The points A(-3,6), B(8,6), C(8,-4)and D(-3,-4)are vertices of rectangle ABCD. A point is selected at random from the interior o

f this rectangle. What is the probability that the x-coordinate of the point is negative and the y-coordinate of the point is positive?

Answer:

the probability that the x-coordinate of the point is negative and the y-coordinate of the point is positive  is 16.36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each point has the same probability to be chosen  ( uniform probability distribution in the rectangle area ) then the probability of choosing a negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate is the ratio of the area with those requirements over the total area of the rectangle.

therefore

Ar= area of negative x-values and positive y-values = (-3)*6 = 18

AT= total area of the rectangle = [8-(-3) ]*[6-(-4)] = 110

then

probability = Ar/AT = 18/110 = 0.1636 = 16.36%

Serhud [2]

Answer:

We conclude that there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of females.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 400

p = 50% = 0.5

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of women, x = 118

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.50\\H_A: p < 0.50

This is a one-tailed test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{118}{400} = 0.45

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

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.45-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{400}}} = -2

Now, we calculate the critical value.

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.645

Since the calculated z-statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Thus, there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of females.
