Answer:

Random variable: for this case represent the number of complaints in 2007

Population parameter: represent the real proportion of complaints in 2007 p

Hypothesis to verify

We want to check if the true proportion of complaints in 2007 is equal to 0.23, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.23  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.23  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=1432 represent the random sample taken

X=321 represent the number of complaints

\hat p=\frac{321}{1432}=0.224 estimated proportion of complaints in 2007

p_o=0.23 is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

Random variable: for this case represent the number of complaints in 2007

Population parameter: represent the real proportion of complaints in 2007 p

Hypothesis to verify

We want to check if the true proportion of complaints in 2007 is equal to 0.23, the system of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.23  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.23

Year      Net Profit
1            <span>$14,250.00
2            $15,390.00
3            $16,621.20
4            $17,950.90</span>2

We need to get the increase of the net profit of the current year from the previous year.

Percentage increase = (Current year - Previous Year)/ Previous Year    * 100%

Year 2:  (15,390 - 14, 250) / 14,250   * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 3: (16,621.20 - 15,390) / 15,390 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 4: (17,950.90 - 16,621.20) / 16,621.20 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

Every year the net income increases by 8%. So, the net income in Year 5 will be:

17,950.90 x 1.08 = 19,386.97  Choice D.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the confidence interval is a term that defines a range of values with the probability to contain a population value that has an actual degree of confidence.

This is represented in a situation where population means falls in between upper and lower intervals.

Hence, in this case, the correct interpretation is option C: One can be​ 95% confident that the true proportion of all students receiving financial aid is between 0.52 and 0.66

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Complete question :

Sweets are sold loose, or pre-packed in 120g bags.The 120g bags are £1.49 each.The loose sweets are £0.89 for 100g.

By calculating the price per gram, determine which is better value.

Answer:

100 g bag

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 120g bag:

Price per gram :

Price / Numbe of gram

1.49 / 120 = 0.0124 gram per bag

For the 100 g bag :

0.89 / 100

= $0.0089per gram

Since $0.0089 is < $0.0124

Then the 100g bag is of better value
