Answer:

There is no significant difference between the two proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

State the hypotheses:

Null hypothesis -> H0: P1 = P2

Alternative hypothesis -> H1: P1 not = P2

Note that hypotheses constitute a two-tailed test. the null hypothesis will be rejected if the proportion from population 1 is too big or if it is too small.

Formulate an analysis plan

For the analysis, the significance level is 0.05. The test method is a two-proportion z-test.

Analyze sample data.

Using sample data we calculate the pooled sample porportion (p) and the standard error (SE). Using those measures, we compute the  z-score test statistic (z).

p = (p1*n1 + p2*n2)/(n1 + n2)

p1 = 45/80 = 0.5625

p2 = 63/120 = 0.525

n1 = 80

n2 = 120

p = (0.5625*80 + 0.525*120)/(80 + 120)

p = 0.54

SE = \sqrt{p*(1-p)*(\frac{1}{n_{1} } +\frac{1}{n_{2}} )}

SE = \sqrt{(0.2428)*(0.0125 + 0.0083)}

SE = 0.07112

z = (p1 - p2)/ SE

z = (0.5625 - 0.525)/0.07112

z = 0.527

For z = 0.527 we have p-value 0.198

Interpret results. Since p - Value (0.198) of the test is greater than the alpha-0.05 (For two tailed test α-0.025). Therefore we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

There is no significant difference between the two proportions

Find the sum.<br> 2(-5y+6)+(2y-8)
kotegsom [21]

Answer: I am just hoping that this is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-6 + -5y) + (2y + -8) = 0

(-6 * 2 + -5y * 2) + (2y + -8) = 0

(-12 + -10y) + (2y + -8) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-12 + -10y + (-8 + 2y) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-8 + 2y)

-12 + -10y + -8 + 2y = 0

Reorder the terms:

-12 + -8 + -10y + 2y = 0

Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20

-20 + -10y + 2y = 0

Combine like terms: -10y + 2y = -8y

-20 + -8y = 0

Solving

-20 + -8y = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '20' to each side of the equation.

-20 + 20 + -8y = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0

0 + -8y = 0 + 20

-8y = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20

-8y = 20

Divide each side by '-8'.

y = -2.5

Simplifying

y = -2.5
