Not Answered Country Financial, a financial services company, uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal f

inancial fitness is changing over time (USA Today, April 4, 2012). In February of 2012, a sample of 1000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. In February of 2010, a sample of 900 adults showed 315 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. a. State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years.

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}    

z=\frac{0.410-0.350}{\sqrt{0.382(1-0.382)(\frac{1}{1000}+\frac{1}{900})}}=2.688    

p_v =2*P(Z>2.688)= 0.0072    

Comparing the p value with the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the proportions analyzed are significantly different at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

X_{1}=410 represent the number of people indicating that their financial security was more than fair  in 2012

X_{2}=315 represent the number of people indicating that their financial security was more than fair in 2010

n_{1}=1000 sample 1 selected  

n_{2}=900 sample 2 selected  

p_{1}=\frac{410}{1000}=0.410 represent the proportion estimated of people indicating that their financial security was more than fair in 2012

p_{2}=\frac{315}{900}=0.350 represent the proportion estimated of people indicating that their financial security was more than fair in 2010  

\hat p represent the pooled estimate of p

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

\alpha=0.05 significance level given  

Part a: Concepts and formulas to use    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if is there is a difference between the two proportions, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}    

Hypothesis testing

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:    

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{410+315}{1000+900}=0.382  

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.    

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:    

z=\frac{0.410-0.350}{\sqrt{0.382(1-0.382)(\frac{1}{1000}+\frac{1}{900})}}=2.688    

Statistical decision  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(Z>2.688)= 0.0072    

Comparing the p value with the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the proportions analyzed are significantly different at 5% of significance.

when you go to answer this, can someone please give me the steps on how to do it, because I think I'm doing it wrong ​
leva [86]

Answer:

TUA=123

Step-by-step explanation:

so first we find <TUS in terms of x

so 180-11x-2

178-11x

so now we can use the sum of a triangle's angles which is always 180 to find the angles in triangle TUS

178-11x+5x+10+58=180

178-6x=112

take 178 from both sides

-6x=-66

x=11

so we can do 11x11+2=TUA

TUA=123
