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.

50 POINTS. PLEASE HELP!!! NEED THIS DINE BY 4:00 PM!!!!
malfutka [58]

Hey fellow Army.

So because JKLM=PQRS, that means that all the line segments are equal.

JK=PQ=6.4

KL=QR=13

LM=RS=9

MJ=SP=18

Okay now for the graph.

It was first reflected over the y axis, and then shifted over vertically by 9 .

Hope this helps. Have a good day!

What is the next three terms to a sequence -1/3125, 1/625, -1/125, 1/25
Natali [406]

Answer:

-1/3125, 1/625, -1/125, 1/25 , -(1÷5) , 1 , -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1÷625÷(-1÷3 125) = -5

-1÷125÷(1÷625) = -5

(1÷25)÷(-1÷125) = -5

Then the common ratio of the geometric sequence is -5 then we keep multiplying by -5 each time to get the next term:

(1÷25)×(-5) = -(1÷5)

-(1÷5)×(-5) = 1

(1)×(-5) = -5

RoseWind [281]
Start by putting two coins on each side of the scale. If one side is higher, then the light coin must be in that pair (use a second weighing to determine which of that pair is the lightest.)
If the initial weighing shows the two pairs to be even, discard those four and go to the three others. Put two of the coins on the scale - one on each side. If one side stays higher, that coin is your light one. If however they are equal, the final unweighed coin must be the lighter coin.
