A simple random sample of 60 households in city 1 is taken. In the sample, there are 45 households that decorate their houses wi

th lights for the holidays. A simple random sample of 50 households is also taken from the neighboring city 2. In the sample, there are 40 households that decorate their houses.

Answer:

The calculated value of z = - 0.197  falls in the critical region therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that  at  the 5% significance level there is significant difference in population proportions of households that decorate their houses with lights for the holidays

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as

H0: p1= p2 there is no difference in population proportions of households that decorate their houses with lights for the holidays

against Ha : p1≠ p2  (claim)  ( two sided)

The significance level is set at ∝= 0.05

The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.05 is ± 1.96

or Z∝= 0.05/2= ± 1.96

The test statistic is

Z = p1-p2/√pq(1/n1 +1/n2)

p1= proportions of households  decorating in city 1  = 45/60=0.75

p2= proportions of households  decorating in city 2 = 40/50= 0.8

p = the common proportion on the assumption that the two proportion are same.

p =   \frac{n_1p_1 +n_2p_2}{n_1+n_2}

Calculating

p =60 (0.75) + 50 (0.8) / 110

p=  45+ 40/110= 85/110 = 0.772

so  q = 1-p= 1- 0.772= 0.227

Putting the values in the test statistic and calculating

z= 0.75- 0.8/ √0.772*0.227( 1/60 + 1/50)

z= -0.05/√ 0.175244 ( 110/300)

z= -0.05/0.25348

z= -0.197

The calculated value of z = - 0.197  falls in the critical region therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that  at  the 5% significance level there is significant difference in population proportions of households that decorate their houses with lights for the holidays

An example of a direct variation scenario is the increase in the income of a start-up bakeshop when the number of cakes sold increase. Example data are (4, $ 100), (5, $ 125), (6, $ 150), and (7, $ 175). 

The example of indirect variation scenario is the decrease in time it takes to reach a destination when the speed of the mobile increases. This is shown in the data points: (10 kph, 10 mins), (12 kph, 8 mins), (14 kph, 6 mins), and (16 kph, 4 mins).

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

y - 3 = (2/5)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the general point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h).  Now substitute -2 for h and 3 for k, and also 2/5 for m:

y - 3 = (2/5)(x + 2)
