• A researcher claims that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing. In a rando

m sample of 100 adults, 31% say they use their phone for most of their online browsing. At 1% level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the researcher’s claim?

Answer:

We failed to reject H₀

Z > -1.645

-1.84 > -1.645

We failed to reject H₀

p > α

0.03 > 0.01

We do not have significant evidence at a 1% significance level to claim that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phones for most of their online browsing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up hypotheses:

Null hypotheses = H₀: p = 0.40

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: p < 0.40

Determine the level of significance and Z-score:

Given level of significance = 1% = 0.01

Since it is a lower tailed test,

Z-score = -2.33 (lower tailed)

Determine type of test:

Since the alternate hypothesis states that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing, therefore we will use a lower tailed test.

Select the test statistic:  

Since the sample size is quite large (n > 30) therefore, we will use Z-distribution.

Set up decision rule:

Since it is a lower tailed test, using a Z statistic at a significance level of 1%

We Reject H₀ if Z < -1.645

We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α

Compute the test statistic:

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

$ Z =  \frac{0.31 - 0.40}{ \sqrt{\frac{0.40(1-0.40)}{100} }}  $

$ Z =  \frac{- 0.09}{ 0.048989 }  $

Z = - 1.84

From the z-table, the p-value corresponding to the test statistic -1.84 is

p = 0.03288

Conclusion:

We failed to reject H₀

Z > -1.645

-1.84 > -1.645

We failed to reject H₀

p >  α

0.03 > 0.01

We do not have significant evidence at a 1% significance level to claim that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phones for most of their online browsing.

What is the area of this figure?
nalin [4]

Answer:

<em>290.5 square miles</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider splitting this figure into two mini rectangles and a triangle, each of given lengths;

Dimensions of Rectangle 1 - Height ; 5 mi, Length ; 7 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 1 - Height * Length = 5 mi * 7 mi = 35 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Rectangle 2 - Height ; 18 mi, Length ; 8 mi,\\Area of Rectangle 2 - Height * Length = 23 mi * 8 mi = 184 mi^2\\\\Dimensions of Mini Right Triangle - Height ; 11 mi, Base ; 8 + 5 = 13 mi,\\Area of Mini Right Triangle - 1 / 2 * Base * Height = 1 / 2 * 13 mi * 11 mi = 71.5 mi^2,\\\\Area of Figure = 35 mi^2 + 184 mi^2 + 71.5 mi^2 = 290.5 square miles

<em>Solution; 290.5 square miles</em>

Given lines p and q are parallel, find the value of x that makes each diagram true.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: for a the answer is 140° and for b x=25°

Step-by-step explanation:

for a, when you have 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal,the corresponding angles are congruent. and the angle140 is congruent to the corresponding angle as they are vertical angles are congruent.

for b, angle x is congruent to the angle that is supplementary to 155 therefore 180-155=25°

T_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)&#10;

T_n = 52 + 12(n - 1)

T_n = 52 + 12n - 12

T_n = 40 + 12n

When n = 102,
T_{102} = 40 + 12(102) = 1264

Answer: 1264
