Answer:

a) 0.4770

b) 3.9945

c) z-statistics seem a large value

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a. Find the standard deviation of the sample proportion based on the null hypothesis</u>

Based on the null hypothesis:

p_{0}: 0.35

and the standard deviation σ = \sqrt{p_{0} *(1-p_{0}) } =\sqrt{0.35 *0.65 } ≈0.4770

<u>b. Find the z statistic</u>

z-statistic is calculated as follows:

z=\frac{X-p_{o} }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X is the proportion of employees in the survey who take advantage of the Credit Union (\frac{138}{300}=0.46)
  • p_{0} is the proportion in null hypothesis (0.35)
  • s is the standard deviation (0.4770)
  • N is the sample size (300)

putting the numbers in the formula:

z=\frac{0.46-0.35} }{\frac{0.4770}{\sqrt{300} } } = 3.9945

<u>c. Does the z statistic seem like a particularly large or small value?</u>

z-statistics seem a large value, which will cause us to reject the null hypothesis.

Rewrite the radical expression as an exponential expression, and then simplify.

The third answer option is correct.  sqrt(x) = x^(1/2).  So sqrt(121) = 121^(1/2).

Which situation is best represented by the following equation?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The first one, 14 weeks of dance classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid $753.95 as a total for all of the classes, not just one week. She paid her registration free, which you subtract from 753.95 to get 630.00. She pays 45 per week, so you divide 630 by 45 to get the amount of weeks she attended dance classes, or 14 weeks.

In a rectangle, the length is five times the width.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:The perimeter =12w

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width represent W and Length represent L

Length= 5 x width

L=5W

W=W

Since perimeter =2(L+w)

Substitute for L=5w

=2(5w+w)

=2(6w)

=12w
