Economists often track employment trends by measuring the proportion of people who are "underemployed," meaning they are either

unemployed or would like to work full time but are only working part-time. In the summer of 2013, 17.6% of Americans were "underemployed." The mayor of Thicksburg wants to show the voters that the situation is not as bad in his town as it is in the rest of the country. His staff takes a simple random sample of 300 Thicksburg residents and finds that 45 of them are underemployed. Do the data give convincing evidence that the proportion of underemployed in Thicksburg is lower than elsewhere in the country?

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 45 and divide by 300 to find the percent that are underemployed

45/ 300 =.15

Changing to percent form

15%

The sample is fairly small.  Depending on the population of Thicksburg, this could be too small to give an accurate representation.  Less than 3% difference between the national average and the population of Thicksburg is not enough to convince the people that their population has significantly lower underemployment

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
hoa [83]

Answer:

y = -x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form =>  y = mx+b

To find 'm', the slope, pick 2 coordinates.

(0,3)

(2,1)

Use this equation to find the slope using these 2 coordinates: (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

(3 - 1)/(0 - 2) = -1

m = slope = -1

'b' is the y-intersept, or the point when a line passes through the y-axis. That's (0,3).

b = y-intercept = 3

<em>So the equation will be y = -1x + 3, or y = -x + 3</em>

Multiply. <br> 8 1/2 -2 2/3
MrRissso [65]

Answer: -\frac{68}{3} or -22\ 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must:

- Convert the mixed numbers to fractions, as following:

8\ 1/2=\frac{((8*2)+1)}{2}=\frac{17}{2}

2\ 2/3=\frac{((3(2)+2)}{3}=\frac{8}{3}

- Multiply both fractions. Mutilply the numerators and the denominators:

(\frac{17}{2})(-\frac{8}{3})=-\frac{136}{6}

- Simplify. Therefore, you obtain that the answer is:

-\frac{68}{3} or -22\ 2/3

A sample of n = 4 scores is selected from a population with m = 40 with s = 8, and the sample mean is M = 43. What is the standa
vladimir2022 [97]
Standard error (SE)
se=   \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} }
Or

se =  \sqrt{ \frac{ {s}^{2} }{n} }

Therefore, SE of the mean = (8)/(2) =4
