Solution:
As per the problem
A person is born every 5 seconds and a person dies every 12 seconds.
Here the LCD of 5 and 12 is 60.
The number of person born in 60 seconds
The Number of person died in 12 seconds
Hence Population increase in 60 seconds is
Hence time required to increase the population by one
Answer:
We conclude that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes at 0.01 level of significance.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a professor wishes to discover if seniors skip more classes than freshmen. Suppose he knows that freshmen skip 2% of their classes.
He randomly samples a group of seniors and out of 2521 classes, the group skipped 77.
<u><em /></u>
<u><em>Let p = percentage of seniors who skip their classes.</em></u>
So, Null Hypothesis, : p
2% {means that seniors skip less than or equal to 2% of their classes}
Alternate Hypothesis, : p > 2% {means that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes}
The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;
T.S. = ~ N(0,1)
where, = sample proportion of seniors who skipped their classes =
n = sample of classes = 2521
So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u> =
= 3.08
The value of the test statistics is 3.08.
Now at 0.01 significance level, <u>the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test</u>. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 2.3263 < 3.08, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.
Therefore, we conclude that seniors skip more than 2% of their classes.
