A researcher finds that of 1000 people who said that they attend a religious service at least once a week, A stopped to help a p

erson with car trouble. Of 1200 people interviewed who had not attended a religious service at least once a month, B stopped to help a person with car trouble. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the two proportions are equal.

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportions are not equal. (P-value: 0.048).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

<em>"A researcher finds that of 1000 people who said that they attend a religious service at least once a week, 31 stopped to help a person with car trouble. Of 1200 people interviewed who had not attended a religious service at least once a month, 22 stopped to help a person with car trouble. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the two proportions are different."</em>

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportions are not equal.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2\neq 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.031.

p_1=X_1/n_1=31/1000=0.031

The sample 2, of size n2=1200 has a proportion of p2=0.018.

p_2=X_2/n_2=22/1200=0.018

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.013.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.031-0.018=0.013

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{31+22}{1000+1200}=\dfrac{53}{2200}=0.024

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.024*0.976}{1000}+\dfrac{0.024*0.976}{1200}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0+0}=\sqrt{0}=0.007

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.013-0}{0.007}=\dfrac{0.013}{0.007}=1.98

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

P-value=2\cdot P(z>1.98)=0.048

As the P-value (0.048) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportions are not equal.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Total = 38\frac{11}{12}\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First\ Route = 12\frac{2}{3}\ miles

Second\ Route = 10\frac{3}{4}\ miles

Third\ Route = 15\frac{1}{2}\ miles

Required

Determine the total miles

Total = First\ Route + Second\ Route + Third\ Route

Total = 12\frac{2}{3} + 10\frac{3}{4} + 15\frac{1}{2}

Convert to improper fractions

Total = \frac{38}{3} + \frac{43}{4} + \frac{31}{2}

Take LCM

Total = \frac{152 + 129 + 186}{12}

Total = \frac{467}{12}

Total = 38\frac{11}{12}\ miles

The price of a flight was increased by 3% to £650. What was the price before the increase?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

£ 631

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi this is a simple mathematics issue.

First, let's imagine what is 3%. '3 percents' means 3/100. If your family have 100 apples and you have 3 apples, that means you have 3% of your family apples.

Now, get back to this problem. We need to find the price before increase. Let's say the price was £ X. Now we will find the X number.

It's said that the price was increased by 3%. That means they took 3% of X and added that amount to X to have the new price : £ 650. That means we have this equation :

650 = X + 3%×X

Let's make it easier to look :

650 = X + 3/100 ×X

650 = X×( 1+ 3/100)

= X × 103/100

So we can see 650 is equaled to X multipled by 103/100.

To find the correct answer, simply divide 650 by 103/100.

*A hint: When you divide a number by a fraction, you can simply put the number multiplied by the "flipped" fraction .

Hope you learn with Joy and High Grades !!!
