The US Department of Energy reported that 48% of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 333 homes in Oregon found

that 149 were heated by natural gas. Test the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different from what was reported. Use a 1% significance level.
a) What are the correct hypotheses?

A. H0 : μ=0.48 H1 : μ≠0.48

B. H0 : p=0.45 H1 : p≠0.45

C. H0 : p≠0.48 H1 : p=0.48

D. H0 : p=0.48 H1 : p≠0.48

E. H0 : p=0.48 H1 : p>0.48

b) The p-value is 0.2344. Choose the correct decision and summary.

A. Reject H0, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

B. Do not reject H0, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

C. Reject H0, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

D. Do not reject H0, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

Answer:

Option B) Do not reject null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 333

p = 48% = 0.48

Alpha, α = 0.01

Number of women belonging to union , x = 149

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.48\\H_A: p \neq 0.48

This is a two-tailed test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{149}{333} = 0.45

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

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.45-0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{333}}} = -1.096

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.

P-value = 0.273079

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different from what was reported.

B. Do not reject null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

Ella has 0.5 lb of sugar. how much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will
makkiz [27]

Answer:

For 50% syrup, add 0.5 lb of water for 1 lb of syrup; for 5% syrup, add 9.5 lb of water for 10 lb of syrup; for 75% syrup, add 0.17 lb of water for 0.67 lb of syrup; for 1.5% syrup, add 32.8 lb of water for 33.3 lb of syrup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of water added.  This means the total mass of the syrup is represented by 0.5+x.

To find percentages, we divide the part by the whole.  For a 50% syrup, we need the part (sugar) compared to the whole (sugar + water) to equal 50%, or 0.50:

Multiply both sides by 0.5+x:

Using the distributive property, we have

0.5 = 0.5(0.5)+0.5(x)

0.5 = 0.25+0.5x

Subtract 0.25 from each side:

0.5-0.25 = 0.25+0.5x-0.25

0.25 = 0.5x

Divide both sides by 0.5:

0.25/0.5 = 0.5x/0.5

x = 0.5

For 50% syrup, add 0.5 lb of water.  This makes the total mass 0.5+0.5 = 1 lb.

For 5% syrup, we change the equation to equal 0.05 (5% = 5/100 = 0.05) and leave everything else the same:

Multiply both sides by 0.5+x:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.05(0.5)+0.05(x)

0.5 = 0.025 + 0.05x

Subtract 0.025 from both sides:

0.5-0.025 = 0.025+0.05x-0.025

0.475 = 0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05:

0.475/0.05 = 0.05x/0.05

x = 9.5

For 5% syrup, add 9.5 lb of water; the total mass will be 9.5+0.5 = 10 lb.

For 75% syrup, set the equation equal to 0.75:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.75(0.5)+0.75(x)

0.5 = 0.375 + 0.75x

Subtract 0.375 from each side:

0.5 - 0.375 = 0.375 + 0.75x - 0.375

0.125 = 0.75x

Divide both sides by 0.75:

0.125/0.75 = 0.75x/0.75

0.17 = x

For 75% syrup, add 0.17 lb of water; the total mass is 0.17+0.5 = 0.67 lb.

For 1.5% syrup, set the equation equal to 0.015:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.015(0.5) + 0.015(x)

0.5 = 0.0075 + 0.015x

Subtract 0.0075 from each side:

0.5-0.0075 = 0.0075 + 0.015x - 0.0075

0.4925 = 0.015x

Divide both sides by 0.015:

0.4925/0.015 = 0.015x/0.015

32.8 = x

For 1.5% syrup, use 32.8 lb of water; the total mass is 32.8+0.5 = 33.3 lb.

I hope this is right and have a good day

Which of the following is not a disadvantage of using cash instead of credit?
sergeinik [125]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

D) Using cash can make it easier to over-spend since you know exactly how much you have.

Explanation:

Knowing exactly how much you have on hand will actually help you avoid over-spending.

When using cash, you are aware of exactly how much money you have. With a credit card, this may not be the case; this makes it easier with a credit card to spend more money than you should for your budget. With cash it's easier to avoid this problem.
