Answer:

Answer is C. 0.1539

Refer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A medical school claims that more than 28% of its students plan to go into general practice. It is found that among a random sample of 130 of the school's students, 32% of them plan to go into general practice. The P-value for a test of the school's claim is:

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- A medical school claim was made on the population proportion that more than P = 0.28 (28%) of its student plan to go into general practise.

- A sample of n = 130 students were taken and the sample proportion was found out to be p = 0.32 ( 32% ).

- We will first estimate the sample standard deviation (σ) by assuming that the population is normally distributed with conditions :

                       n*P = 130*0.28 = 36.4 ≥ 10

                       n*( 1 - P ) = 130*0.72 = 93.6 ≥ 10

- The condition of normality are valid. The population is assumed to be normally distributed. The sample must also be normally distributed. The sample standard deviation (σ):

                        σ =  √[ P*(1-P) /n ]   = √[ 0.28*(1-0.28) /130 ]        

                        σ = √0.00155 = 0.03937          

- The Z-score test statistic for the sample proportion p can be determined by:

                       Z-test = ( p - P ) / σ

                       Z-test = ( 0.32 - 0.28 ) / 0.0397

                       Z-test = 1.00755

- The p-value of the Z-test is the probability of values where Z value is greater than the Z-test:

                   p-value = P ( Z > Z-test )

                   p-value = P ( Z > 1.00755 ) = 1 - 0.843

                                                                = 0.157

- The p -value is = 0.157 ≈ 0.1539

9y-5x=20 i dono how to do this x and y intercwpt thingy
bagirrra123 [75]
     9y - 5x = 20
or, (9y - 5x) / 20 = 1
or, 9/20 y - 1/4 x = 1
compare with x/a + y/b = 1
you'll get
x intercept (a) = -4
y intercept (b) = 20/9

A city was founded at the beginning of 1990 with a population of 55,000, and since then, the growth in its population has been e
andrew-mc [135]
You can solve this analytically to get
.. 55000*(1 +x/100)^10 = 108193
.. (1 +x/100)^10 = 108193/55000
.. 1 +x/100 = (108193/55000)^(1/10)
.. x = 100*((108193/55000)^(1/10) -1) ≈ 7.00

but I find it just as fast to have a graphing calculator do it.

The city's population is increasing 7% per year.

Which is the simplified form of the expression 3(7/5x+4) - 2(3/2 - 5/4x)?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. \frac{67}{10} x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression. Remember to go by the order of operations, or PEMDAS.

1) First, distribute the numbers outside of the set of parentheses to the terms inside the set of parentheses next to them. Then, simplify the fractions.

3(\frac{7}{5} x + 4) -2 (\frac{3}{2} -\frac{5}{4} x)

\frac{21}{5}x + 12  - \frac{6}{2} + \frac{10}{4} x

\frac{21}{5} x + 12 - 3 + \frac{10}{4} x

2) Finally, combine like terms. (This means to add or subtract constants and to add or subtract terms with the same variables.) You may need to convert terms to the same denominator in order to do so easier. Then, reduce the fraction.

\frac{21}{5} x + 9 + \frac{10}{4}x \\\frac{84}{20}x + \frac{50}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{134}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{67}{10}x + 9

Thus, the answer is \frac{67}{10} x + 9.
