A random sample of 1003 adult Americans was asked, "Do you think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could do without?" Of the 1003 adults surveyed, 521 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Americans who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without out.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The  95% confidence interval is  [tex]0.503 < p < 0.535[/tex]

The  interpretation is that there is 95% confidence that the true population proportion lie within the confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is n  =  1003

     The number that indicated television are a luxury is  k  =  521

Generally the sample mean is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\r p = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

          [tex]\r p = \frac{521}{1003}[/tex]

         [tex]\r p = 0.519[/tex]

Given the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

       [tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]

       [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

       [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is  

          [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

The  margin of error is mathematically represented as

           [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }[/tex]

=>       [tex]E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.519 (1- 0.519 )}{1003} }[/tex]

=>       [tex]E = 0.016[/tex]

The  95%  confidence interval is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\r p -E < p < \r p +E[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.519 - 0.016 < p < 0.519 + 0.016[/tex]

=>    [tex]0.503 < p < 0.535[/tex]

A United Nations report shows the mean family income for Mexican migrants to the United States is $26,500 per year. A FLOC (Farm Labor Organizing Committee) evaluation of 24 Mexican family units reveals a mean to be $30,150 with a sample standard deviation of $10,560. State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

The null hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_0 : \mu = 26500}[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_1 : \mu \neq 26500}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The summary of the given statistics is:

Population Mean = 26,500

Sample Mean = 30,150

Standard deviation = 10560

sample size = 24

The objective is to state the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.

An hypothesis is a claim with  insufficient information which tends to be challenged into  further testing and experimentation in order to determine if such claim is significant or not.

The null hypothesis is a default hypothesis where there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis.

The alternative hypothesis is the research hypothesis that the  researcher is trying to prove.

The null hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_0 : \mu = 26500}[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_1 : \mu \neq 26500}[/tex]

The test statistic can be  computed as follows:

[tex]z = \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{30150 - 26500}{\dfrac{10560}{\sqrt{24}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{3650}{\dfrac{10560}{4.8989}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{3650 \times 4.8989 }{{10560}}[/tex]

z = 1.6933

Answer:

Option (G)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the race = a miles

Since, Speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

Time taken to cover 'a' miles with the speed = 12 mph,

Time taken '[tex]t_1[/tex]' = [tex]\frac{a}{12}[/tex]

Time taken to cover 'a' miles with the speed = 11 mph,

Time taken '[tex]t_2[/tex]' = [tex]\frac{a}{11}[/tex]

Since the time taken by David to cover 'a' miles was 10 minutes Or [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] hours more than the time he expected.

So, [tex]t_2=t_1+\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a}{11}=\frac{a}{12}+\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a}{11}-\frac{a}{12}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12a-11a}{132}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

a = 22 mi

Therefore, distance of the race = 22 mi

Option (G) is the correct option.

A survey showed that among 785 randomly selected subjects who completed four years of college, 144 of them are smokers and 84 do not smoke (based on data from the American Medical Association). Suppose you want to test at the 0.01 significance level the claim that the rate of smoking among those with four years of college is less than the 27% rate for the general population.
A. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
B. Find the sample statistic and the p-value.
C. What is your conclusion?

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the rate of smoking among those with four years of college is less than the 27% rate for the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey showed that among 785 randomly selected subjects who completed four years of college, 144 of them are smokers.

Let p = population proportion of smokers among those with four years of college

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p [tex]\geq[/tex] 27%      {means that the rate of smoking among those with four years of college is more than or equal to the 27% rate for the general population}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p < 27%      {means that the rate of smoking among those with four years of college is less than the 27% rate for the general population}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;

                             T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~   N(0,1)

where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of smokers = [tex]\frac{144}{785}[/tex] = 0.18

           n = sample of subjects = 785

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{0.18-0.27}{\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{785} } }[/tex]

                                     =  -5.68

The value of z-test statistics is -5.68.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

             P-value = P(Z < -5.68) = Less than 0.0001

Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -2.3262 for the left-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is less than the critical value of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the rate of smoking among those with four years of college is less than the 27% rate for the general population.

A stegosaurus eats ten twelfths of a plant and then eats two twelfths of the plant later. Estimate how much of the plant the dinosaur ate in all. Explain your thinking.

Answers

Answer:

12 Twelfths (12/10)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dinosaur ate 10 twelfths, then ate 2 twelfths, you need too add that up.

10/12 + 2/12 = 12/10.

The dinosaur ate 12/10 of a plant. (6/5 if needed to simplify)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

0/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 0/12. We know this because if there are twelve twelfths [12/12] of a plant and the stegosaurus eats ten twelfths [10/12] of a plant then it is 12 - 10 or the fraction form [12/12 - 10/12] then we subtract and we get the answer [2/12]. And then later it says the stegosaurus ate two twelfths [2/12] of a plant then we subtract 2 - 12 or [2/12 - 2/12] that would then equal 0/12.          

This year Alex’s age is 1/6 of his dads. Four years later, Alex’s age is 1/4 of his dads. How old is Alex and his dad this year?

Answers

Answer:

This year:

dads: 36 years

Alex: 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

a = d/6

a+4 = (d+4)/4

a = Alex´s actual age  

d = actual age of the dad

d/6 + 4 = (d+4)/4

4{(d/6) + 4} = d+4

4*d/6 + 4*4 = d+4

4d/6 + 16 = d + 4

4d/6 = d + 4 - 16

4d = (d-12)*6

4d  = 6*d +6*-12

4d = 6d - 72

4d - 6d = -72

-2d = -72

d = -72/-2

d = 36

a = d/6

a = 36/6

a = 6

probe:

a+4 = (d+4)/4

6 + 4 = (36+4)/4

a. .19
b. 1.57
c. .64
d. .91

Answers

Answer:

P( A| B)= 0.35. None of the options are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one of the events does not affect the other occurring. For example, the event of tossing two coins is an independent event since they occur simultaneously. Two events are therefore independent if the following are true.

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)

If A and B are independent events with P( A) = 0.35 and P( B) = 0.55,

then P( A| B) is a probability of A occurring provided that B has occurred. This is known as conditional probability for an independent event.

From the condition above for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A) and since P(A) =  0.35, hence P(A|B) =0.35

According to the given information, we build the equation for the cost. After we build the equation, the equation that relates these measures is:

[tex]C = 0.99 + xy + 0.2z[/tex]

Cost:

0.3 kilograms of tomatoes, at 3.30 dollars per kilogram.

Thus, the cost starts at:

[tex]C = 0.3*3.3 = 0.99[/tex]

y kilograms of cucumbers, at x dollars per kilogram.

Considering this, the cost will now be of:

[tex]C = 0.99 + xy[/tex]

0.2 kilograms of carrots, at z dollars per kilogram:

Now, we have to consider this for the cost, so:

To solve this question, we have to understand the sum of all angles of a polygon, identify the polygon and doing this, we get that the size of each of the angles are: 119º.

Sum of angles:

The sum of angles of a polygon of n sides is given by:

[tex]S_n = 180(n-2)[/tex]

Hexagon:

6 sides, thus [tex]n = 6[/tex], and:

[tex]S_n = 180(6-2) = 180*4 = 720[/tex]

Angles:

Four are 130°, 160°, 112° and 80°, the other two are equal, so both are x. Then:

[tex]130 + 160 + 112 + 80 + x + x = 720[/tex]

The volume of a cone varies jointly with the base (area) and the height. The volume is 12.5 ft3 when the base (area) is 15 ft2 and the height is 212 ft. Find the volume of the cone (after finding the variation constant) when the base (area) is 12 ft2 and the height is 6 ft

Answers

The volume of the cone, when the base area is 12 ft² and the height is 6 ft, is approximately 24 ft³.

To find the volume of the cone when the base area is 12 ft² and the height is 6 ft, we need to first determine the variation constant relating the volume, base area, and height.

Let's denote the volume of the cone as V, the base area as A, and the height as h. According to the problem, the volume varies jointly with the base area and the height.

Therefore, we can write the following equation:

V = k * A * h

Here k is the variation constant we want to find.

Given one set of values: when A = 15 ft² and h = 2 1/2 ft, V = 12.5 ft³.

Substitute these values into the equation and solve for k:

12.5 ft³ = k * 15 ft² * (2.5 ft)

Now, we can solve for k:

k = 12.5 ft³ / (15 ft² * 2.5 ft)

k = 0.3333 ft

Now that we have the value of the variation constant (k), we can find the volume when A = 12 ft² and h = 6 ft:

V = k * A * h

V = 0.3333 ft * 12 ft² * 6 ft

V = 23.9996 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 24 ft³.
