]

The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{var(x)}[/tex]

what is the quotient of (2x^4-3x^3–3x^2+7x-3)/(c^2-2x+1)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2x^2 + x - 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to divide [tex]2x^4 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex] by [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]

To do the long division, divide each term by [tex]x^2[/tex] and then subtract the product of the result and [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]  from the remaining part of the equation.

Whatever term/value you obtain from each step of the division is a part of the quotient.

When you reach 0, you have gotten to the end of the division.

Check the steps carefully and follow them below:

Step 1:

Divide [tex]2x^4[/tex] by [tex]x^2[/tex]. You get [tex]2x^2[/tex].

Step 2

Multiply [tex]2x^2[/tex] by  [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]  and subtract from [tex]2x^4 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex]:

 [tex]2x^4 - 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 3 - (2x^4 - 4x^3 + 2x^2)[/tex] = [tex]x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex]

Step 3

Divide [tex]x^3[/tex] by [tex]x^2[/tex]. You get x.

Step 4

Multiply x by  [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]  and subtract from  [tex]x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 3[/tex]:

[tex]x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 3 - (x^3 - 2x^2 + x) = -3x^2 +6x - 3[/tex]

Step 5

Divide [tex]-3x^2[/tex] by [tex]x^2[/tex]. You get -3

Step 6

Multiply -3 by [tex]x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]  and subtract from [tex]-3x^2 +6x - 3[/tex]:

[tex]-3x^2 +6x - 3 - (-3x^2 + 6x -3) = 0[/tex]

From the three divisions, we got [tex]2x^2[/tex], x and -3.

Therefore, the quotient is [tex]2x^2 + x - 3[/tex].

The JUST-SAY-MOW lawn mowing company consists of two people: Marsha and Bob. If Marsha cuts the lawn by herself, she can do it in 3 hours. If Bob cuts the same lawn himself, it takes him an hour longer than Marsha. How long would it take them if they worked together? Round to the nearest hundredth of an hour.

Answers

Answer:

it will take them 1.71 hours to finish cutting the lawn if they work together.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Marsha cuts the lawn by herself it will take her 3 hours, this mean that in one hour she cuts 1/3 of the lawn.

On the other hand Bob needs one more hour to finish the lawn, this means it takes him 4 hours to cut it and therefore he cuts 1/4 of the lawn per hour.

Now, to know how much they cut by working together we need to sum up the amount of lawn they cut per hour:

Working together in one hour: Marsha's one hour + Bob's one hour

Working together in one hour: [tex]\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{4+3}{12}=\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, working together they will cut 7/12 in one hour.

Now, to know how long will it take it to cut the entire lawn (which is equivalent to 12/12), we can write this in terms of proportions

Time        Total amount of lawn

1 hour               7/12

x hours             12/12

Solving for x (to know the amount of hours it will take them) we have:

[tex]x=\frac{12}{12}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]=[tex]1[/tex]×[tex]\frac{12}{7}=\frac{12}{7}=1.714[/tex]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, we have that working together it will take them 1.71 hours to finish cutting the lawn.

The eighth grade class at Seven Bridges Middle School has 93 students. Each student takes a current events class, a foreign language class, or both a current events class and a foreign language class. There are 70 eighth graders taking a current events class, and there are 54 eighth graders taking a foreign language class. How many eighth graders take only a current events class and not a foreign language class?

Answers

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of eighth graders take only a current events class and not a foreign language class is shown below:-

We will assume the x that shows the number of students which we will take  both languages

So, the equation will be

70 + 54 - x = 93

-x = 93 - 124

x =  31 students

So the number of eighth graders only take a current event class is

= 70 - 39

= 31 students

   [tex]8000 + 8000\cdot \dfrac{6\%}{12}=8000\cdot (1+ \dfrac{6}{1200})= 8000\cdot (1+ \dfrac{1}{200})[/tex]

After 2 months, we will have:

   [tex]8000\cdot (1+ \dfrac{1}{200})\cdot (1+ \dfrac{1}{200})=8000\cdot \left(1+ \dfrac{1}{200}\right)^2[/tex]

After n months, we will have

   [tex]8000\cdot \left(1+ \dfrac{1}{200}\right)^n=8000\cdot \left(1.005\right)^n[/tex]

We are looking for n such that

   [tex]8000\cdot \left(1.005\right)^n=13709.60\\\\ln(8000)+ n\cdot ln(1.005)=ln(13709.60)\\\\\\n = \dfrac{ln(13709.60)-ln(8000)}{ln(1.005)}=108[/tex]

So, we need 108 months to reach this amount, which means 108/12=9 years.

Hope this helps.

Price of an item is reduced by 40% of its original price. A week later it’s reduced 20% of the reduced price. What’s the actual % of the reduction from the original price

Answers

Answer: 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be 100.

After 40% reduction, price will be 100 - 40% = 60

After further 20% reduction, price will be 60 - 20% = 48

%age = (cur val - orig. val ) / orig val x 100

= (48 - 100) / 100 x 100%

= -52

The actual percentage of reduction is 52%

The first reduction is given as:

[tex]r_1 = 40\%[/tex]

The second reduction is given as:

[tex]r_2 = 20\%[/tex]

Assume that the original price of the item is x.

After the first reduction of 40%, the new price would be:

[tex]New = x\times (1 -r_1)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]New = x\times (1 -40\%)[/tex]

[tex]New = x\times 0.6[/tex]

[tex]New = 0.6x[/tex]

After the second reduction of 20% on the reduced price, the new price would be:

[tex]New = 0.6x\times (1 -r_2)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]New = 0.6x\times (1 -20\%)[/tex]

[tex]New = 0.6x\times 0.8[/tex]

[tex]New = 0.48x[/tex]

Recall that the original price is x.

So, the actual reduction is:

[tex]Actual = \frac{x - 0.48x}{x}[/tex]

[tex]Actual = \frac{0.52x}{x}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]Actual = 0.52[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]Actual = 52\%[/tex]

Hence, the actual percentage of reduction is 52%

Which of the following expressions could be used to find 80% of X (the lines are there to show the different expressions)

Answers

Answer:

80/100 times x =>  [tex] \frac{80}{100}*x [/tex]

(0.8) times x => [tex] (0.8)*x [/tex]

4/5 times x => [tex] \frac{4}{5}*x [/tex]

8/10 times x => [tex] \frac{8}{10}*x [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

80% of x means 80 ÷ 100 × x

that is: [tex] \frac{80}{100}*x = \frac{8}{10}*x = \frac{4}{5}*x = (0.8)*x [/tex]

Therefore, the expressions that can be used to find 80% of x are:

80/100 times x =>  [tex] \frac{80}{100}*x [/tex]

(0.8) times x => [tex] (0.8)*x [/tex]

4/5 times x => [tex] \frac{4}{5}*x [/tex]

8/10 times x => [tex] \frac{8}{10}*x [/tex]

What is the solution to the system that is created by the equation y = 2 x + 10 and the graph shown below? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 2, 0) and (0, 2). (–8, –6) (–4, –2) (0, 2) (2, 4)

Answers

Answer:

  (–8, –6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points represent the x- and y- intercepts of the line, so we can write the equation in intercept form as ...

  x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1

  x/(-2) +y/2 = 1 . . . use the given intercepts

  x - y = -2 . . . . . multiply by -2

Then the system is ...

y = 2x +10x - y = -2

Using the first to substitute into the second, we get ...

  x - (2x +10) = -2

  -8 = x . . . . . . . . . . . add x+2, simplify

  y = 2(-8) +10 = -6

The solution is (x, y) = (-8, -6).

WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? THANKS! A student at a university makes money by buying and selling used cars. Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a ​15% profit. If he sold it for ​$4669​, how much did Charles pay for the​ car?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a student (Charles) bought a car and sold it in 15 % profit for $4669.

we have the formula,

[tex]cp = \frac{sp \times 100}{100 + p\%} [/tex]

so,

[tex]cp = \frac{4669 \times 100}{100 + 15} [/tex]

by simplifying it we get,

CP is $4060.

Therefore, the cp was $4060.
