The Pew Research Center reported that 73% of Americans who own a cell phone also use text messaging. In a recent local survey, 1

55 out of 200 cell phone owners used text messaging.
Since a Z test is appropriate, test whether the population proportion of Americans who use text messaging is different from 73%. Use level of significance α = 0.10.
Hint: Do you need to conduct a t-test or a z-test? Next, find the p-value, using p-value, and level of significance, you can see if the decision (Reject or Do Not reject H0.) You can also find the critical value(s) to finalize your decision.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.775 -0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.73(1-0.73)}{200}}}=1.433  

Now we can find the p value. Since we have a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.433)=0.152  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

Do Not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=200 represent the sample size slected

X=155 represent the cell phone owners used text messaging

\hat p=\frac{155}{200}=0.775 estimated proportion of cell phone owners used text messaging

p_o=0.73 is the value to verify

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level

We need to conduct a z test for a proportion

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the true proportion of cell phone owners used text messaging is different from 0.73 so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:p=0.73  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.73  

The statistic to check this hypothesis is given by:

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

Replacing the data given we got:

z=\frac{0.775 -0.73}{\sqrt{\frac{0.73(1-0.73)}{200}}}=1.433  

Now we can find the p value. Since we have a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.433)=0.152  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.1 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

Do Not reject H0

how many different four letter permutations can be formed using four letters out of the first 12 in the alphabet?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

11,800 different four letter permutations can be formed using four letters out of the first 12 in the alphabet

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

Permutations of four letters from a set of 12 letters. So

P_{(12,4)} = \frac{12!}{(12-4)!} = 11800

11,800 different four letter permutations can be formed using four letters out of the first 12 in the alphabet

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope:
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

<h2>y = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line has slope 0, then it's a horizontal line.

A horizontal line has an equation:

<h2>y = a</h2>

where a is any real number.

The line passes through point (-12, 3) → x = -12, y = 3.

Therefore the equation is

<h2>y = 3</h2>
