Answer:

a) For this case the value of the significanceis \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, we need a value on the normal standard distribution thataccumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:

z_{\alpha/2} =1.96

If the calculated statistic |z_{calc}| >1.96 we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance

b) Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{170+110}{200+150}=0.8  

c)z=\frac{0.85-0.733}{\sqrt{0.8(1-0.8)(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{150})}}=2.708    

d) Since the calculated value satisfy this condition 2.708>1.96 we have enough evidence at 5% of significance that we have a significant difference between the two proportions analyzed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

X_{1}=170 represent the number of people with the characteristic 1

X_{2}=110 represent the number of people with the characteristic 2  

n_{1}=200 sample 1 selected  

n_{2}=150 sample 2 selected  

p_{1}=\frac{170}{200}=0.85 represent the proportion estimated for the sample 1  

p_{2}=\frac{110}{150}=0.733 represent the proportion estimated for the sample 2  

\hat p represent the pooled estimate of p

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

\alpha=0.05 significance level given  

Concepts and formulas to use    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if is there is a difference between the two proportions, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

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

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and 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)  

a.State the decision rule.

For this case the value of the significanceis \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, we need a value on the normal standard distribution thataccumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:

z_{\alpha/2} =1.96

If the calculated statistic |z_{calc}| >1.96 we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance

b. Compute the pooled proportion.

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{170+110}{200+150}=0.8  

c. Compute the value of the test statistic.                                                                                              

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.    

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:    

z=\frac{0.85-0.733}{\sqrt{0.8(1-0.8)(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{150})}}=2.708    

d. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?

Since the calculated value satisfy this condition 2.708>1.96 we have enough evidence at 5% of significance that we have a significant difference between the two proportions analyzed.

the sum of two numbers is 63. one ninth of the first number plus one sixth of the second number is 21. find the numbers
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: x= -189, y =252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and second number be y

so

x + y = 63

x = 63-y

now

1/9 of x + 1/6 of y = 21

x/9 + y/6 = 21

substituting x's value from equation i

(63-y)/9 + y/6 = 21

(378-6y+9y)/54 = 21

378+3y = 1134

3y = 1134-378

so, 3y = 756

so, y = 756/3

so, y = 252

now

x = 63-252

so, x = -189

TotCo is developing a new deluxe baby bassinet. If the length of a newborn baby is normally distributed with a mean of 50 cm and
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

<em>The interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit   = 1.7 cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>-

<em><u>step(i):</u></em>-

Given mean of population = 50 cm  

<em>standard deviation of Population = 5 cm</em>

<em>Given Margin of error = 10 cm</em>

<em>The Margin of error is determined by </em>

<em></em>M.E = \frac{Z_{\alpha } S.D}{\sqrt{n} }<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>Given level of significance ∝ = 99 % or 1 %</em>

Z₀.₀₁ = 2.576

10 = \frac{2.576 X 5}{\sqrt{n} }

\sqrt{n}  = \frac{2.576 X 5}{10}

√n = 1.3

squaring on both sides , we get

<em>n = 1.69≅ 1.7 cm</em>

<u><em> Final answer:</em></u>-

<em>The interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit   = 1.7 cm</em>

I need ASAP!! <br> Find CU. If necessary, round answers to 4 decimal places
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The correct answer for this equational ratio is x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate for x, we must create the necessary ratios

\frac{16}{20} = \frac{45-5x}{5x}

Cross multiply to get

900 - 100x = 80x

900 = 180x

x = 5
