The Nellie Mae organization conducts an extensive annual study of credit card usage by college students. For their 2004 study, t

hey analyzed credit bureau data for a random sample of 1,413 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 24. They found that 76% of the students sampled held a credit card. Three years earlier they had found that 83% of undergraduates sampled held a credit card. (Assume that the sample size was similar in 2001.)
1. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years.
2. Conduct an appropriate test of these hypotheses.
3. Report the test statistic and p-value and summarize your conclusion.

Answer:

1. Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p_1-p_2=0  or  p_1=p_2  

  Alternate Hypothesis<u>,</u> H_A : p_1-p_2\neq 0  or  p_1\neq p_2

2. Test statistics = 4.63

    P-value = 0.00001

3. We conclude that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Nellie Mae organization conducts an extensive annual study of credit card usage by college students.

For their 2004 study, they analyzed credit bureau data for a random sample of 1,413 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 24. They found that 76% of the students sampled held a credit card. Three years earlier they had found that 83% of undergraduates sampled held a credit card.

<em>Let  </em>p_1<em> = population proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in year 2001</em>

<em />p_2<em> = population proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in year 2004</em>

1. <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : p_1-p_2=0  or  p_1=p_2   {means that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card does not differed between these two years}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis,</u> H_A : p_1-p_2\neq 0  or  p_1\neq p_2   {means that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>Two-sample z proportion statistics</u>;

                        T.S.  = \frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p_1 = sample proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in 2001 = 83%

\hat p_2 = sample proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in 2004 = 76%

n_1 = sample of students surveyed in 2001 = 1,413

n_2 = sample of students surveyed in 2004 = 1,413

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =   \frac{(0.83-0.76)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.83(1-0.83)}{1,413} +\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{1,413}} }  

                               =  4.63

2. <u><em>Hence, the value of test statistics is 4.63.</em></u>

Also, P-value is given by the following formula;

         P-value = P(Z > 4.63) = 1 - P(Z \leq 4.63)

                                             = 1 - 0.99999 = <u>0.00001</u>

<em />

3. <em>Since in the question we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical values between -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics is does not lie within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years.

Someone help me pls <br><br>47 as the sum of ______
Elanso [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 6² +3² +1² +1² = 47

  (b) 5² +4² +2² +1² +1² = 47

  (c) 3³ +4² +2² = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

It can work reasonably well to start with the largest square less than the target number, repeating that approach for the remaining differences. When more squares than necessary are asked for, then the first square chosen may need to be the square of a number 1 less than the largest possible.

The approach where a cube is required can work the same way.

(a) floor(√47) = 6; floor(√(47 -6^2)) = 3; floor(√(47 -45)) = 1; floor(√(47-46)) = 1

__

(b) floor(√47 -1) = 5; floor(√(47-25)) = 4; ...

__

(c) floor(∛47) = 3; floor(√(47 -27)) = 4; floor(√(47 -43)) = 2

What is the total surface area of a cylinder whose length is twice the radius
lianna [129]
Lateral surface area of a cylinder: 2πrh, r is the radius, h is the height.
area of the top and bottom circle: πr²
when h=2r, the total surface area is:
2πr(2r)+πr²+πr²=6πr²
the answer is 6πr²

Find the volume of the bag and candle.Round to the nearest tenth
user100 [1]
The volume of the bag will be found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. This would be 5.5 x 3 x 8. The volume of the bag is 20.9 cubic inches. The volume of the candle would be found by using the formula for finding volume of a cylinder. V =pi(approximately 3.14) x r^2 x h, where r is the radius( half the diameter) and h is the height. V = 3.14 x 1.25 x 1.25 x 6. The volume of the cylinder would be 29.4 cubic inches.
