A random sample of 150 men found that 88 of the men excercise regularly, while a random sample 200 women found that 130 of the w

omen exercise regularly. A friend says that she believes that a higher proportion of women then men exercise regularly. Write hypotheses that you could use to test your friend's belief. (Be sure to define the parameters referred to in the hypotheses.) Do not actually perform the test. ONLY write the hypotheses.

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1 \leq p_2   or  p_1-p_2 \leq 0

Alternate Hypothesis, H_a : p_1>p_2   or  p_1-p_2>0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 150 men found that 88 of the men exercise regularly, while a random sample 200 women found that 130 of the women exercise regularly.

A friend says that she believes that a higher proportion of women then men exercise regularly.

For this firstly;

Let p_1 = proportion of women who exercise regularly

     p_2 = proportion of men who exercise regularly  

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1 \leq p_2   or  p_1-p_2 \leq 0

Alternate Hypothesis, H_a : p_1>p_2   or  p_1-p_2>0

Here, <u><em>null hypothesis</em></u> states that the proportion of women who exercise regularly are less than or equal to the proportion of men who exercise regularly.

Similarly, <em><u>alternate hypothesis</u></em> states that proportion of women who exercise regularly are higher than the proportion of men who exercise regularly.

So, this is the correct hypothesis that would be used for conducting the test.

Answer:

The hypothesis is:

<em>H₀</em>: p_{X}-p_{Y}=0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: p_{X}-p_{Y}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of men who exercise regularly and <em>Y</em> = number of women who exercise regularly.

The information provided is:

n_{X}=150\\X=88\\n_{Y}=200\\Y=130

Compute the sample proportion of men and women who exercise regularly as follows:

\hat p_{X}=\frac{X}{n_{X}}=\frac{88}{150}=0.587

\hat p_{Y}=\frac{Y}{n_{Y}}=\frac{130}{200}=0.65

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 150 and \hat p_{X}=0.587.

The random variable <em>Y</em> also follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 200 and \hat p_{Y}=0.65.

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes <em>n</em> > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\hat p=p

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

So, the sampling distribution of the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly follows a Normal distribution.

A two proportion <em>z</em>-test cab be performed to determine whether the proportion of women is more than men who exercise regularly.

The hypothesis for this test cab be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of women is same as men who exercise regularly, i.e. p_{X}-p_{Y}=0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of women is more than men who exercise regularly, i.e. p_{X}-p_{Y}.

Answer:

Choice A (older trees are generally taller than younger trees)

Step-by-step explanation:

As you increase the x value, the y value tends to increase as well.  Choice B is incorrect because the points are clustered together in a linear fashion, showing correlation. Choice C is incorrect because the fact that they are clustered around a line of best fit shows high correlation. Choice D is incorrect because a negative correlation coefficient would mean the y decreases as x increases.

Which point is 10 units from (2,5)
zalisa [80]

Answer:

All the points on (x - 2)² + (y - 5)² = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be the circle with its center on point (2,5) and radius is 10.

(h , k) : center of circle (2,5)    h = 2     k = 5

r: radius     r = 10

Circle: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(x - 2)² + (y - 5)² = 100
