In 2010 polls indicated that 75% of Americans favored mandatory testing of students in public schools as a way to rate the schoo

l. This year in a poll of 1,000 Americans 71% favor mandatory testing for this purpose. Has public opinion changed since 2010?
We test the hypothesis that the percentage supporting mandatory testing is less than 75% this year The p-value is 0.013
Which of the following interpretation of this p-value is valid?
A. The probability that Americans have changed their opinion on this issue since 2010 is 0.013.
B. There is a 1.3% chance that the null hypothesis is true.
C. If 75% of Americans still favor mandatory testing this year, then there is a 3% chance that poll results will show 72% or fewer with this opinion.

Answer:

C. If 75% of Americans still favor mandatory testing this year, then there is a 3% chance that poll results will show 72% or fewer with this opinion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Significance level or alpha level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when null hypothesis is true. It is considered as a probability of making a wrong decision. It is a statistical test which determines probability of type I error. If the obtained probability is equal of less than critical probability value then reject the null hypothesis. In this question the sample of 1000 Americans is under test. It is the result of the poll that 75% still favor mandatory testing.

Find the measure of angle X in the triangle below.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

  X = 89.92° or 90.08°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines can be used to find the value of angle X:

  sin(X)/26 = sin(67.38°)/24

  sin(X) = (26/24)sin(67.38°) ≈ 0.99999901787

There are two values of X that have this sine:

  X = arcsin(0.99999901787) ≈ 89.92°

  X = 180° -arcsin(0.99999901787) ≈ 90.08°

There are two solutions: X = 89.92° or 90.08°.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

We suspect that the angle is supposed to be considered to be 90°. However, the given angle is reported to 2 decimal places, so we figure the requested angle should also be reported to 2 decimal places.

The lengths of the short side that correspond to the above angles are 10.03 and 9.97 units. If the short side were considered to be 10 units, the triangle would be a right triangle, and the larger acute angle would be ...

  arcsin(24/26) ≈ 67.38014° . . . . rounds to 67.38°

This points up the difficulty of trying to use the Law of Sines on a triangle that is actually a right triangle.

I need help with this problem. <br>​
Zina [86]

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's this of y=\sqrt{x} which is it's parent function.

How do we get to y=-\sqrt{x-1}+4 from there?

It has been reflected about the a-axis because of the - in front of the square root.

It has been shifted right 1 unit because of the -(1) in the square root.

It has been moved up 4 units because of the +4 outside the square root.

In general:

y=a(x-h)^2+k has the following transformations from the parent:

Moved right h units if h is positive.

Moved left h units if h is negative.

Moved up k units if k is positive.

Moved down k units if k is negative.

If a is positive, it has not been reflected.

If a is negative, it has been reflected about the x-axis.

a also tells us about the stretching factor.

The parent function has a starting point at (0,0).  Where does this point move on the new graph?

It new graphed was the parent function but reflected over x-axis and shifted right 1 unit and moved up 4 units.

So the new starting point is (0+1,0+4)=(1,4).
