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

Compare your response to the sample response above. what did your explanation include? the conclusion that the work was incorrec
Alenkasestr [34]

In the case above, Talib work is not correct as one need to first switch x and y before one can solve for y.

<h3>What is the variables  about?</h3>

Note that:

y=-8x+4

y-4=-8x

(y-4)/-8=x

Since the independent variable x is known, one can switch the variable labels and thus it will be:

y=(x-4)/-8

f^-1(x)=(x-4)/-8    

This can be written again as:

f^-1(x)=(4-x)/8  :P

Thus one can say  No, as he forgot to switch the variable labels after solving for the independent variable.

In the case above, Talib work is not correct as one need to first switch x and y before one can solve for y.

See the first part of the question below

Talib is trying to find the inverse of the function to the right. His work appears beneath it. Is his work correct? Explain your answer.

Find the arc length of the partial circle.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Arc length of the partial circle = 3π units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; please find the complete question attached.

Formula for the arc length of a circle = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}(2\pi r)

Here θ is the angle formed by the sector at the center.

Angle that is formed at the center of the circle is = 360° - 90°

= 270°

So, length of the arc = \frac{270}{360}(2\pi)(2)

                                  = 3π

Therefore, length of the given partial circle is 3π units.
