A decade-old study found that the proportion, P, of high school seniors who believed that "getting rich" was an important person

al goal was 75%. A researcher decides to test whether or not that percentage still stands. He finds that, among the 215 high school seniors in his random sample, 170 believe that "getting rich" is an important goal. Can he conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the proportion has indeed changed?
Perform a two-tailed test.

The null hypothesis:
The alternative hypothesis:
The type of test statistic (list degrees of freedom if necessary):
The value of the test statistic: (Round to at least three decimal places):
the p-value:

Can we conclude that the proportion of high school seniors who believe that "getting rich" is an important goal has changed? Yes or no

Answer:

Null hypothesis: H0; P = 0.75

Alternative hypothesis: Ha; P ≠ 0.75

z = -2.55

P value = P(Z<-2.556) + P(Z>2.556) = 0.011

Decision: We FAIL to REJECT the null hypothesis

Can we conclude that the proportion of high school seniors who believe that "getting rich" is an important goal has changed = NO

Rule

If;

P-value > significance level --- accept Null hypothesis

P-value < significance level --- reject Null hypothesis

Z score > Z(at 99% confidence interval) ---- reject Null hypothesis

Z score < Z(at 99% confidence interval) ------ accept Null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

n= 250 represent the random sample taken

Null hypothesis: H0; P = 0.75

Alternative hypothesis: Ha ≠ 0.75

Test statistic z score can be calculated with the formula below;

z = (p^−po)/√{po(1−po)/n}

Where,

z= Test statistics

n = Sample size = 250

po = Null hypothesized value = 0.75

p^ = Observed proportion = 170/250 = 068

Substituting the values we have

z = (0.68-0.75)/√(0.75(1-0.75)/250)

z = −2.556

To determine the p value (test statistic) at 0.01 significance level, using a two tailed hypothesis.

P value = P(Z<-2.556) + P(Z>2.556) = 0.011

Since z at 0.01 significance level is between -2.58 and +2.58 and the z score for the test (z = -2.556) which doesn't falls with the region bounded by Z at 0.01 significance level. And also the two-tailed hypothesis P-value is 0.011 which is lower than 0.01. Then we can conclude that we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 1% significance level the null hypothesis is valid, therefore we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

AD is a diameter of a circle and AB is a chord. If AD=34cm, AB=30cm, the distance of AB from the centre of the circle is :
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

   The distance is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The chord and the diameter form one leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The other leg, BD, has length ...

  BD² +AB² = AD²

  BD² = AD² -AB² = 34² -30² = 256

  BD = √256 = 16

The segment from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the chord is the midline of triangle ABD, so is half the length of BD.

  distance from AB to the center = 16/2 = 8 . . . cm

A certain organization recommends the use of passwords with the following​ format: vowel commavowel, consonant comma consonant c
zimovet [89]

The password format is = inpray93

vowel , consonant, consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant, number, number.

There are 21 consonants, 5 vowels and 10 number choices (0-9)

Since, there are 21 consonants and repetition is allowed so for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th positions 21 choices are available. For 1st and 5th positions, 5 choices  are available and for 7th and 8th position there are 10 choices (0 to 9).

Passwords are not case sensitive which means upper case and lower case letters are same.

So, the number of passwords can be =

5\times21\times21\times21\times5\times21\times10\times10

= 486202500

Part (b) question is not given. But it can be opposite to the first part i.e when the password letters are case sensitive.

This means all the letters are different.

So, number of passwords will be =

10\times42\times42\times42\times10\times42\times10\times10

= 31116960000
