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%.

Graph the function f(x)=-4/3x+4
babymother [125]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: An exponential function is in the form of  where a is the initial value and b≠ 0 , b >1 .

Given: The function f(x) = y =            ......[1]

The domain is all real numbers and the range is y > 0.

y-intercept defined as the graph crosses the y-axis.

Substitute the value of x= 0 in [1] to solve for y;

y =   = 4

y-intercept = (0, 4)

End behavior:

when b =3 >1

then;

as  ,  

as   ,  

therefore, the only graph which represents the function y =    is Option D

Which number expresses 6.72 as a fraction in simplest form?
Gwar [14]

Answer: 168/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to a mixed number by placing the numbers to the right of the decimal over 100

. Reduce the fraction. Then, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator to get the new numerator. Place this new numerator over the original denominator.

Find the equation of the circle that satisfies the given conditions <br> Center (6,-6) radius 4
liraira [26]
For a circle with (h,k) as center and radius, r the equation is
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
center is (6,-6)
radius is 4

(x-6)^2+(y-(-6))^2=4^2
(x-6)^2+(y+6)^2=16
