Answer:

z=\frac{0.60 -0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{340}}}=-1.933  

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case is we use a significance level of 5% we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is different from 0.65 or 65%. We need to be careful since if we use a value higher than 65 for the significance the result would change

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=340 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.60 estimated proportion of readers owned a laptop

p_o=0.65 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

p_v{/tex} represent the p valueHypothesis to testWe want to check if the true proportion of readers owned a laptop if different from 0.65
Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.65  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.65  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{0.60 -0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{340}}}=-1.933  

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case is we use a significance level of 5% we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is different from 0.65 or 65%. We need to be careful since if we use a value higher than 65 for the significance the result would change

What kind of triangle has three angles of measure 83 degrees, 31 degrees and 66 degrees?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hi!

An obtuse angle is one greater than 90 degrees, a right angle one that is 90, and acute less than 90.

An obtuse triangle is one with one obtuse angle, all the rest being acute. A right triangle is one with one right angle, all the rest acute. And finally, an acute triangle is one with three acute angles.

In this case, the angles measure 83 degrees, 31 degrees, and 66 degrees. All of them are acute angles, as they're all less than 90 degrees.

Therefore, the triangle is an acute triangle.

Hope this helped!

Laura randomly pulled a marble from a bag and then replaced it.
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: C. 180 times

Step-by-step explanation:

From the 60 trials, the percentage of times Laura picked a green marble was:

= 100% - Percentage of times blue and red were picked

= 100% - 25% - 15%

= 60%

If these results were repeated with 300 trials, the number of times Laura would be expected to pick green would be:

= 60% * 300

= 180 times

Find the values of x and y?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see a y in the diagram.

The 3 angles x, 90 and (4x - 10) lie on the line EF and sum to 180°, so

x + 90 + 4x - 10 = 180, that is

5x + 80 = 180 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

5x = 100 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 20
