In 1943​, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and​ asked, "Are you a total abstainer​ from, or do you on occasion​ consume, alc

oholic​ beverages?" Of the 1100 adults​ surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent​ survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 352 indicated that they were total abstainers. Has the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol​ changed? Use the alphaequals0.10 level of significance.

Answer:

We conclude that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol​ has changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 1943​, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and​ asked, "Are you a total abstainer​ from, or do you on occasion​ consume, alcoholic​ beverages?"

Of the 1100 adults​ surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent​ survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 352 in

<u><em>Let p = proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol.</em></u>

where, p = \frac{429}{1100} = 0.39

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 39%      {means that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol​ has not changed}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 39%      {means that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol​ has changed}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z proportion statistics</u>;

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

where, \hat p = sample proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol = \frac{352}{1100} = 0.32

           n = sample of adults surveyed = 1100

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.32-0.39}{\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{1100} } }  

                              =  -4.976

The value of z test statistics is -4.976.

<em>Now, at 0.10 significance level the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.</em><em> </em>

<em>Since our test statistics doesn't lie within the range of  critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of adults who totally abstain from alcohol​ has changed.

Select Yes or No to state whether each data set is likely to be normally distributed.
kenny6666 [7]

we know that

Normal distribution:

The normal distribution is a very common continuous probability distribution

A probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean

now, we will check each options

option-A:

we know that number of coupons will always be counted

so, it is discrete in nature

so, this is not normal distribution

option-B:

we know that

the weights of the pumpkins that are delivered to a supermarket can be any values

so, this will be continuous in nature

so, this is normal distribution

option-C:

the number of raisins in each 8-oz box of raisins at a supermarket

number will always be counted

so, this is discrete in nature

so, this is not normal distribution

option-D:

the amount of time customers spend waiting in the checkout line at a supermarket

time can be decimal or number

so, this is continuous in nature

so, this is normal distribution

You will spend no less than $80 on a gift. You have already spent $50 on part of the gift. Let s be the amount of money you will
GalinKa [24]
Assuming you have to create an equation...
s is what you have to figure out so it is the subject of the rule
s=
you now need to find out what to do with the other side
you are taking 50 FROM 80 so
s=80-50
s=30
your answer is 30

Select all figures with 180 degree rotational symmetry.
Rzqust [24]

Answer: b, c and e.

Step-by-step explanation:

180° degree symmetry will mean that if we do a rotation of 180°, the figure will look exactly the same.

Now, let's suppose we have a figure with an odd number of sides.

We can draw that figure such that we have a side pointing down, and a vertex pointing up.

Now when we do a 180° rotation, the side will be pointing up and the vertex will be pointing down.

Then if the figure has an odd number of sides, it does not have a 180° rotational symmetry.

Now if the figure has an even number of sides, then we can do the same as above, but now we can put two parallel sides, one facing down and the other facing up, and when we do the rotation, we will end with the same image.

Then the correct options are the ones with an even number of sides:

b, c and e.
