The CDC national estimates that 1 in 68 = 0.0147 children are diagnosed with have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (

ASD). A researcher believes that the proportion children in their county is different from the CDC estimate. The hypotheses are sub(H,0):p=0.0147 sub(H,1):p≠0.0147. What is a type II error in the context of this problem?

Answer:

Null hypothesis: p= 0.0147

Alternative hypothesis: p\neq 0.0147

A type of error II for this case would be FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the population proportion is equal to 0.0147 when actually the alternative hypothesis is true (the true proportion is different from 0.0147).

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Type I error, also known as a “false positive” is the error of rejecting a null  hypothesis when it is actually true. Can be interpreted as the error of no reject an  alternative hypothesis when the results can be  attributed not to the reality.  

Type II error, also known as a "false negative" is the error of not rejecting a null  hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is the true. Can be interpreted as the error of failing to accept an alternative hypothesis when we don't have enough statistical power.  

Solution to the problem

On this case we want to test if the proportion of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is different from 0.0147, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: p= 0.0147

Alternative hypothesis: p\neq 0.0147

A type of error II for this case would be FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the population proportion is equal to 0.0147 when actually the alternative hypothesis is true (the true proportion is different from 0.0147).

Answer:The proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in the researcher’s county is believed to be the same as the national estimate, even though the proportion is the different.

the depth D, in inches, od wsnow in my yard t hours after it started snowing this morning is given by D=1.5t + 4. if the depth o
Blababa [14]

Answer:

8.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the time t when the depth of the snow is 7 inches.

To do this, we just need to use the value of D = 7 then find the value of t:

7 = 1.5t + 4

1.5t = 3

t = 2\ hours

We want to find the depth of snow one hour from now, so we just need to use the value of t = 3 to calculate D:

D = 1.5*3 + 4

D = 4.5 + 4 = 8.5\ inches

The depth of snow one hour from now will be 8.5 inches.

If a student was randomly guessing while completing a 20 question multiple choice exam, what is the probability they would score
mario62 [17]

Answer:

you want 4 correct and 16 incorrect

there are 20 questions

each question has four answers, so

P(right answer) = 1/4

P(wrong answer) = 3/4

----

Since you want 4 correct of 20 we have a combination of 20C4

This is a binomial problem where p = 1/4, q = 3/4 and we get

(20 "choose" 4)*(probability correct)^(number correct)*(probability incorrect)^(number incorrect)

putting numbers in we get

(20c4)*(1/4)^4*(3/4)^16

This gives us

~ .189685

Which equation has a graph that is a parabola with a vertex at (–2, 0)?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The vertex of a quadratic equation corresponds to the point where the maximum or minimum value is located.

If the function has a positive leading coefficient, the vertex corresponds to the minimum value.

If it has a negative leading coefficient,  the vertex corresponds to the maximum valuevalue

If the vertex is located at

(–2, 0)

The possibilities are

y =  (x-2)^2

or,

y = - (x-2)^2

Since the problem tells us the answer, we adopt the positive values

Answer:

y =  (x-2)^2

What is the value of x?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

x = 4√5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Trigonometry</u>

  • Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use Pythagorean Theorem.

a = 19

b = x

c = 21

<u>Step 2: Find </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    19² + x² = 21²
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:               x² = 21² - 19²
  3. Evaluate:                       x² = 441 - 361
  4. Subtract:                       x² = 80
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                       x = √80
  6. Simplify:                        x = 4√5

And we have our final answer!
