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.

Angela had $22.70 to spend on groceries. After buying 8 pineapples, she had $3.50 left. If each pineapple was the same price, wh
sesenic [268]

Answer:

$2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would do 22.70 minus 3.50, to get 19.20.

Then, you would divide 19.20 by 8, to get 2.4.

So, if each pineapple was the same price, each pineapple would be $2.40.

Use the same coordinate plane to draw the graphs of the functions. Y=kx-2 if k=1, 0.4,-1
mario62 [17]

Graphs can be used to represent functions.

See attachment for the graphs of: <em>y =x - 2, y = 0.4x - 2, y =-x - 2</em>

The function is given as: \mathbf{y = kx - 2}

When k = 1,

We have:

\mathbf{y = 1\times x - 2} ----- substitution property of equations

\mathbf{y = x - 2}

So, the equation is: \mathbf{y = x - 2} when k = 1

When k = 0.4,

We have:

\mathbf{y = 0.4\times x - 2} ----- substitution property of equations

\mathbf{y = 0.4x - 2}

So, the equation is: \mathbf{y = 0.4x - 2} when k = 0.4

When k = -1,

We have:

\mathbf{y = -1\times x - 2} ----- substitution property of equations

\mathbf{y = -x - 2}

So, the equation is: \mathbf{y = -x - 2} when k = -1

See attachment for the graphs of: \mathbf{y = x - 2}, \mathbf{y = 0.4x - 2} and \mathbf{y = -x - 2}
