The National Collegiate Athletic Association​ (NCAA) measures the Graduation Success Rate​ (GSR), which is the percentage of eli

gible athletes who graduate within six years of entering college. According to the​ NCAA, the GSR for all scholarship athletes in a particular division is 57​%. The GSR for all students in this division is 62​%. Suppose the NCAA report was based on a sample of 500 ​student-athletes, of which 285 graduated within six years. Is this sufficient information to conclude that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 62​%? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of 0.05.

Answer:

Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 62%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perform a hypothesis test on a proportion.

The claim is that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 62%. Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.62\\\\H_a:\pi

The significance level, named here as Type I error rate, is 0.05.

The sample size is n=500.

The sample proportion is:

p=X/n=285/500=0.57

The standard deviation of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.62(1-0.62)}{500}}=\sqrt{0.0004712}=0.022

The z-statistic is then:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.57-0.62+0.5/500}{0.022}=\dfrac{-0.049}{0.022} = -2.227

The P-value for this left tailed test is:

P-value=P(z

The P-value is smaller than the significance level, so the effect is significant. The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 62%.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.57 -0.62}{\sqrt{\frac{0.62(1-0.62)}{500}}}=-2.303  

p_v =2*P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of student athletes who graduate within 6 years is significantly different from 0.62 or 62%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X=285 represent the student athletes who graduate within 6 years

\hat p=\frac{285}{500}=0.57 estimated proportion of student athletes who graduate within 6 years

p_o=0.62 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportion differs from 0.62.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.62  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.62  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.57 -0.62}{\sqrt{\frac{0.62(1-0.62)}{500}}}=-2.303  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

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

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of student athletes who graduate within 6 years is significantly different from 0.62 or 62%

Which equation does NOT represent a proportional relationship between two variables with the constant of proportinality of? 1/2
Dimas [21]

Answer:

(D) y=x+\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Two variables x and y are proportionally related  if they can be written in the form y=kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

From the given options, if k=\frac{1}{2}

(B)y=\frac{1}{2}x is of the form y=kx

(C)y=\frac{3}{6}x is of the form y=kx with k=\frac{1}{2} as \frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2} in its lowest form.

(C)y=0.5x is of the form y=kx with k=\frac{1}{2} as 0.5=\frac{1}{2} in fractional form.

On the Contrary,

In Option D, y=x+\frac{1}{2} does not represent a proportional relationship between x and y. The constant of proportion is supposed to be a product of x.

60% expressed as a ration is StartFraction 60 Over 100 EndFraction. What is this as a fraction in its reduced form?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

60% means 60 out of 100. For example if you get 60 marks in an exam of 100 marks. This means you got 60% marks.

Which is 60/100. This fraction can further be reduced to 6/10 [divide both numerator and denominator by 10)

6/10 = 3/5  [divide both numerator and denominator by 2)

So, the reduced form of 60% =3/5

If(√14/√7-2)-(√14/√7+2)=a√7+b√2 find the values of a and b where a and b are rational numbers​
seraphim [82]

Answer:

  • a = 4/3 and b = 0

============================

<h2>Given expression:</h2>

\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}-2} -\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}+2}

<h2>Simplify it in steps:</h2>

<h3>Step 1</h3>

Bring both fractions into common denominator:

\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} - \dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}-2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)}

<h3>Step 2</h3>

Simplify:

\dfrac{\sqrt{14} ((\sqrt{7}+2) - (\sqrt{7}-2))}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =

\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2 - \sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =

\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =

\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7})^2-2^2} =

\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{7-4} =

\dfrac{4}{3}  \sqrt{14} }

<h3>Step 3</h3>

Compare the result with given expression to get:

  • a = 4/3 and b = 0

Which describes the calculations that could be used to solve this problem? Lauren has 42 muffins to pack into boxes and bags. Sh
Marat540 [252]
The correct answer is D, 'Subtract 42 - 12. Then divide the difference by 3'. Lauren has 42 muffins, and she can put 12 of them into a box, leaving her with 30 muffins to fit into bags. If she can fit 3 muffins in each bag, and she wants to know how many bags she needs, then she needs to divide 30 by 3 to get 10. This means that she will need 10 bags of 3 muffins to completely pack 30 muffins. She started with 42, but 12 of those fit into the original box, so we don't have to worry about it.

Hope this helps!

It is about 1.62×10⁶ miles from Venus to Earth. It is about 5.4×10⁷ from Earth to Mars. How far is it total from Venus to Earth
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

-5.238- 10^{7}

or

Since the exponent of the scientific notation is positive, move the decimal point  6  places to the right.

1620000

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the  

10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Hope this helps :)
