Answer:

z= 3.63

z for  significance level = 0.05 is ± 1.645

Step-by-step explanation:

Here p = 42% = 0.42

n= 500

We formulate our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0: p= 0.42     against Ha : p> 0.42 One tailed test

From this we can find q which is equal to 1-p= 1-0.42 = 0.58

Taking p`= 0.5

Now using the z  test

z= p`- p/ √p(1-p)/n

Putting the values

z= 0.5- 0.42/ √0.42*0.58/500

z= 0.5- 0.42/ 0.0220

z= 3.63

For one tailed test the value of z for  significance level = 0.05 is ± 1.645

Since the calculated value does not fall in the critical region we reject our null hypothesis  and accept the alternative hypothesis that more than 42%  people owned cats.

You have set up a webpage for your company. your logo took up 2/7 of your allotted space on the main page and the location infor
Maksim231197 [3]
So we want to find how much more space the logo took up.

So just subtract the location info from the logo space.

2/7 - 1/10

To subtract, you just want to find a common denominator. In this case it would be 70.

2/7 * 10/10 - 1/10 * 7/7

20/70 - 7/70

Then just subtract.

13/70

So that's the fraction. For the percent, just divide.

13/70 = 0.186 ish

Or, 18.6% ish
