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

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%.

harina [27]

Answer:

Haircuts cost $50.33

Hair Color costs $80.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let haircut be cost "a"

coloring be cost "b"

2 haircut, 4 coloring equals 422, we can write:

2a + 4b = 422 {Equation 1}

5 haircut, 4 coloring, equals 573, we can write:

5a + 4b = 573 {Equation 2}

We now multiply equation 1 with -1 and add it with Equation 2 to get:

-1(2a + 4b = 422) = -2a - 4b = -422

Now,

-2a - 4b = -422

5a + 4b = 573

----------------------

3a = 151

a = 151/3 = $50.33

Now, to find b, we plug in this value into any equation and solve for b:

2a + 4b = 422

2(50.33) + 4b = 422

4b = 422 - 100.66

b = $80.33

Haircuts cost $50.33

Hair Color costs $80.33
