5(a – 7) + 11 = 2a – 3(a + 4)

5a - 35 + 11 = 2a - 3a - 12

5a - 24 = -a - 12

add a to both sides

5a - 24 + a = -a -12 + a

simplify

6a - 24 = -12

add 24 to both sides

6a - 24 + 24 = -12 + 24

simplify

6a = 12

divide both sides by 6

6a/6 = 12/6

simplify

a = 2

Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the a

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

2) $\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

3) $z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

4) $z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

5) $z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

6) We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

7) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X represent the people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$p_o=0.41$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest) Part 1We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the area: Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

Part 2

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

Part 3

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.01 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

Part 4

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

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

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

$z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

Part 5

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.1 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

Part 6

We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Part 7

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

If a city that currently has a population of 1000 triples in size every 8 years, what will the population be in 24 years? Is the

Brilliant_brown [7]

For this case we have a function of the form:
y = A * (b) ^ t
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
t: time
Substituting values we have:
y = 1000 * (3) ^ ((1/8) * t)
For 24 years we have:
y = 1000 * (3) ^ ((1/8) * 24)
y = 27000
Answer:
D) 27,000; exponential
