In a rural area, only about 30% of the wells that are drilled find adequate water at a depth of 100 feet or less. A local man cl

aims to be able to find water by "dowsing"—using a forked stick to indicate where the well should be drilled. You check with 80 of his customers and find that 27 have wells less than 100 feet deep. What do you conclude about his claim?
a) Write appropriate hypotheses.
b) Check the necessary assumptions.
c) Perform the mechanics of the test. What is the P-value?
d) Explain carefully what the P-value means in context. e) What’s your conclusion?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a rural area, only about 30% of the wells that are drilled find adequate water at a depth of 100 feet or less.

The sample size n = 80

no of wells less than 100 feet deep=27

Sample proportion = \frac{27}{80} =0.3375

a) Create hypotheses as

H_0: p = 0.30\\H_a: p >0.30\\

(Right tailed test)

p difference = 0.3375-0.30 = 0.0375

Std error of p = \sqrt{\frac{0.3(0.7)}{80} } =0.0512

b) Assumptions: Each trial is independent and np and nq >5

c) Z test can be used.

Z= p diff/std error = \frac{0.0375}{0.0512} =0.73

p value = 0.233

d) p value is the probability for which null hypothesis is false.

e) Conclusion: Since p >0.05 we accept null hypothesis

there is no statistical evidence which support the claim that more than 30% are drilled.

A student claims that the expression “9 times the sum of a number and 13" is translated to the algebraic expression 9n + 13. Is
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, the student is not correct. The correct expression is 9(n+13).

Step-by-step explanation:

"9 times the sum of a number and 13" means you must multiply 9 by the sum, not just by the number. 9n + 13 would be "the sum of 9 times a number and 13." Slightly different wording.

B: Alex is 12 years older than George.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The ratio of George age to Carl's age is 1:12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of George be 'g'.

Let the age of Alex be 'a'.

Also Let the age of Carl be 'c'.

Given:

The sum of their ages is 68.

So equation can be framed as;

g+a+c=68 \ \ \ \ equation 1

Also Given:

Alex is 12 years older than George.

So equation can be framed as;

a =g+12 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Given:

Carl is three times older than Alex.

c=3a

But a =g+12

So we get;

c = 3(g+12) \\\\c= 3g+36 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1 we get;

g+a+c=68\\\\g+g+12+3g+36=68\\\\5g+48=68

Subtracting both side by 48 using subtraction property of equality we get;

5g+48-48=68-48\\\\5g=20

Now Dividing both side by 5 using Division property of equality we get;

\frac{5g}{5}=\frac{20}{5}\\\\g =4

Hence George age g = 4 \ years

Now Alex age a=g+12 = 4+12 =16\ years

Also Carl's age c=3g+36=3\times 4+36 =12+36 =48\ years

Now we need to find the ratio of George age to Carl's age.

\frac{g}{c}=\frac{4}{48} = \frac{1}{12}

Hence  the ratio of George age to Carl's age is 1:12.
