In 2001, one county reported that, among 3132 white women who had babies, 94 were multiple births. There were also 20 multiple b

irths to 606 black women. Does this indicate any racial difference in the likelihood of multiple births? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion in context.

Hypothesis:

The ratio of ladies giving multiple birth to total number of women for any race will be the same.

Test:

Ratio of white women giving multiple births = 94 / 3132 = 0.0300

Ratio of black women giving multiple births = 20 / 606 = 0.0330

Conclusion:

There is no racial difference in the likelihood of multiple births. Although we do see a difference in the ratios calculated above, the difference is small enough to be due to sample size difference of white and black women. The smaller number of total black women makes the ratio calculated from this sample have a higher probability to deviate from what is expected. This deviation will account for the difference in probability between both races.

We can see the effects of this small sample size by increasing or decreases the numerator by 1 for black women:

21 / 606 = 0.0347

19 / 606 = 0.0313

This change in the data of one woman produces a very large percentage change in our ratio for black women (5%). Thus despite inaccuracy due to small sample size, our hypothesis is correct.

the product of 2 consecutive odd integers is equal to 27 plus six times the sum of the integers. what is the larger integer
olganol [36]
2 consecutive odd integers : x and x + 2

x(x + 2) = 27 + 6(x + x + 2)
x^2 + 2x = 27 + 6(2x + 2)
x^2 + 2x = 27 + 12x + 12
x^2 + 2x - 12x - 12 - 27 = 0
x^2 -10x - 39 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 13) = 0

x + 3 = 0
x = -3 (extraneous solution)

x - 13 = 0
x = 13

x + 2 = 15 

so ur 2 integers are 13 and 15, with 15 being the largest

Carter is selling his bike. His research shows that the bike has a current value of $90, which is 45% of the amount Carter paid
GaryK [48]

Carter paid $200 for the bike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current value of bike = $90

This represent 45% of the original amount Carter paid for bike.

Let,

x represent the original amount of bike.

45% of x = 90

\frac{45}{100}x=90\\\\0.45x=90

Dividing both sides by 0.45

\frac{0.45x}{0.45}=\frac{90}{0.45}\\x=200

Carter paid $200 for the bike.

Which relationship is always true for the angles x,y and z of triangle ABC
bixtya [17]

Answer:

B. y + z = x

Step-by-step explanation:

x is an exterior angle of the triangle.

y and z are the opposite angles opposite the exterior angle.

The exterior angle theorem of a triangle states that the measure of an exterior angle equals the measure of the sum of the two angles opposite the exterior angle.

Thus:

y + z = x
