A report summarizes a survey of people in two independent random samples. One sample consisted of 700 young adults (age 19 to 35

) and the other sample consisted of 200 parents of children age 19 to 35. The young adults were presented with a variety of situations (such as getting married or buying a house) and were asked if they thought that their parents were likely to provide financial support in that situation. The parents of young adults were presented with the same situations and asked if they would be likely to provide financial support to their child in that situation. (a) When asked about getting married, 41% of the young adults said they thought parents would provide financial support and 43% of the parents said they would provide support. Carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the proportion of young adults who think parents would provide financial support and the proportion of parents who say they would provide support are different. (Use α = 0.05. Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μyoung adults − μparents. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Answer:

z=\frac{0.41-0.43}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{700}+\frac{0.43(1-0.43)}{200}}}=-0.51    

p_v =2*P(Z  

And we can use the following R code to find it: "2*pnorm(-0.505)"

The p value is a very high value and using any significance given \alpha=0.05 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions are not significantly different.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n_{1}=700 sample of young adults (age 19 to 35)

n_{2}=200 sample of children age 19 to 35

p_{1}=0.41 represent the proportion of young adults said they thought parents would provide financial support

p_{2}=0.43 represent the proportion of parents said they would provide support

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

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

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion for the two samples are different , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

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

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

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{p_1 (1-p_1)}{n_{1}}+\frac{p_2 (1-p_2)}{n_{2}}}}   (1)  

3) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.41-0.43}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{700}+\frac{0.43(1-0.43)}{200}}}=-0.51    

4) Statistical decision

We can calculate the p value for this test.    

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

p_v =2*P(Z  

And we can use the following R code to find it: "2*pnorm(-0.505)"

The p value is a very high value and using any significance given \alpha=0.05 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions are not significantly different.

A researcher interested in Springfield citizens' shopping habits surveys a randomly selected group of 200 Walmart shoppers. 76%
luda_lava [24]

Answer and Explanation: The results of the survey would not be accurate to the whole of springfield, as the sample was not a random sample. A random sample is where each person in a given area (Springfield in this case) has an equal chance of being surveyed. In this case, only walmart shoppers were surveyed. Therefor, the results can only apply to shoppers at walmart, not the whole of Springfield.

Meg is 6 years older than Victor. Meg's age is 2 years less than five times Victor's age. The equations below model the relation
Verdich [7]

Since no possible correct method is posted, I will suggest a couple.

Method 1: guess and check

Works well for simple problems involving integers like this one.

Victor's age must be zero or greater than one, say one.

Guess v=1, find m=v+6=7, check m=5v-2=5-2=3 no good.

we need to make v bigger

Guess v=2, find m=v+6=2+6=8, check m=5v-2=5*2-2=8 ✔

So v=2, m=8.

Method 2:

Solve the system of two equations.

since the left-hand sides is m in both equations, and since m=m, we just have to equate the right-hand sides to solve for v.

5v-2=v+6

Solve for v

5v-v = 6+2

4v=8

v=2,

so again, v=2, m=v+6=2+6=8.

Solve the compound inequality 9x ≤ –27 or 4x ≥ 36.
leva [86]

Answer:

x  ≤ – 3 or x ≥ 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : 9x ≤ –27 or 4x ≥ 36.

To find : Solve the compound inequality.

Solution : We have given  9x ≤ –27 or 4x ≥ 36.

For 9x ≤ –27 .

On dividing both sides by 9.

x  ≤ – 3.

For ,  4x ≥ 36.

On dividing both sides by 4.

x ≥ 9.

We can write x  ≤ – 3 or x ≥ 9.

Therefore,  x  ≤ – 3 or x ≥ 9.
