Ignoring those who said they weren't sure, there were 297 men asked, and 183 said yes, they had driven a car when they probably

had too much alcohol. Does this provide statistically significant evidence that a majority of men in the population (that is, more than half) would say that they had driven a car when they probably had too much alcohol, if asked

Answer:

z=\frac{0.616-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{297}}}=3.998  

p_v =2*P(z>3.998)=0.0000639  

With the most common significance levels used \alpha= 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 we see that the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can say that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given  

n=297 represent the random sample of male taken

X=183 represent the  men who said yes, they had driven a car when they probably had too much alcohol

\hat p=\frac{183}{297}=0.616 estimated proportion of men who said yes, they had driven a car when they probably had too much alcohol

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Hypothesis to test

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the majority of men in the population (that is, more than half) would say that they had driven a car when they probably had too much alcohol, and the system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

After replace we got:

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.616-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{297}}}=3.998  

Decision

We have a right tailed test so then the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>3.998)=0.0000639  

With the most common significance levels used \alpha= 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 we see that the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can say that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.5

Answer:

7over9 or -7over9

Step-by-step explanation:

81x power 2 - 8 = 41

(left side) (right side)

first we let the 8 from left side go to the right side,so it will be +8:

81x power 2 = 41+ 8

=49

so now we let the 81 from left side go to right side, so it will be ÷81:

x power 2= 49 over 81

and now we let the power 2 (square) go to the other side so it will become square root:

x = + - √49 over 81

at the end, you will get 2 answers which is 7 over 9 and - 7 over 9

Two quadratic functions are shown.
slava [35]

Answer:

Option (1) is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function 1,

f(x) = 4x² + 8x + 1

     = 4(x² + 2x) + 1

     = 4(x² + 2x + 1 - 1) + 1

     = 4(x² + 2x + 1) - 4 + 1

f(x) = 4(x + 1)² - 3

This graph opens up with the vertex or minimum point at (-1, -3)

So, the minimum value of the function is (-3) at x = -1.

Function (2)

From the given table minimum value of the function is 0 at x = -1 or minimum point as (-1, 0)

Therefore, Function 1 has the least minimum value and its coordinates are (-1, -3)

Option (1) is the correct option.
