A publisher reports that 38%38% of their readers own a laptop. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage

is actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 340340 found that 32%32% of the readers owned a laptop. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer: - 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = population proportion

po = sample proportion.

From the question,

p = 38% = 38/100 = 0.38

po = 32% = 32/100 = 0.32

Sample size (n) = 340.

Since our sample size is greater than 30 ( n= 340) we will be making use of a z test for our test statistics.

The population standard deviation of the data set is given below as

σ = √p(1 - p).

σ = √0.38 (1 - 0.38)

σ = √0.38 × 0.62

σ =√0.2356

σ = 0.49.

Z score = po - p/ (σ/√n)

Z score = 0.32 - 0.38/ (0.49/√340)

Z score = - 0.06 / 0.0266

Z score = - 0.71

A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 most. One month later there were 132 most. Ready func

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$y=120 * 1.1^x$ --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$x \to months$

$y \to mice$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ --- Monday

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

$y=ab^x$

In $(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ , we have:

$120 = a * b^0$

$120 = a * 1$

$120 = a$

$a=120$

In $(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ , we have:

$132 = a * b^1$

$132 = a * b$

Substitute: $a=120$

$132 = 120 * b$

Solve for b

$b = \frac{132}{120}$

$b = 1.1$

So, the function is:

$y=ab^x$

$y=120 * 1.1^x$

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

$y =a(1 + r)^x$

Compare to: $y =ab^x$

$1 + r = b$

Make r the subject

$r = b-1$

Substitute $b = 1.1$

$r = 1.1-1$

$r = 0.1$

Express as percentage

$r = 0.1*100\%$

$r = 10\%$
