Which function is a quadratic function

Adecco Workplace Insights Survey sampled men and women workers and asked if they expected to get a raise or promotion this year

fgiga [73]

Answer:

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1-p_2$ $\leq$ 0 or $p_1$ $\leq$ $p_2$

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_a$ : $p_1-p_2$ > 0 or $p_1$ > $p_2$

(b) $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of men = $\frac{104}{200}$ = 0.52

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of women = $\frac{74}{200}$ = 0.37

(c) P-value is 0.0011.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Adecco Workplace Insights Survey sampled men and women workers and asked if they expected to get a raise or promotion this year (USA Today, February 16, 2012).

Suppose the survey sampled 200 men and 200 women. If 104 of the men replied yes and 74 of the women replied yes.

Let $p_1$ = population proportion of men who replied yes

$p_2$ = population proportion of women who replied yes

(a) Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1-p_2$ $\leq$ 0 or $p_1$ $\leq$ $p_2$ {means that the population proportion of men is less than or equal to the population proportion of women}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_a$ : $p_1-p_2$ > 0 or $p_1$ > $p_2$ {means that the population proportion of men is more than the population proportion of women}

(b) $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of men = $\frac{104}{200}$ = 0.52

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of women = $\frac{74}{200}$ = 0.37

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample z proportion statistics;

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 men who replied yes = 0.52

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of women who replied yes = 0.37

$n_1$ = sample of men = 200

$n_2$ = sample of women = 200

So, test statistics = $\frac{(0.52-0.37)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{200} +\frac{0.37(1-0.37)}{200} } }$

= 3.05

Now at 0.01 significance level, the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the population proportion of men is greater than the population proportion of women.

P-value is given by the following formula;

P(Z > 3.05) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 3.05)

= 1 - 0.99886 = 0.0011

Hence, the p-value is 0.0011.

Well buying organic is expensive because the product is much much harder to grow. No pesticides or fertilizer means there's a ve

kolezko [41]

That is true. It is much cheaper and economically safer for farms to not grow organic foods. I’m fact, sometimes it is even better for the environment for food to not be grown organically as it puts less stress on the farmland.

Show that 4(m + 7) + (m + 3)^2 = (m + 3)(m + 7) + 16

anygoal [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(m+7)+(m+3)^2=(m+3)(m+7)+16\\\\L_S=4(m+7)+(m+3)^2\\\\\text{use the distributive property}:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\text{and formula}:\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\L_S=(4)(m)+(4)(7)+m^2+2(m)(3)+3^2\\\\L_S=4m+28+m^2+6m+9\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\L_S=m^2+(4m+6m)+(28+9)\\\\L_S=m^2+10m+37$

$R_S=(m+3)(m+7)+16\\\\\text{use FOIL}:(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\R_S=(m)(m)+(m)(7)+(3)(m)+(3)(7)+16\\\\R_S=m^2+7m+3m+21+16\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\R_S=m^2+(7m+3m)+(21+16)\\\\R_S=m^2+10m+37\\\\\boxed{L_S=R_S}$

Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk

agasfer [191]

Answer:

y = (-mi/h)x + b

y = total distance left to cover

-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground

b = the total distance to cover from start to finish

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with mx being the slope and b being the y intercept

y = mx + b

all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by x represented as m...

y = (-mi/h)x + b

note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD

b would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with
