AT&T would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less tha

n the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans. A random sample of 200 18- to 34-year-old Americans found that 126 owned a smartphone. A random sample of 175 35- to 49-year-old Americans found that 119 owned a smartphone. If Population 1 is defined as 18- to 34-year-old Americans and Population 2 is defined as 35- to 49-year-old Americans, the correct hypothesis statement for this hypothesis test would be

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis can be written as:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans.

This claim will be reflected in the alternnative hypothesis, that will state that the population proportion 1 (18 to 34) is significantly smaller than the population proportion 2 (35 to 49).

On the contrary, the null hypothesis will state that the population proportion 1 is ot significantly smaller than the population proportion 2.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis can be written as:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=200 has a proportion of p1=0.63.

p_1=X_1/n_1=126/200=0.63

The sample 2, of size n2=175 has a proportion of p2=0.68.

p_2=X_2/n_2=119/175=0.68

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.05.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.63-0.68=-0.05

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{126+119}{200+175}=\dfrac{245}{375}=0.653

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{200}+\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{175}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.001132+0.001294}=\sqrt{0.002427}=0.049

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{-0.05-0}{0.049}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.049}=-1.01

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.1554) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans.

In the isosceles triangle ABC, we have AB=AC=4. The altitude from B meets AC at H. If AH=3(HC) then determine BC.
Inga [223]

Answer:

BC=√7

Step-by-step explanation:

AC=4

AC=AH+HC

=3HC+HC

=4HC

HC=1/4AC=1/4×4=1

AH=3HC=3×1=3

BH⊥ AC

AB=AC=4

BC=\sqrt{AB^2-AH^2} =\sqrt{4^2-3^2} =\sqrt{16-9} =\sqrt{7}

Mark and don are planning to sell each of their marble collections at a garage sale. if don has 4 more than 5 times the number o
natita [175]

Mark and Don have to sell 11 and 59 marbles respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Lets assume, the number of marbles Mark has  is x

As, Don has 4 more than 5 times the number of marbles mark has, so the number of marbles Don has = 5x+ 4

Question says that the total number of marbles is 70. So, the equation will be...

x+(5x+4)= 70\\ \\ 6x+4= 70 \\ \\ 6x = 70-4\\ \\ 6x=66 \\ \\ x= \frac{66}{6}= 11

<em>So, the number of marbles Mark has = 11 </em>

<em>and the number of marbles Don has = (5*11)+4 = 55+4= 59</em>

2. A square is divided into smaller squares and
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

1.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length is divided into 4 parts,

Length of a small square = 2/4

= 0.5 ft

Hence,

Area of 1 small square = (0.5)(0.5)

= 0.25 ft^2

Area of shaded portion = Area of 6 small squares

= 6(0.25)

= <u>1.5 ft^2</u>
