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

Renee has a triangular garden with an area of 24 square feet. Which drawing shows Renee's garden?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The picture that represent her drawing is uploaded below. The height is 8 ft and the base is 6 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renee garden is triangular in shape . The area of the triangular garden is given as 24 ft² . The area of a triangle can be represented below.

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

where

b = base

h = height

The drawing that represent Renee drawing is given below. The height is 8 ft and the base is 6 ft .

Using the formula

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × 6 × 8

Area of a triangle = 48/2

Area of a triangle = 24 ft²

Solve the equations by factoring:<br><br>x^2−3x−40=0<br><br>4x^2−81=0
Alja [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 3x - 40 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 40) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are - 8 and + 5, since

- 8 × 5 = - 40 and - 8 + 5 = - 3, thus

(x - 8)(x + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

------------------------------------------------------

Given

4x² - 81 = 0 ← this is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b), thus

4x² - 81

=(2x)² - 9²

= (2x + 9)(2x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 9 ⇒ x = - \frac{9}{2}

2x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 9 ⇒ x = \frac{9}{2}

Simplify 14(1.2)^10?
noname [10]
1790988582563.6448is your answer. All you do is multiply 14 times 1.2, which equals 16.8. Then you do 16.8 times itself. 16.8 x 16.8 = 282.24. Then 282.24 times itself, and so on so forth.
