Minnesota had the highest turnout rate of any state for the 2012 Presidential election (United States Election Project website,

February 9, 2013). Political analysts wonder if turnout in rural Minnesota was higher than turnout in the urban areas of the state. A sample shows that 663 of 884 registered voters from rural Minnesota voted in the 2012 Presidential election, while 414 out of 575 registered voters from urban Minnesota voted.A. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to test whether registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2012 Presidential election.1.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to determine whether registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2012 Presidential election.

(A)

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:  

<em>H</em>₀: The registered voters in rural Minnesota were not more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2012 Presidential election, i.e. p_{rural} - p_{urban}\leq  0.  

<em>Hₐ</em>: The registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2012 Presidential election, i.e. p_{rural} - p_{urban}>  0.  

(B)

Compute the proportion of sampled registered voters in rural Minnesota that voted in the 2012 Presidential election as follows:

\hat p_{rural}=\frac{663}{884}=0.75

(C)

Compute the proportion of sampled registered voters in urban Minnesota that voted in the 2012 Presidential election as follows:

\hat p_{urban}=\frac{414}{575}=0.72

(D)

Compute the total proportion as follows:

\hat p=\frac{663+474}{884+575}=0.74

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

Z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)\times [\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}

   =\frac{0.75-0.72}{\sqrt{0.74(1-0.74)\times [\frac{1}{884}+\frac{1}{575}]}}\\\\=1.28

The test statistic value is 1.28.

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

Compute the p-value as follows:

p-value=P(Z>1.28)=1-P(Z

The p-value of the test is quite large. The null hypothesis will be rejected at 0.05 significance level.

Thus, there enough evidence suggesting that the registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2012 Presidential election.

Answer:

B 3x-2y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct because when solved it has the same slope as line <em>k.</em>

The slope of <em>k</em> is 3/2.

3x-2y=10

first subtract 3x from both sides

-2y=-3x+10

next divide both sides by -2

y=3/2x-5

this shows that the slope 3/2 is the same as line <em>k</em>

The given line passes through the points (-2,-4) and (2,2) What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parall
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

(y-1)=\frac{3}{2}(x+3)


Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a line is (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) where x_1=-3\\y_1=1. We write  

(y-1)=m(x--3)\\(y-1)=m(x+3)


Since the line is parallel to the line shown it will have the same slope. To find m, count the slope from each marked point on the graph. Count the rise then the run and create a fraction rise/run. The slope is 6/4 which simplifies to 3/2. Now substitute it for m.

(y-1)=\frac{3}{2}(x+3)

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 80%

80,000 = 100%

20,000 = 20%

100% - 20% = 80%

Always convert the main number into 100 and follow through with the other numbers
