Hydrologists collected water samples from a river for several years. They found 62 out of 648 samples exceeded the desired pH le

vels, with a 2% samples exceeded the desired pH levels, with a 90% confidence level. Which of the following is the most reasonable conclusion?
A. It is likely that the river water exceeds the desired pH level between 8% and 12% of the time studied.

B. It is likely that the river water exceeds the desired pH level between 10% and 12% of the time studied.

C. It is likely that the river water exceeds the desired pH level between 13% and 15% of the time studied.

D. It is likely that the river water exceeds the desired pH level between 11% and 15% of the time studied.

Answer:

Correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>p</em> = proportion of water samples that exceeded the desired pH level.

A sample of size <em>n</em> = 648 is selected. Of these samples <em>X</em> = 62 exceeded the desired pH levels.

The confidence interval for the population proportion is given by:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\Rightarrow CI=\hat p\pm MOE

The MOE or margin of  error is estimated difference between the true population parameter value and the sample statistic value.

The information provided is:

MOE = 0.02

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{6}{648}=0.096

Compute the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of water samples that exceeds the desired pH level as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm MOE\\=0.096\pm 0.02\\=(0.076, 0.116)\\\approx(8\%, 12\%)

Thus, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of water samples that exceeds the desired pH level is (8%, 12%).

This confidence interval implies that there is a 90% confidence that the river water exceeds the desired pH level between 8% and 12% of the time studied.

The correct option is (A).

From 1995 - 2008 in the US 648 people were struck by lightening. 531 of them were men. You want to see if this observation diffe
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Because z is higher than any given value in the chart we come to the conclusion To reject null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion = p= 531/648 = 0.8194

This is the proportion of men that were hit by lightening

Null hypothesis: H0: p = 0.5

Alternate hypothesis: H1: p ≠ 0.5

Test statistics z = 0.8194-0.5/(√0.5x0.5/648)

= 0.8194-0.5/√0.0003858

= 0.3194/0.019642

= 16.26

Since the z > 1.96 (at 5% significance) we reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore in conclusion we say z is higher than given values in the chart so we reject null hypothesis.

The parabola y=x² is shifted to the right 8 units. What is the equation to the new parabola
JulijaS [17]

The new equation is

<em>Y = (x-8)² </em>.

The other way to write it is like this:  (you might not recognize it in this form)

Y = x² - 16x + 64
