Answer:

a) The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.53\\\\H_a:\pi

b) If 300 families were sampled, for a significance level of 5%, there is enough evidence to support the claim that a smaller proportion of American families own stocks or stock funds this year than 10 years ago (P-value = 0.001).

 

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim that we want to have evidence to support is that a smaller proportion of American families own stocks or stock funds this year than 10 years ago.

The hypothesis for this test should state:

- For the null hypothesis, that the population proportion is not significantly different from 53%.

H_0:\pi=0.53

- For the alternative hypothesis, that the population proportion is significantly less than 53%.

H_a: \pi

If 300 families are sampled, we can perform a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that a smaller proportion of American families own stocks or stock funds this year than 10 years ago.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.53\\\\H_a:\pi

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=300.

The sample proportion is p=0.44.

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.53*0.47}{300}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.00083}=0.029

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.44-0.53+0.5/300}{0.029}=\dfrac{-0.088}{0.029}=-3.065

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.001) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that a smaller proportion of American families own stocks or stock funds this year than 10 years ago.

8.)What is the Measurement of angle 2?<br><br> 9.) What is the measure of angle 7?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

angle 2 = 90° {corresponding angles}

angle 7 + angle 5 = 180° {linear pair}

or, angle 7 + 100° = 180° {angle 5 is corresponding to 100°}

so, angle 7 = 80°

What is greater 1/3 or 1/8
Ludmilka [50]
1/3 is greater. Picture a pie with nothing cut into it. Then, you cut 3 equal pieces out of it, leaving no pie remaining. So, if you take 1 piece, you have 2 pieces that you didn't take. So if you do the exact same thing, but you cut <em>8 </em>pieces out of the pie and you take 1 piece, there are still 7 pieces remaining. So 1/8 is a smaller part of the pie than the 1/3, since you are cutting the pie into 8 identical pieces while with 1/3 you are cutting the same sized pie into 3 pieces. Sorry if I was confusing, just ask me if you want an easier-to-understand explanation. Also, if you pick a "brainliest" answer, it actually <em>gives </em>you points.

Combine like terms fir the following expression: -3x+14-11+11x
babymother [125]

Answer:

8x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression -3x + 14 - 11 + 11x, we have two pairs of like terms that can be combined together:

-3x, 11x

14, -11

If we rewrite this expression with the like terms together, it would look like this:

-3x+11x + 14-11

To make the addition of -3x and 11x easier, we could switch their places in the expression to make it look like this:

11x-3x + 14-11

(Note: Even though we are switching the terms' places, the -3x still keeps its negative sign when you move it around.

11x-3x is 8x and 14-11 is 3.

Therefore, the expression -3x + 14 - 11 + 11x can be simplified by combining like terms into 8x + 3.
