A study is planned to compare the proportion of men who dislike anchovies with the proportion of women who dislike anchovies. Th

e study seeks to determine if the proportions of men and women who dislike anchovies are different. A sample of 41 men was taken and the LaTeX: \hat{p}p ^ estimate for the true proportion of men who dislike anchovies was determined to be 0.67. A sample of 56 women was also taken and the LaTeX: \hat{p}p ^ estimate for the true proportion of women who dislike anchovies was determined to be 0.84. Are the requirements satisfied to perform this hypothesis test? Why?

Answer:

The requirements are satisifed since we have the proportion estimated, the sample sizes provided, we assume random sampling for the selection of the data and the distribution for the difference of proportions can be considered as normal

z=\frac{0.67-0.84}{\sqrt{0.755(1-0.755)(\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{56})}}=-1.923  

Step-by-step explanation:

The requirements are satisifed since we have the proportion estimated, the sample sizes provided, we assume random sampling for the selection of the data and the distribution for the difference of proportions can be considered as normal

Data given and notation  

n_{M}=41 sample of male selected

n_{W}=56 sample of demale selected

p_{M}=0.57 represent the proportion of men who dislike anchovies

p_{WCB}=0.84 represent the proportion of women who dislike anchovies

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion for men is different from women  , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{M} = p_{W}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{M} \neq p_{W}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}   (1)

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{M}+X_{W}}{n_{M}+n_{W}}=\frac{0.67+0.84}{2}=0.755

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.  

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.67-0.84}{\sqrt{0.755(1-0.755)(\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{56})}}=-1.923

umka21 [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Silvia: 2 pages to 5 minutes

      into...

Silvia: 1 page to __ minutes

<u>Find Unit Rate</u> : 5/2= 2.5

Unit Rate for Silvia is  2.5

<u>Written out</u> : 2 pages x 2.5 = 5 minutes

<u>Example</u> : 1 page to 2.5  minutes

<u>What we found</u> : ___ pages to 60 minutes(60 divided by 2.5) is  

<h2>24 pages to 60 minutes</h2>

Silvia's sister: 3 pages to 6 minutes

     into...

Silvia's sister: 1 pages to ___ minutes

<u>Find Unit Rate</u> : 6/3= 2

Unit Rate for Silvia is  2

<u>Written out</u> : 3 pages x 2 = 6 minutes

<u>Example</u> : 1 page to 2  minute

<u>What we found</u> : ___ pages to 60 minutes(60 divide by 2) is

<h2>30 pages to 60 minutes  </h2>

<u>Final Step</u> : 30 - 24 = 6

The radius of a circle is 14.2 m. Find the circumference to the nearest tenth.​
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

C=89.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the circumference of a circle is C=2piR (or C=piD). Now, when calculating, plug in the numbers, giving you C=2pi14.2. Multiply everything, you get a super long irrational number; just round. You will get 89.2.
