A report on the U.S. economy indicates that​ 28% of Americans have experienced difficulty in making mortgage payments. A news or

ganization randomly sampled 400 Americans from 10 cities judged to be especially economically depressed and found that 136 reported such difficulty. Does this indicate that the problem is more severe among these​ cities? What are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for testing such a​ claim?

Answer:

For this case we want to test that the true proportion of americans have experienced difficulty in making mortgage payments is higher than 0.28 (alternative hypothesis) and the sytem of hypotheis are:

NUll hypothesis: p \leq 0.28

Alternative hypotheis: p >0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test that the true proportion of americans have experienced difficulty in making mortgage payments is higher than 0.28 (alternative hypothesis) and the sytem of hypotheis are:

NUll hypothesis: p \leq 0.28

Alternative hypotheis: p >0.28

In triangle ABC we have angle C = 3 times angle A, a=27 and c=48 What is b? Note: a is the side length opposite A etc. please he
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines tells us ...

  sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

  a·sin(3A) = c·sin(A)

Using the identity sin(3x) = 3cos(x)·sin(x) -sin(x)^3 and sin(x)^2 +cos(x)^2 = 1, we can simplify this to ...

  sin(A)(4cos(A)^2 -1) = (c/a)sin(A)

  4cos(A)^2 = c/a +1 = (48+27)/27 = 75/27 = 25/9

  cos(A)^2 = 25/36

  cos(A) = 5/6

__

Now, the angle B will be the difference between 180° and the sum of the other two angles:

  B = 180° -A -3A = 180° -4A

Using appropriate trig identities, we can write ...

  sin(B) = 4cos(A)^3sin(A) -4sin(A)^3cos(A)

  = 4sin(A)cos(A)(cos(A)^2 -sin(A)^2)

  = 4sin(A)cos(A)(2cos(A)^2 -1)

Filling in our value for cos(A), this becomes ...

  sin(B) = 4sin(A)(5/6)(2(5/6)^2-1) = sin(A)(35/27)

__

The law of sines tells us ...

  b/sin(B) = a/sin(A)

  b = a·sin(B)/sin(A) = 27(35/27)sin(A)/sin(A) = 35

The length of side b is 35 units.

Please help me on this problem ​
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 2a

The total number of ways that he can deal with his room

is 3 * 2  * 3 = 18

Problem 2b

P(green, plaid, track) = 1/3*1/2*1/3 = 1/18

Problem 2C

The bedspread and the poster don't change. The word or in probability is a real stinker. In this case it means that there are 2 choices of paint color.

The only choice that won't work is if he chooses hospital white instead of green or blue. So he has a 2/3 chance of choosing one of the two colors he wants.

The probability then becomes P(bedspread,Poster, color) = 1/2 * 1/3 * 2/3 =

2/18
