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.

Which equation has infinitely many solutions?
ipn [44]

Answer:

Equation C. 5.1 + 2y + 1.2 = -2 + 2y + 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation C is the only equation in the list in which the terms that contain the unknown "y" on each side of the equal sign are identical, therefore when solving for this unknown and trying to group them on one side, they go away, leaving us with a relationship among numerical values that is always true:

5.1 + 2y + 1.2 = -2 + 2y + 8.3

5.1 + 1.2 = -2 + 8.3

6.3 = 6.3

Then this equation is true for any value of the unknown y, and y- can adopt infinite number of values, independent of which the equation will always be a true statement (giving thus infinite number of solutions).
