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%.

Damm [24]
There are many theories and measurement for the speed of light. It is believed that light travels at 299,792 km per second.  In the earlier day philosopher Aristotle believed that light didn't travel but happens instantaneously.  Therefore, for Galileo and his assistant to be only 1km apart, I would have to agree with Aristotle theory of light traveling instantaneously.

How do I factor this? <br> 5x^2y+45x^3y^2
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

5 x^2 y (9 x y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

45 x^3 y^2 + 5 x^2 y

Factor common terms out of 45 x^3 y^2 + 5 x^2 y.

Factor 5 x^2 y out of 45 x^3 y^2 + 5 x^2 y:

Answer: 5 x^2 y (9 x y + 1)

inn [45]

Answer:

\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\frac{2x+5}{x^{2} -3x} -\frac{3x+5}{x^{3} -9x} -\frac{x+1}{x^{2}-9}

First, we need to factor each denominator

\frac{2x+5}{x(x-3)} -\frac{3x+5}{x(x+3)(x-3)} -\frac{x+1}{(x-3)(x+3)}

So, the least common factor (LCF) is x(x-3)(x+3), because they are the factors that repeats.

Now, we diviide the LCF by each denominator, to then multiply it by each numerator.

\frac{(x+3)(2x+5)-3x-5-x(x+1)}{x(x-3)(x+3)} =\frac{2x^{2}+5x+6x+15-3x-5-x^{2}-x }{x(x-3)(x+3)}\\\frac{x^{2}+7x+10}{x(x-3)(x+3)}

Then, we factor the numerator, to do so, we need to find two numbers which product is 10 and which sum is 7.

\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}

Therefore, the expression is equivalent to

\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}
