A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 290 people over

the age of 55, 68 dream in black and white and among 288 people under the age of 25, 19 dream in black and white. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those underIdentify the test statistic?Identify the p value?Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence level?What is the conclusion base on the hypothesis test?What is the conclusion base on the confidence level?

Answer:

he proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under.

The proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white lies in the range (0.112, 0.226).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to determine if the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:  

<em>H</em>₀: The proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is not greater than the proportion of those under, i.e. <em>p</em>₁ - <em>p</em>₂ ≤ 0.  

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under, i.e. <em>p</em>₁ - <em>p</em>₂ > 0.  

The information provided is:

n₁ = 290

n₂ = 288

X₁ = 68

X₂ = 19

Compute the sample proportions and total proportions as follows:

 \hat p_{1}=\frac{X_{1}}{n_{1}}=\frac{68}{290}=0.235\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{X_{2}}{n_{1}}=\frac{19}{288}=0.066\\\\\hat P=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{68+19}{290+288}=0.151

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat P(1-\hat P)[\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}

    =\frac{0.235-0.066}{\sqrt{0.151(1-0.151)[\frac{1}{290}+\frac{1}{288}]}}\\\\=5.67

The test statistic value is 5.67.

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

Compute the p-value as follows:

 p-value=P(Z>5.67)\\=1-P(Z

The p-value of the test is quite small.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% significance level.

Thus, the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under.

The significance level of the test is 5%.

Then the confidence level will be:

Confidence level = 100% - Significance level

                             = 100% - 5%

                             = 95%

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions as follows:

CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p{2})}{n_{2}}}

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is <em>z</em> = 1.96.

CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p{2})}{n_{2}}}

      =(0.235-0.066)\pm1.96\cdot\sqrt{\frac{0.235(1-0.235)}{290}+\frac{0.066(1-0.066)}{288}}\\\\=0.169\pm 0.057\\\\=(0.112, 0.226)

The null hypothesis would be rejected if the null value, i.e. (<em>p</em>₁ - <em>p</em>₂) ≤ 0 is not contained in the interval.

The 95% confidence interval consist of values greater than 0.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Concluding that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white lies in the range (0.112, 0.226).

The hang time of a basketball player who jumps a verticle distance of 2 feet (0.6m) is 2/3 seconds. What will be the hang time i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The hang time will be the same because the amount of time spent in the air is dependent on the vertical height. The fact that the player covers horizontal distance is simply due to him also pushing forward, instead of only upwards.

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solutuion A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solutuion A
ratelena [41]

a = amount (in oz) of solution A

b = amount of solution B

The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so

a + b = 110

Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So

0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5

Solve for a and b:

b = 110 - a

0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5

0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5

0.25 a = 16.5

a = 66  ==>  b = 44
