National data indicates that​ 35% of households own a desktop computer. In a random sample of 570​ households, 40% owned a deskt

op computer. Does this provide enough evidence to show a difference in the proportion of households that own a​ desktop? Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

Yes, this provide enough evidence to show a difference in the proportion of households that own a​ desktop.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that National data indicates that​ 35% of households own a desktop computer.

In a random sample of 570​ households, 40% owned a desktop computer.

<em><u>Let p = population proportion of households who own a desktop computer</u></em>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 25%   {means that 35% of households own a desktop computer}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 25%   {means that % of households who own a desktop computer is different from 35%}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                                  T.S.  = \frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of 570​ households who owned a desktop computer = 40%

            n = sample of households = 570

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.40-0.35}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.40(1-0.40)}{570} } } } }

                               =  2.437

<em>Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance at which to test out hypothesis so we assume it to be 5%. Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics doesn't lies within the range of critical values of z so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that % of households who own a desktop computer is different from 35%.

<u>Answer</u>

-5/3, -1,  0.7,  √2,   √5


<u>Explanation</u>

√5 = 2.236

-1 ⇒ this is less than 1.  

-5/3 = -1.666667    this is less than 1.  -5/3 < -1

0.7 > -1

√2 = 1.414        ⇒     √5 > √2

Arranging them from the least to the greatest;

-5/3, -1,  0.7,  √2,   √5

scoray [572]
Asymptotes are lines that continues to approach a given curve but never actually meets it! For the second figure it is the Y axis since the curves slowly appear to approach the Y axis! Not sure about the first figure(probably the X axis)!

Grace needs $45 to go to Six Flags. She has $13. She earns $8 an hour walking dogs. Which
agasfer [191]

Answer: C. 13 + 8x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

She already has 13 dollars. This would be the b-value in the equation, thus eliminating options A and B because those two feature 13 as the m value.

She earns $8 per hour. Let x = number of hours walking dogs.

Since 8 is the slope, it would be attached to x, thus either C or D would be the correct response

Since Grace is adding 8 dollars per hour, not subtracting, D is incorrect, leaving C to be the correct answer.
