A study reports that 75 percent of young adults in a county get their news from online sources. A sociologist believes that the

percentage is actually greater than 75 percent. The sociologist will select a random sample of young adults from around the county to interview. Which of the following is the most appropriate method for investigating the sociologist’s belief?
A. A one-sample zz-test for a difference in population proportions
B. A one-sample zz-test for a sample proportion
C. A one-sample zz-test for a population proportion
D. A two-sample zz-test for a difference in population proportions
E. A two-sample zz-test for a difference in sample proportions

The following is the most appropriate method for investigating the sociologist’s belief is,

A. A one-sample zz-test for a difference in population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The young adults in a county get their news from online sources are 75 percent.
  • But according to sociologist the percentage is actually greater than 75 percent.
  • The correct answer is A one-sample zz-test for a difference in population proportions.
  • The One proportion Z-test is used to compare proportion which is observed to a theoretical one, only when there are only two categories.
  • A z-test is a statistical test which is used to determine whether there are two population which means there are different when the variances are known and the sample size is relatively large.

Answer:

C. A one-sample z-test for population proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need one sample to compare to the null hypothesis and to determine z.

It will be for population propotion because were are trying find evidence for the population not just the sample.

Elden [556K]
F(x) = 3x + 1

let f(x) = y

y = 3x + 1

y - 1 = 3x

3x = y - 1

x = (y - 1)/3

From y = f(x),  x = f⁻¹(y) 

<span>x = (y - 1)/3
</span>
 f⁻¹(y)  = (y - 1)/3

f⁻¹(7)  = <span>(7 - 1)/3 = 6/3 = 2

Distance between two ships At noon, ship A was 12 nautical miles due north of ship B. Ship A was sailing south at 12 knots (naut
frozen [14]

Answer:

a)\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2} b.) -12knots, 8 knots c) No e)4\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial distance between ships A and B was 12 nautical miles. Ship A moves at 12 knots(nautical miles per hour) south. Ship B moves at 8 knots east.

a)

We know that at time t , the ship A has moved 12\dot t (n.m) and ship B has moved 8\dot t (n.m). We also know that the ship A moves closer to the line of the movement of B and that ship B moves further on its line.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can write the distance s as:

\sqrt{(12-12\dot t)^2 + (8\dot t)^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+144t^2+64t^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}

b)

We want to find \frac{ds}{dt} for t=0 and t=1

\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}|\frac{d}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\dot (-288+416t)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(0)=\frac{208\dot 0-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 0 + 209\dot 0^2}}=-12knots\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(1)=\frac{208\dot 1-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 1 + 209\dot 1^2}}=8knots

c)

We know that the visibility was 5n.m. We want to see whether the distance s was under 5 miles at any point.

Ships have seen each other = s\leq 5\\\\\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}\leq 5\\\\144-288t+208t^2\leq 25\\\\199-288t+208t^2\leq 0

Since function f(x)=199-288x+208x^2 is quadratic, concave up and has no real roots, we know that 199-288x+208x^2>0 for every t. So, the ships haven't seen each other.

d)

Attachedis the graph of s(red) and ds/dt(blue). We can see that our results from parts b and c were correct.

e)

Function ds/dt has a horizontal asympote in the first quadrant if

                                                \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}

So, lets check this limit:

\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208-\frac{144}{t}}{\sqrt{\frac{144}{t^2}-\frac{288}{t}+208}}\\\\=\frac{208-0}{\sqrt{0-0+208}}\\\\=\frac{208}{\sqrt{208}}\\\\=4\sqrt{13}

Notice that:

4\sqrt{13}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=√(speed of ship A² + speed of ship B²)

Madeline invests $25,000 in an account that offers a compound interest rate of 9.5% per year. Which of the following is the corr
LekaFEV [45]
Use this equation:   Amount after years=Initial investment*(1+Interest rate/time compounded yearly)^number of years*times compounded yearly

So A=25,000(1+.095/1)^8*1
Simplify
A=25000(1.095)^8
Simplify
A=25000(2.07)
Solve
A=$51,671.73

This equation can be used for all problems of this type.

What is the perimeter of triangle with side lengths of 29, 15, and 4xy?
hoa [83]

The perimeter of any polygon is equal to the sum of the length of all sides of this polygon.

Therefore:

<h3>P = 29 + 15 + 4xy = 44 + 4xy</h3>
