Answer:

To find this out the easy way, add up all the numbers and an answer, then divide by 4.

59 + 64 + 68 + 63.67 = 254.67

254.67/4 = 63.66

A is not correct.

59 + 64 + 68 + 65.25 = 256.25

256.25/4 = 69.25

B is not quite correct.

59 + 64 + 68 + 75 = 266.

266/4 = 66.5

C is not correct.

59 + 64 + 68 + 89 = 280

280/4 = 70.

D.) is the correct answer.

I hope this helps!

The correct answer would be (D - 89 points)
59+64+68
=191 + 89
=280/4
=70(%)

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval would be given (0.561;0.719).

b) $p_v =P(z>2.8)=1-P(z$

c) Using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=64 represent were in favor of firing the coach

$\hat p=\frac{64}{100}=0.64$ estimated proportion for were in favor of firing the coach

$p_o=0.5$ is the value that we want to test since the problem says majority

$\alpha$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

p= population proportion of Americans for were in favor of firing the coach

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2=0.05$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.64 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100}}=0.561$

$0.64 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100}}=0.719$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.561;0.719).

Part b

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion exceeds 50%(Majority). :

Null Hypothesis: $p \leq 0.5$

Alternative Hypothesis: $p >0.5$

We assume that the proportion follows a normal distribution.

This is a one tail upper test for the proportion of union membership.

The One-Sample Proportion Test is "used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly (different,higher or less) from a hypothesized value $p_o$ ".

Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.

b) The sample needs to be large enough

$np_o =100*0.64=64>10$

$n(1-p_o)=100*(1-0.64)=36>10$

Calculate the statistic

The statistic is calculated with the following formula:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o(1-p_o)}{n}}}$

On this case the value of $p_o=0.5$ is the value that we are testing and n = 100.

$z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{100}}}=2.8$

The p value for the test would be:

$p_v =P(z>2.8)=1-P(z$

Part c

Using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%.

If g(x)= x=2 and h(x) = 4 - X, what is the value of (gºh)(-3)?

navik [9.2K]

The required value of (g°h)(-3) is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

g(x)= x-2 and h(x) = 4 - x

To find (g°h)(-3)

Now,

(g°h)(x) = g(h(x))

= g(4-x)

= (4-x)-2 = 2-x

So,

(g°h)(-3) = 2-(-3) = 5 [ putting x=-3]

Why do we use congruence?

NARA [144]

For people to comprehend the structure of their world, congruence is a crucial mathematical concept. Young children's daily interactions with congruence enable them to build innate perceptions of this geometric relationship.

Congruent:

If the size and shape of two triangles are same, they are said to be congruent. Three equal sides and identical angles are shared by two congruent triangles with regard to one another. Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent is referred to by the theorem CPCTC. According to the CPCTC theorem, whenever two triangles are congruent, then each of their corresponding parts are also congruent. In other words, if two or more triangles are congruent, then their corresponding sides and angles are also congruent or equivalent in size.
