g A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is cha

nging over time. A recent sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Suppose that just a year before, a sample of 700 adults showed 245 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. (a) State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. (Let p1 = population proportion most recently saying financial security more than fair and p2 = population proportion from the year before saying financial security more than fair. Enter != for ≠ as needed.)

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

z=\frac{0.410-0.35}{\sqrt{0.385(1-0.385)(\frac{1}{1000}+\frac{1}{700})}}=2.502    

p_v =2*P(Z>2.502)= 0.0123    

Comparing the p value with the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the proportion analyzed is significantly different between the two groups at 5% of significance.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

X_{1}=410 represent the number of people indicating that their financial security was more than fair for the recent year

X_{2}=245 represent the number of people indicating that their financial security was more than fair for the year before

n_{1}=1000 sample 1 selected  

n_{2}=700 sample 2 selected  

p_{1}=\frac{410}{1000}=0.410 represent the proportion estimated of indicating that their financial security was more than fair this year

p_{2}=\frac{245}{700}=0.35 represent the proportion estimated of indicating that their financial security was more than fair the year before

\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 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)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{410+245}{1000+700}=0.385  

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.    

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:    

z=\frac{0.410-0.35}{\sqrt{0.385(1-0.385)(\frac{1}{1000}+\frac{1}{700})}}=2.502    

Statistical decision  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(Z>2.502)= 0.0123    

Comparing the p value with the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the proportion analyzed is significantly different between the two groups at 5% of significance.

Slove for x: x+1/3=1/4
lana [24]
Hey!


To solve this problem, we must subtract one over three from both sides of the equation. This will give us x on its own.

<em>Original Equation :</em>
x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4}

<em>New Equation {Added Subtract \frac{1}{3} to Both Sides} :</em>
x + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>
x=- \frac{1}{12}

<em>So, this means that in the equation provided</em>,  x=- \frac{1}{12}.

Hope this helps!

Which expression is equivalent to (5x^5)(4x)^3​
Oliga [24]

Answer:

5x. 5x. 5x. 5x. 5x. 4x. 4x. 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Just seperate all of the numbers out. Because 5x is raised to the fifth it is being multiplied by itself 5 times, the same goes for 4.
