Mathematics

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

Is the inequality always, sometimes or never true?
Feliz [49]
1 )  9 x + 18 > 9 x - 27
9 x - 9 x > - 27 - 18
0 * x > - 45
Always true
2 ) 6 x - 13 < 9 x - 12
6 x - 6 x < - 12 + 13
0 * x < 1
Always true
3 ) - 6 ( 2 x - 10 ) + 12 x ≤ 180
- 12 x + 60 + 12 x ≤ 180
0 * x ≤ 180 - 60
0 * x ≤ 120
Always true.

You multiply two integers. You increase one of them by 1 and decrease the other
snow_tiger [21]

Integers are numbers without decimals

The integers could you have multiplied are 9 and 2

Let the numbers be x and y

So, we have:

\mathbf{x \times y}

Increase x by 1 and reduce y by 1.

So, we have

\mathbf{(x +1) \times (y -1) = 6 + xy }

Open brackets

\mathbf{xy -x + y - 1 = 6 + xy}

Subtract xy from both sides

\mathbf{ -x + y - 1 = 6}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{ -x + y = 6 + 1}

\mathbf{ -x + y = 7}

Rewrite as:

\mathbf{ y -x= 7}

The above means that, the difference between the integers is 7.

There are several integers that fit the above <em>description</em>;

One possibility is: 9 and 2
