0.72 repeating is the sum of a geometric series with first term 0.72 and common factor 1/100. The sum is given by:

(first term) 0.72 0.72 72

--------------------------- = --------------- = ------------ = ------------

1 - common factor 1 - 1/100 99/100 99

This 72/99 can be reduced to 8/11.

0.72 repeating can be rewritten as the fraction 8/11.

It is a well-known fact that 50% of the general population are rascals (P(R) = 0.5) and 50% of the general population are not ra

Answer:

The answer is D. 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call R the event that a person is rascal, RC a person is not rascal, TH a person use top hat and NTH a person don’t use top hat.

From the information on the question we have 4 options with their respective probability:

1. A person could be rascal and use top Hat: this probability is calculate as the multiplication of the probability of be a rascal (0.5) and use a top hat (0.9), then:

P(R y TH)=0.5*0.9=0.45

2. A person could be rascal and don’t use top Hat: this probability is calculate as the multiplication of the probability of be a rascal (0.5) and not use a top hat (0.9), then:

P(R y NTH)=0.5*0.1=0.05

3. A person could be not rascal and use top Hat: this probability is calculate as the multiplication of the probability of not be a rascal (0.5) and use a top hat (0.3), then:

P(RC y TH)=0.5*0.3=0.15

4. A person could be not rascal and not use top Hat: this probability is calculate as the multiplication of the probability of not be a rascal (0.5) and not use a top hat (0.7), then:

P(RC y NTH)=0.5*0.7=0.35

Then the probability that a person is a rascal given that he is wearing a top hat could be written and calculate as:

$P(R/TH)=\frac{P(R y TH)}{P(TH)}$

For calculate P(TH) we need to sum all the option in which TH is involve so:

P(TH) = P(R y TH)+ P(RC y TH)

P(TH)=0.45+0.15=0.6

Replacing values on the first equation we get:

$P(R/TH)=\frac{0.45}{0.6} =0.75$

So, the probability that a person is a rascal given that he is wearing a top hat is 0.75

The Pew Research Center reported that 73% of Americans who own a cell phone also use text messaging. In a recent local survey, 1

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.775 -0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.73(1-0.73)}{200}}}=1.433$

Now we can find the p value. Since we have a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>1.433)=0.152$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

Do Not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=200 represent the sample size slected

X=155 represent the cell phone owners used text messaging

$\hat p=\frac{155}{200}=0.775$ estimated proportion of cell phone owners used text messaging

$p_o=0.73$ is the value to verify

$\alpha=0.1$ represent the significance level

We need to conduct a z test for a proportion

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the true proportion of cell phone owners used text messaging is different from 0.73 so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.73$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.73$

The statistic to check this hypothesis is given by:

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

Replacing the data given we got:

$z=\frac{0.775 -0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.73(1-0.73)}{200}}}=1.433$

Now we can find the p value. Since we have a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>1.433)=0.152$

Since the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

Do Not reject H0
