(Based on Q1 ~ Q3) According to the Bureau of the Census, 18.1% of the U.S. population lives in the Northeast, 21.9% inn the Mid

west, 36.7% in the South, and 23.3% in the West.. In a random sample of 200 recent calls to a national 800-member hotline, 39 of the calls were from the Northeast, 55 from the Midwest, 60 from the South, and 46 from the West. At the 0.05 level, can we conclude that the geographical distribution of hotline callers could be the same as the U.S. population distribution?

Answer:

We can therefore conclude that the geographical distribution of hotline callers could be the same as the U.S population distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null Hypothesis: Geographical distribution of hotline callers could be the same as the U.S. population distribution

Alternative hypothesis: Geographical distribution of hotline callers could not be the same as the U.S. population distribution

The populations considered are the Midwest, South, Northeast, and west.

The number of categories, k = 4

Number of recent calls = 200

Let the number of estimated parameters that must be estimated, m = 0

The degree of freedom is given by the formula:

df = k - 1-m

df = 4 -1 - 0 = 3

Let the significance level be, α = 5% = 0.05

For  α = 0.05, and df = 3,

from the chi square distribution table, the critical value = 7.815

<u>Observed and expected frequencies of calls for each of the region:</u>

<u>Northeast</u>

Observed frequency = 39

It contains 18.1% of the US Population

The probability = 0.181

Expected frequency of call = 0.181 * 200 = 36.2

<u>Midwest</u>

Observed frequency = 55

It contains 21.9% of the US Population

The probability = 0.219

Expected frequency of call = 0.219 * 200 =43.8

<u>South</u>

Observed frequency = 60

It contains 36.7% of the US Population

The probability = 0.367

Expected frequency of call = 0.367 * 200 = 73.4

<u>West</u>

Observed frequency = 46

It contains 23.3% of the US Population

The probability = 0.233

Expected frequency of call = 0.233 * 200 = 46

x^{2} = \sum \frac{(O_{i} - E_{i})  ^{2} }{E_{i} } ,   i = 1, 2,.........k

Where O_{i} = observed frequency

E_{i} = Expected frequency

Calculate the test statistic value, x²

x^{2} = \frac{(39 - 36.2)^{2} }{36.2} + \frac{(55 - 43.8)^{2} }{43.8} + \frac{(60 - 73.4)^{2} }{73.4} + \frac{(46 - 46.6)^{2} }{46.6}

x^{2} = 5.535

Since the test statistic value, x²= 5.535 is less than the critical value = 7.815, the null hypothesis will not be rejected, i.e. it will be accepted. We can therefore conclude that the geographical distribution of hotline callers could be the same as the U.S population distribution.

Find the percent of the area under the density curve where x is more than 3. <br>​
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The percent of the area under the density curve where x is more that 3 is 25 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density curve is a linear function, the area under the curve can be calculated by the geometric formula for a triangle, defined by the following expression:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (x_{f} - x_{o})\cdot  (y_{f}-y_{o}) (1)

Where:

A - Area, in square units.

x_{f} - x_{o} - Base of the triangle, in units.

y_{f} - y_{o} - Height of the triangle, in units.

The percent of the area is the ratio of triangle areas under the density curve multiplied by 100 per cent, that is:

x = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5-3)\cdot (0.25) }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (5-1)\cdot (0.5) }\times 100\,\%

x = 25\,\%

The percent of the area under the density curve where x is more that 3 is 25 %.

245 is a natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, or real numbers?
koban [17]

Answer: Everything but "irrational number"

================================================

Explanation:

The number 245 is a natural number since the set of natural numbers is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...} basically the set of counting numbers. More technically, the set of natural numbers is the set of positive whole numbers.

The number 245 is also an integer. It does not have any decimal or fractional parts. The set of integers includes negative whole numbers as well.

The number 245 is a whole number for similar reasoning as it being an integer.

The number 245 is a rational number. Why? Because we can write 245 as 245/1. In other words, 245 = 245/1. Because we can form a fraction of two integers, this shows us 245 is rational. Note: 0 cannot be in the denominator.

The number 245 is NOT an irrational. If a number is rational, then it cannot be irrational. The very definition of "irrational" means "not rational". An example of an irrational number is sqrt(2). We cannot write this as a fraction of two integers.

The number 245 is a real number. If you haven't learned about complex numbers yet, then every number you encounter is a real number.

----------

To summarize, 245 is a natural number, a whole number, an integer, a rational number, and a real number.

A much shorter way to say this is "everything but irrational" since irrational is the only non-answer.

Find r if (r, 6) and (5, -4) are two points on a line with a slope of 5/7 (Hint: use the slope formula)
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have

(r,\ 6),\ (5,\ -4)\\\\m=\dfrac{5}{7}

Substitute

\dfrac{-4-6}{5-r}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{-10}{5-r}=\dfrac{5}{7}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\5(5-r)=(-10)(7)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\25-5r=-70\qquad|-25\\\\-5r=-95\qquad|:(-5)\\\\\boxed{r=19}
