In recent years more people have been working past the age of 65. In 2005, 27% of people aged 65–69 worked. A recent report from

the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) claimed that percentage working had increased (USa today, November 16, 2012). The findings reported by the OECD were consistent with taking a sample of 600 people aged 65–69 and finding that 180 of them were working.
a. Develop a point estimate of the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working.

b. Set up a hypothesis test so that the rejection of h0 will allow you to conclude that the

proportion of people aged 65–69 working has increased from 2005.

c. Conduct your hypothesis test using α 5 .05. What is your conclusion?

A point estimate of the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working is p=0.3 or 30%, a hypothesis test so that the rejection of h0 will allow you to conclude that the  proportion of people aged 65–69 working has increased from 2005 is H_0: π =0.27 and H_1: π not equal to -0.27. My hypothesis test using α 5 .05 is that there is not enough evidence that the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working has increased from 2005.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

In recent years more people have been working past the age of 65. In 2005, 27% of people aged 65–69 worked. A recent report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) claimed that percentage working had increased (USa today, November 16, 2012). The findings reported by the OECD were consistent with taking a sample of 600 people aged 65–69 and finding

a. Develop a point estimate of the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working.  By taking into account the sample that taken, the point estimate is   p=\frac{180}{600} =0.3

b. Set up a hypothesis test so that the rejection of h0 will allow you to conclude that the  proportion of people aged 65–69 working has increased from 2005.

In this case to claim that the proportion has changed and the mean is no longer 27%, we have to reject the null hypotesis (π=0.27). The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi = 0.27\\ H_1 : \pi \neq 0.27

c. Conduct your hypothesis test using α 5 .05. What is your conclusion?

Calculating the test statistic:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{N} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{600} } = 0.01812

The test statistic

z=\frac{p-\pi-0.5/N}{\sigma} =\frac{0.3-0.27-0.5/600}{0.01812}=1.61

It is a two-tailed test, P-value for z=1.61 is P=0.1074.

The hypothesis can not be rejected because as the P-value is bigger than the significance level, the effect is not statistically significant

Therefore there is not enough evidence that the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working has increased from 2005.

Answer:

a) point estimate is 30%

b) null and alternative hypothesis would be

H_{0}: p=27%

H_{a}: p>27%

c) We reject the null hypothesis, percentage working people aged 65-69 had increased

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>a. </em>

Point estimate would be the proportion of the working people aged 65–69 to the sample size and equals \frac{180}{600}=0.3 ie 30%

<em>b.</em>

Let p be the proportion of people aged 65–69 who is working. OECD claims that percentage working had increased. Then null and alternative hypothesis would be

H_{0}: p=27%

H_{a}: p>27%

<em>c.</em>

z-score of the sample proportion assuming null hypothesis is:

\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } } where

  • p(s) is the sample proportion of working people aged 65–69 (0.3)
  • p is the proportion assumed under null hypothesis. (0.27)
  • N is the sample size (600)

then z=\frac{0.3-0.27}{\sqrt{\frac{0.27*0.73}{600} } } = 1.655

Since one tailed p value of 1.655 = 0.048 < 0.05, sample proportion is significantly different than the proportion assumed in null hypothesis. Therefore we reject the null hypothesis.

Write the domain as an inequality​
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

x\leq 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the span of x-values covered by the graph.

From the graph, we can see that the x-values covered by the graph is all values to the left of zero including zero.

Therefore, the domain is all x-values less than or equal to 0:

x\leq 0

Further notes:

In interval notation, this is:

(-\infty,0]

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: 2.460

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of Margin of Error for (n<30):-

ME=t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n= 18

Level of confidence = 0.90

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.90=0.1

Using the t-distribution table ,

Critical value : t_{n-1, \alpha/2}=t_{17,0.05}= 1.7396

Standard deviation: \sigma=\text{ 6 inches }

Then, we have

ME=( 1.7396)\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{18}}\approx2.460

Hence, the margin of error (ME) of the confidence interval with a 90% confidence level = 2.460
