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.

a student found the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a base area of 92 square meters and a height of 54 Meters to be 4968 cu
Naya [18.7K]
It is not correct. 

The student found the volume by multiplying the base area with the height. He forgot to divide it by 3.

Formula to find the volume of the pyramid = 1/3 base area x height

volume = 1/3 x 92 x 54 = 1656 square meters
