According to a Gallup survey conducted in July 2011, 20% of Americans favor reducing the U.S. budget deficit by using spending c

uts only, with no tax increases. An economics professor believes that fewer college students would favor deficit reduction through spending cuts only. The professor surveys 500 college students and finds that 75 of them favor reducing the deficit using only spending cuts. What is the test statistic?
A. Z=-2.80
B. Z=2.80
C. Z=-3.13
D. Z=3.13

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!!!

You help your dad build a dog house for your dog. You tell him that it would be easy to build a dog house in the shape of a tent
Effectus [21]
3 feet tall
If it is in the shape of a tent and the floor is 8 feet across half of it cut down the middle would be 4 ft, you create a right triangle and can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height. 5 is the hypotenuse and 4 is a leg.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in  the values known
4^2 +b^2 = 5^2
simplify
16+b^2=25
subtract 16 from both sides
b^2=9
take the square root of both sides
b=3 the hight is 3 ft

Solve for p. 50,000= (25,000*p)/(100-p)
galben [10]
If
50000=25000*p/(100-p)
50000(100-p)=25,000p
5,000,000-50,000p=25,000p   add the 50,000
5,000,000=50,000p+25,000p
5,000,000=75,000p
p=5,000,000/75,000
p=66.66
