Philip Morris wishes to determine if there is a difference between the proportion of women and proportion of men who smoke cigar

ettes. Random samples of 110 women and 95 men reveal that 14 women and 7 men smoke cigarettes. Does the data indicate that the proportion of women who smoke cigarettes is higher than the proportion of men who do at α=.005? For the hypothesis stated above, what is the test statistic (in terms of "Women" minus "Men")?
a. (-0.0279,0.1351).
b. (-0.0297,0.1368).
c. (-0.0148, 0.1220).
d. (-0.0163, 0.1235).
e. none of these is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let 1 and 2 be the subscript for the women and men who smoke respectively. The population proportion of women and men who smoke would be p1 and p2 respectively.

p1 - p2 = difference in the proportion of women and men who smoke.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : p1 = p2

p1 - p2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : p1 > p2

p1 - p2 > 0

it is a right tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success(number of complaints)

n represents number of samples

For women

x1 = 14

n1 = 110

p1 = 14/110 = 0.13

For men,

x2 = 7

n2 = 95

p2 = 7/95 = 0.07

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

pc = (14 + 7)/(110 + 95) = 0.1

1 - pc = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

z = (p1 - p2)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

z = (0.13 - 0.07)/√(0.1)(0.9)(1/110 + 1/95)

z = 1.47

From the options given, the test statistic is

e. none of these is correct.

Since it is a right tailed test, we will look at the area to the right of z = 1.47. The p value would be

p value = 1 - 0.9292 = 0.078

Since alpha, 0.005 < than the p value, 0.078, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the data does not indicate that the proportion of women who smoke cigarettes is higher than the proportion of men who do at α=.005

If you cut a 35 inch long stick in two pieces in the ratio 2:3, how long would each part be?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

14 : 21

Step-by-step explanation:

---> 2:3 ----> 2+3=5

---> Stick's length = 35 inches

<u />

<u>For the first portion</u>

2/5 x 35

2/1 x 7

= 14 inches

<u>For the second portion</u>

3/5 x 35

3/1 x 7

= 21 inches

To confirm: 14 + 21 = 35 inches

14 : 21

Divide both by 7

2 : 3

denis23 [38]

Answer:

10.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking about the problem

The modeling function is of the form P(t)=A⋅Bf(t), where B=4B=4B, equals, 4 and f(t)=\dfrac{t}{10.5}f(t)=

10.5

t

​

f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals, start fraction, t, divided by, 10, point, 5, end fraction.

Note that each time f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis increases by 111, the quantity is multiplied by B=4B=4B, equals, 4.

Therefore, we need to find the ttt-interval over which f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis increases by 111.

Hint #22 / 3

Finding the appropriate unit interval

fff is a linear function whose slope is \dfrac{1}{10.5}

10.5

1

​

start fraction, 1, divided by, 10, point, 5, end fraction.

This means that whenever ttt increases by \Delta tΔtdelta, t, f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis increases by \dfrac{\Delta t}{10.5}

10.5

Δt

​

start fraction, delta, t, divided by, 10, point, 5, end fraction.

Therefore, for f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis to increase by 111, we need \Delta t=10.5Δt=10.5delta, t, equals, 10, point, 5. In other words, the ttt-interval we are looking for is 10.510.510, point, 5 minutes.

Hint #33 / 3

Summary

The number of people who yawned quadruples every 10.510.510, point, 5 minutes.

Point M is the midpoint of AB . Through point M a line segment XY is drawn, so that both XA and YB are perpendicular to AB . Pro
GaryK [48]

Answer:

See the proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB be a straight line on the parallelogram.

A dissection of the line (using the perpendicular line X) gives:

AY ≅ BX

Another way will be using the angles.

The angles are equal - vertically opposite angles

Hence the line  AY ≅ BX (Proved)
