Over the past several years, the proportion of one-person households has been increasing. The Census Bureau would like to test t

he hypothesis that the proportion of one-person households exceeds 0.27. A random sample of 125 households found that 43 consisted of one person. The Census Bureau would like to set α = 0.05. Use the critical value approach to test this hypothesis. Explain.

Answer:

For this case we can find the critical value with the significance level \alpha=0.05 and if we find in the right tail of the z distribution we got:

z_{\alpha}= 1.64

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:  

z=\frac{0.344 -0.27}{\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{125}}}=1.86  

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion of households with one person is significantly higher than 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following dataset given:

X= 43 represent the households consisted of one person

n= 125 represent the sample size

\hat p= \frac{43}{125}= 0.344 estimated proportion of  households consisted of one person

We want to test the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: p \leq 0.27

Alternative hypothesis: p>0.27

And for this case we can find the critical value with the significance level \alpha=0.05 and if we find in the right tail of the z distribution we got:

z_{\alpha}= 1.64

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:  

z=\frac{0.344 -0.27}{\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{125}}}=1.86  

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion of households with one person is significantly higher than 0.27

The answer is B. To find the Circumference (what you're looking for) you use 2×pi×radius. Which is 2×pi×7. In terms of pi that's just 2×7, which equals 14. So that means your answer is 14pi.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

She did not qualify the exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total no of question in a test = 20

No. of question answered correctly = 16

Percentage of question answered correctly

(\frac{16}{20}) 100 = 80

But in order to get in the exam the student must have to score at least 90 %. But she got only 80 % so she did not qualify the exam.

A bacteria culture starts with 100 bacteria and doubles in size every half hour.
taurus [48]

Answer:

y=25600

y=100(2)^{2t}

y=252

Step-by-step explanation:

A bacteria culture starts with 100 bacteria and doubles in size every half hour.

y=100(2)^{2x}

where x represents the number of hours

(a) t= 4 hours

Plug in 4 for t  and find out the number of bacteria y

y=100(2)^{2 \cdot 4}\\y=25600

25600 bacteria

y=100(2)^{2t}

convert 40 seconds into hour

40 divide by 60 =2/3

y=100(2)^{2\frac{2}{3} }\\y=100(2)^{\frac{4}{3} }\\\\y=252

The graph is attached below

densk [106]

Answer:

The attached graph shows my answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph has to start at the top because the number of carrots has to decrease and the graph slants down to the right because the time has to increase. Then the situation says that he eats one carrot at a time until <u>half</u> are eaten. The graph shows the line going down until approximately half. Then he doesn't eat any more, so the line is horizontal until the end of the graph to show no change.
