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 height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base. If the base of the triangle is x feet, and the area of the triangle i
____ [38]

Answer:

Area A = 12 = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)

5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0

Solution;

Base x = 2.4

Height h = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

base of the triangle is x feet;

Base = x

The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base;

Height = 5x - 2

the area of the triangle is 12 square feet;

Area A = 12 ft^2

The area of a triangle is;

Area A = 1/2 × base × height

Substituting the base and height;;

Area A = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)

Area A = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)

Area A = 12

12 = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply through by 2.

24 = (5x^2 - 2x)

5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0

Solving the simultaneous equation;

x = 2.4 or -2

Since the base cannot be negative;

x = 2.4 ft

Height h = 5x -2 = 5(2.4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

Base x = 2.4

Height h = 10 ft
