AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}$ (1)

$z=\frac{0.34848-0.34782}{\sqrt{0.34831(1-0.34831)(\frac{1}{66}+\frac{1}{23})}}=0.0057$

$p_v =P(Z>0.0057)=0.4977$

The p value is a very high value and using the significance level $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is NOT significantly higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$X_{M}=23$ represent the number of men that said they enjoyed the activity of Saturday afternoon shopping

$X_{W}=8$ represent the number of women that said they enjoyed the activity of Saturday afternoon shopping

$n_{M}=66$ sample of male selected

$n_{W}=23$ sample of demale selected

$p_{M}=\frac{23}{66}=0.34848$ represent the proportion of men that said they enjoyed the activity of Saturday afternoon shopping

$p_{W}=\frac{8}{23}=0.34782$ represent the proportion of women with red/green color blindness

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{M} \leq p_{W}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{M} > p_{W}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{M}+X_{W}}{n_{M}+n_{W}}=\frac{23+8}{66+23}=0.34831$

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.34848-0.34782}{\sqrt{0.34831(1-0.34831)(\frac{1}{66}+\frac{1}{23})}}=0.0057$

4) Statistical decision

Using the significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ , the next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one side right tail test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>0.0057)=0.4977$

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is NOT significantly higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment.

A rectangle with an area of 120 in 2 has a length 8 inches longer than two times its width. What is the width of the rectangle?

nlexa [21]

width = x

length = 2x+8

area = l x w

x(2x+8)=120

2x^2+8x−120=0

x^2+4−60=0

(x+10)(x−6)=0

x=−10 and x=6

width has to be a positive number

Width = 6 inches.

Answer:

The most appropriate inferential statistic test in the present situation is the;

b. Two-sample t-test

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The number of subjects in each sample, n₁ = 100

The number of samples = 2

The nature of the test = To compare the two means

The value of the population standard deviation, σ = Unknown

From the given parameters, we have;

The t-test is a method of inferential statistics for determining whether the difference between the mean of two groups is significant, that is if the observed difference are due to chance, where the groups are likely to have some characteristics that are related

The t-test is utilized when testing an hypothesis, and it is used for small samples, where the population standard deviation is unknown

The types of t-test used are;

a) One-sample t-test

b) Two-sample t-test

c) Paired Sample t-test

Therefore, a two-sample t-test is most appropriate.
