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.

PROBLEM SOLVING A game of bowling has ten frames. After five frames, your friend’s bowling score is 65 and your bowling score $x
Elodia [21]

Considering the situation described, we have that:

a. x = 65 - 8 = 57.

b. You won the game, as you scored 137 and your friend 130.

<h3>What is the equation for the situation after five frames?</h3>

Your friend's score is of 65, and your score of x is 8 less than your friend, hence the equation is:

x = 65 - 8 = 57.

<h3>What are the final scores?</h3>

Your friend score doubled, hence his/her final score is:

2 x 65 = 130.

Your score increased by 80, hence your final score is:

57 + 80 = 137.

You won the game, as you scored 137 and your friend 130.
