A study by the National Athletic Trainers Association surveyed random samples of 1679 high school freshmen and 1366 high school

seniors in Illinois. Results showed that 34 of the freshmen and 24 of the seniors had used anabolic steroids. Steroids, which are dangerous, are sometimes used in an attempt to improve athletic performance. Researchers want to know if there's a difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids. Perform an appropriate hypothesis test using the 4-Step Process.

Answer:

We conclude that there is no significant difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a study by the National Athletic Trainers Association surveyed random samples of 1679 high school freshmen and 1366 high school seniors in Illinois.

Results showed that 34 of the freshmen and 24 of the seniors had used anabolic steroids.

Let p_1 = <u><em>proportion of Illinois high school freshmen who have used anabolic steroids.</em></u>

p_2 = <u><em>proportion of Illinois high school seniors who have used anabolic steroids.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1=p_2      {means that there is no significant difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p_1\neq p_2      {means that there is a significant difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>Two-sample z test for</u> <u>proportions</u>;

                        T.S. =  \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p_1 = sample proportion of high school freshmen who have used anabolic steroids = \frac{34}{1679} = 0.0203

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of high school seniors who have used anabolic steroids = \frac{24}{1366} = 0.0176

n_1 = sample of high school freshmen = 1679

n_2 = sample of high school seniors = 1366

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{(0.0203-0.0176)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.0203(1-0.0203)}{1679}+\frac{0.0176(1-0.0176)}{1366} } }

                                     =  0.545

The value of z test statistics is 0.545.

Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now, at 5% significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic lies within the range of critical values of z, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that there is no significant difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids.

Explain the difference between equilateral and equiangular :) ​
mixas84 [53]

An equilateral polygon has congruent sides, like a rhombus.

An equiangular polygon has congruent interior angles, like a rectangle.

In other words: Equilateral doesn't necessarily have congruent INTERIOR angles while equiangular does have/need congruent interior angles.

Which is the sum of 3/10 and 1/3
Ilya [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

\:  \:  \:  \:  \: \frac{3}{10}  +  \frac{1}{3}  \\  \\  =  \frac{3 \times 3}{10 \times 3}  +  \frac{1 \times 10}{3 \times 10}  \\  \\  =  \frac{9}{30}  +  \frac{10}{30}  \\ \\   =  \frac{19}{30}  \\  \\ so \: as \: you \: see \: here \: we \: should \: put \: same \: denominator \\ \: for \: both \: fractions. \: hope \: this \: helps.. \\ good \: luck

andres has 10 more goldfish than todd. Together,they have 50 goldfish.How many goldfish does each boy have?
Dmitry [639]
Let's go ahead and construct an equation to show this. Together, they have 50 goldfish. This can be represented as =50. 

Since we don't know how many Todd has, we're going to make a variable. We'll name it T, for Todd.

What about Andres? How many does he have? 10 more than Todd. Well, if Todd's amount is T, and Andres has 10 more, we can express that as T+10.

Now, just put the two pieces together! T+10=50. 

The next step is inverse operations. You want to find out how many T is, so you need to get rid of the 10. To take 10 away from something is doing what? Subtraction! Be warned, though; whatever you do to one side of the problem, you have to do to the other. 10-10 is 0, and 50-10 is 40. Since we took the 10 away and 50 is now 40, what you're left with is T=40.

Wait a second.. wasn't "T" Todd's amount? Yep! That means that Todd has 40 goldfish. And we already know that Andres has 10, so there's your answer!
