Answer:
Option b - not significantly greater than 75%.
Step-by-step explanation:
A random sample of 100 people was taken i.e. n=100
Eighty of the people in the sample favored Candidate i.e. x=80
We have used single sample proportion test,
Now we define hypothesis,
Null hypothesis : candidate A is significantly greater than 75%.
Alternative hypothesis : candidate A is not significantly greater than 75%.
Level of significance
Applying test statistic Z -proportion,
Where, and
Substitute the values,
The p-value is
Now, the p-value is greater than the 0.05.
So we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the A is not significantly greater than 75%.
Therefore, Option b is correct.
Answer:
There are NO real roots for this equation. The only roots have imaginary parts and therefore cannot be represented on the real x-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the expression on the left of the equation is a quadratic with leading term , which means that its graph is that of a parabola with branches going up.
Therefore, there can be three different situations:
1) if its vertex is ON the x axis, there would be one unique real solution (root) to the equation.
2) if its vertex is below the x-axis, the parabola's branches are forced to cross it at two locations, giving then two real solutions (roots) to the equation.
3) if its vertex is above the x-axis, it will have NO real solutions (roots) but only non-real ones.
So we proceed to examine the vertex's location, which is also a great way to decide on which set of points to use in order to plot its graph efficiently.
We recall that the x-position of the vertex for a quadratic function of the form is given by the expression:
Since in our case and
, we get that the x-position of the vertex is:
Now we can find the y-value of the vertex by evaluating this quadratic expression for x = 3/4:
This is a positive value for y, therefore we are in the situation where there is NO x-axis crossing of the parabola's graph, and therefore no real roots.
We can though estimate a few more points of the parabola's graph in order to complete the graph as requested in the problem. For such we select a couple of x-values to the right of the vertex, and a couple to the right so we can draw the branches. For example: x = 1, and x = 2 to the right; and x = 0 and x = -1 to the left of the vertex:
See the graph produced in the attached image.
