Answer:

 The proportion of smokers was higher in 1990 than in 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

The total number of sample 1 (n1) = 1000

Total  sample 2 number  (n2) = 2000

The number of favourable events (X1) = 300

The number of favourable events (X2) = 500

so,

p₁ = X₁/n₁ = 300/1000 = 0.3

p₂ = X₂/n₂ =500/2000 =0.25

α = 0.05

We are interested in testing the hypothesis.

The  hypothesis (Null) ....>  H₀ : p₁ = p₂

Alternate hypothesis------ > H₁ : p₁ > p₂

Thus,

P = X₁ + X₂/ n₁ + n₂

P =300 + 500/1000 +2000

P =800/3000

=0.2667

Now,

Z₀ = P₁ - P₂/√ P (1 -P) (1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

Z₀ =  0.3 - 0.25/√0.2667  (1 - 0.2667) (1/1000 + 1/2000)

Z₀ = 0.4999999999999999/√ 0.2667 (0.7333000000000001) (0.001 +0.0005)

Then,

Z₀ = 0.4999999999999999/√0.00029335666500000004

Z₀ = 2.9193

so,

zα/2 = z0.05/2 =z0.025

zα/2 = 1.6448536269514722

Now, we apply the decision rule:

Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the statistic value test is higher than the critical value 1.6448536269514722

The statistic value, 2.9193 is greater than the critical value 1.6448536269514722,  then we will reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, the proportion of smokers was higher in 1990 than in 2000

Which transformation produces another triangle that has the same area as the one shown?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A reflection in the line y = -2, then a translation 2 units right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

Rigid transformation are transformation that preserves the shape and size of the object. Rotation, reflection, translation are rigid transformation whereas dilation is not a rigid transformation.

Any transformation regarding dilation changes the side length of the object and hence the area.

From the question, only one option is right. The rest options are not right because they involve dilation. The correct option is:

A reflection in the line y = -2, then a translation 2 units right.

Hey you ‼️ yeah I unfortunately need your help again these are hard:(
Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of this question is to find out the point where two lines intersect. First we need to get the equation of those lines

Slope of line 1:

(Yb -Ya)/(Xb - Xa) =

(-10 - (-14))/(-1 - (-3)) =

4/2 =

2

Use that slope to find the Y-intercept of line 1

y = 2x + b

-14 = 2(-3) +b

-14 = -6 + b

-8 = b

Therefore Line 1 is:

y = 2x - 8

Slope of line 2

(11 - 13)/(-1 - (-3)) =

-2/2 =

-1

Y-intercept of line 2

y = -x + b

13 = -(-3) +b

13 = 3 + b

10 = b

Therefore line 2 is

y = -x + 10

Now we have 2 equations to solve for the coordinates x and y

y = 2x - 8

y = -x + 10

Substitute y out in one of the equations

2x - 8 = -x + 10

3x = 18

x = 6

Plug x into one of the equations

y = 2(6) - 8

y = 12 - 8

y = 4

Therefore the solution is:

x=6, y=4
