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

A dog and a cat are 200 meters apart when they see each other. The dog can run at a speed of 30 meter per second, while the cat
LenKa [72]

Answer:

They'll meet after 200 meters , if they simultaneously start running towards each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =distance travelled by dog and 200-x be the distance travelled by cat. Inorder to meet, the sum of their travelled distances shall be equal to 200 meters as they are far apart by 200 meters.

Dog: Distance =Speed x time: x=30t

Cat: Distance = 200-x

=24t

The sum of their distance travelled shall be 200 meters: 30t+ 24t= 200;54t=200;t=200/54=3.7secs

So they will meet after 3.7 seconds

To check:

Distance travelled by dog :x=30(3.7)

=111.11 meters

Distance travelled by cat: 24t=24(3.7)

=88.89 meters

Therefore since they are travelling towards each other and their distance apart is 200 meters, after 3.7 seconds they will meet because dog travelled 111.11 meters and cat travelled 88.89 meters and they covered already 200 meters as the sum of 111.11+ 88.89

=200 meters

Determine the horizontal, vertical, and slant asymptotes: y=x2+2x-3/x-7
densk [106]

Answer:

  • vertical asymptote: x = 7
  • slant asymptote: y = x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptotes are found where a denominator factor is zero (and there is no corresponding numerator factor to cancel it). Here, that is at x = 7.

There is no horizontal asymptote because the numerator is of higher degree than the denominator.

When you divide the numerator by the denominator, you get ...

  y = (x +9) +60/(x -7)

Then when x gets large, the behavior is governed by the terms not having a denominator: y = x +9. This is the equation of the slant asymptote.
