Answer:

Option C is correct.

The test statistic for this question is -3.13

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute the z-test statistic, the formula is given as

z = (x - μ₀)/σₓ

x = p = sample proportion of the 500 college students sampled, that favor reducing the deficit using only spending cuts with no tax increase = (75/500) = 0.15

μ₀ = p₀ = the proportion to be compared against, that is, the proportion of Americans that favor reducing the U.S. budget deficit by using spending cuts only, with no tax increases = 20% = 0.20

σₓ = standard error of the sample proportion = √[p(1-p)/n]

p = 0.15

n = Sample size = 500

σₓ = √[0.15×0.85/500] = 0.01597

z = (0.15 - 0.20) ÷ 0.01597

z = -3.13

Hope this Helps!!!

Nadia is a stockbroker. She earns 4% commission when she sells stocks. Last week, she earned $288 in commission.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

a)The total amount of her  weekly stock sales  = $7,200

b) The total amount of her yearly stock sales  = $350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)  Let us assume that the total a mount of her sales in a week  = $m

      Commission earned in a week = $288

      Now, 4 % of her total sales  = $288

      or, 4% of ($m)  = $288

    ⇒\frac{4}{100}  \times  m = 288

     or, m = \frac{288 \times 100}{4}   = 7,200

     ⇒ m = $7,200

Hence, the total amount of her  weekly stock sales  = $7,200

b)  Let us assume that the total amount of her sales in a year  = $k

     The total amount of commission earned  = $14,000

Now, 4 % of her total sales  = $14,000

      or, 4% of ($k)  = $14,000

    ⇒\frac{4}{100}  \times  k = 14,000

     or, k = \frac{14,000 \times 100}{4}   = 350,000

     ⇒ k = $350,000

Hence, the total amount of her yearly stock sales  = $350,000

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, μ. Assume the population has a normal distribution. A random sample
GuDViN [60]

Answer: (628.48,\ 661.52)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=16 , which is a small sample (, 30) so we use t-test.

Sample mean : \overline{x}=645 \text{ hours}

Standard deviation : \sigma = 31 \text{ hours}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=2.131

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1,\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=645\pm(2.131)\dfrac{31}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\approx645\pm16.52\\\\=(645-16.52,\ 645+16.52)\\\\=(628.48,\ 661.52)

Hence, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean \mu = (628.48,\ 661.52)
