Answer:

A

Null hypothesis: H0: p = 0.515

Alternative hypothesis: Ha ≠ 0.515

z = -0.257

P value = P(Z<-0.257) = 0.797

Decision; we fail to reject the null hypothesis. That is, the results support the belief that 51.5​% of newborn babies are​ boys

Rule

If;

P-value > significance level --- accept Null hypothesis

P-value < significance level --- reject Null hypothesis

Z score > Z(at 90% confidence interval) ---- reject Null hypothesis

Z score < Z(at 90% confidence interval) ------ accept Null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above;

Null hypothesis: H0: p = 0.515

Alternative hypothesis: Ha ≠ 0.515

Given;

n=850 represent the random sample taken

Test statistic z score can be calculated with the formula below;

z = (p^−po)/√{po(1−po)/n}

Where,

z= Test statistics

n = Sample size = 850

po = Null hypothesized value = 0.515

p^ = Observed proportion = 434/850 = 0.5106

Substituting the values we have

z = (0.5106-0.515)/√(0.515(1-0.515)/850)

z = −0.256677

z = −0.257

To determine the p value (test statistic) at 0.10 significance level, using a two tailed hypothesis.

P value = P(Z<-0.257) = 0.797

Since z at 0.10 significance level is between -1.645 and +1.645 and the z score for the test (z = -0.257) which falls with the region bounded by Z at 0.10 significance level. And also the one-tailed hypothesis P-value is 0.797 which is greater than 0.10. Then we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 10% significance level the null hypothesis is valid.

F(x)+x^2-3x-2x is shifted 4 units left. The result is g(x). What is g(x)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

g(x) = x² + 5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If a function is f(x) = x²

And this function is shifted 4 units left then the rule to be followed is,

g(x) = f(x + 4)

Following the same rule,

For a function f(x) = x² - 3x - 2 when shifted 4 units to the left,

g(x) = f(x + 4)

g(x) = (x + 4)² - 3(x + 4) - 2

      = x² + 8x + 16 - 3x - 12 - 2

      = x² + 5x + 2

Therefore, g(x) = x² + 5x + 2 will be the transformed function.

Find angle measures of 4, 5, and 6
Cloud [144]

Answer:

ok

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so the sum mustbe 36

and as this is a parallelogram that means opposite angle are the same and so one of the is 125that means that the opposite is 125 too, the sum is 250

360-250=110 and as one of the side must sum up to the half of 110 which is 55 and substract (55-22=33)

4=33

so is 5 =33

6=22
