In the past decades there have been intensive antismoking campaigns sponsored by both federal and private agencies. In one study

of national smoking trends, two random samples of U.S. adults were selected in different years: The first sample, taken in 1995, involved 4276 adults, of which 1642 were smokers. The second sample, taken in 2010, involved 3908 adults, of which 1415 were smokers. The samples are to be compared to determine whether the proportion of U.S. adults that smoke declined during the 15-year period between the samples.
Let p1 be the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 1995. Let p2 denote the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 2010.
Reference: Ref 21-4
The P-value of the test for equality of the proportion of smokers in 1995 and 2010 is:_________.
A. greater than 0.10.
B. between 0.05 and 0.10.
C. between 0.01 and 0.05.
D. below 0.01.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.384-0.362}{\sqrt{0.374(1-0.374)(\frac{1}{4276}+\frac{1}{3908})}}=2.055    

The p value can be calculated from the alternative hypothesis with this probability:

p_v =2*P(Z>2.055)=0.0399    

And the best option for this case would be:

C. between 0.01 and 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

X_{1}=1642 represent the number of smokers from the sample in 1995

X_{2}=1415 represent the number of smokers from the sample in 2010

n_{1}=4276 sample from 1995

n_{2}=3908 sample from 2010  

p_{1}=\frac{1642}{4276}=0.384 represent the proportion of smokers from the sample in 1995

p_{2}=\frac{1415}{3908}=0.362 represent the proportion of smokers from the sample in 2010

\hat p represent the pooled estimate of p

z would represent the statistic    

p_v represent the value for the pvalue

System of hypothesis

We want to test the equality of the proportion of smokers and the system of hypothesis are:    

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}    

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{1642+1415}{4276+3908}=0.374  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.384-0.362}{\sqrt{0.374(1-0.374)(\frac{1}{4276}+\frac{1}{3908})}}=2.055    

The p value can be calculated from the alternative hypothesis with this probability:

p_v =2*P(Z>2.055)=0.0399    

And the best option for this case would be:

C. between 0.01 and 0.05.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

3 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

We would divide the amount of riders the roller coaster could take in a single trip by the total number of riders to determine how many trips it can make.

max amount of riders/total riders

72/24 = 3

Hence, the rollercoaster made 3 trips.

Selena's gross annual salary as the Content editor of a fashion Magazine is Rs 40000 she contribute 10% of her salary. before sh
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Selena's annual intake home salary is $ 26,640.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Selena's gross annual salary as the content editor of a fashion Magazine is $ 40,000, and she contributes 10% of her salary before she pays taxes to a retirement account, and 25% of her remaining salary is then consumed in state and federal taxes, To determine what is Selena's annual intake home salary if she also has to pay $ 30 for health Insurance each month, the following calculation must be performed:

40,000 - (40,000 x 0.1) - (40,000 x 0.9 x 0.25) - (30 x 12) = X

40,000 - 4,000 - 9,000 - 360 = X

26.640 = X

Therefore, Selena's annual intake home salary is $ 26,640.

Please help logarithms!

Given:

\log_34\approx 1.262

\log_37\approx 1.771

To find:

The value of \log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right).

Solution:

We have,

\log_34\approx 1.262

\log_37\approx 1.771

Using properties of log, we get

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-\log_349      \left[\because \log_a\dfrac{m}{n}=\log_am-\log_an\right]

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-\log_37^2      

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-2\log_37          [\log x^n=n\log x]

Substitute \log_34\approx 1.262 and \log_37\approx 1.771.

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=1.262-2(1.771)

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=1.262-3.542

\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=-2.28

Therefore, the value of \log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right) is -2.28.
