A professor wishes to discover if seniors skip more classes than freshmen. Suppose he knows that freshmen skip 2% of their class

es. He randomly samples a group of seniors and out of 2521 classes, the group skipped 77.
1. Based on the sample, does it appear that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes?
2. State the critical value (CV), test statistic (TS), and decision from the test. (Use α = 0.01.)

Answer:

We conclude that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes at 0.01 level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a professor wishes to discover if seniors skip more classes than freshmen. Suppose he knows that freshmen skip 2% of their classes.

He randomly samples a group of seniors and out of 2521 classes, the group skipped 77.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Let p = percentage of seniors who skip their classes.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 2%   {means that seniors skip less than or equal to 2% of their classes}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 2%   {means that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                                   T.S.  = \frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of seniors who skipped their classes = \frac{77}{2521}

           n = sample of classes = 2521

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{\frac{77}{2521} -0.02}{{\sqrt{\frac{\frac{77}{2521}(1-\frac{77}{2521})}{2521} } } } }

                               =  3.08

The value of the test statistics is 3.08.

Now at 0.01 significance level, <u>the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test</u>. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 2.3263 < 3.08, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes.

a rectangular fish tank 60 centimeters by 15 centimeters by 34 centimeters is 1/3 full of water. find the volume of water needed
son4ous [18]

Answer:

20,400\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the tank

V=(60)(15)(34)=30,600\ cm^{3}

step 2

we know that

If the tank is 1/3 full of water

then

the volume of water required to completely fill the tank is equal to 2/3 of the tank capacity

so

(2/3)30,600=20,400\ cm^{3}

3,806,000 is the correct answer.

There are three in the millions place and 806 in the thousands. There are no numbers in the hundreds so you place zeros.
