4.One attorney claims that more than 25% of all the lawyers in Boston advertise for their business. A sample of 200 lawyers in B

oston showed that 63 of the lawyers had used some form of advertising for their business. At 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the attorney’s claim? (Use the P-value method to test this hypothesis).

Answer:

z=\frac{0.315 -0.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{200}}}=2.123  

p_v =P(Z>2.123)=0.0169  

The p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of lawyers had used some form of advertising for their business is significantly higher than 0.25 or 25% .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=200 represent the random sample taken

X=63 represent the lawyers had used some form of advertising for their business

\hat p=\frac{63}{200}=0.315 estimated proportion of lawyers had used some form of advertising for their business

p_o=0.25 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that more than 25% of all the lawyers in Boston advertise for their business:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.25  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.25  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

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

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.315 -0.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{200}}}=2.123  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z>2.123)=0.0169  

The p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of lawyers had used some form of advertising for their business is significantly higher than 0.25 or 25% .

Which of the lines is perpendicular to the line shown in the graph
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The line passing through (-8, 10) and (-1, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. The slope of the line in the picture is 7\over 6, so we should find a line with slope of -6\over 7.

Note that the slope of the line in the last option is -7\over 6.

Allied Corporation is trying to sell its new machines to Ajax. Allied claims that the machine will pay for itself since the time
kvasek [131]

Answer:

z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀  we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine

Step-by-step explanation:

We must evaluate the differences of the means of the two machines, to do so, we will assume a CI  of 95%, and as the interest is to find out if the new machine has better performance ( machine has a bigger efficiency or the new machine produces more units per unit of time than the old one) the test will be a one tail-test (to the left).

New machine

Sample mean                  x₁ =    25

Sample variance               s₁  = 27

Sample size                       n₁  = 45

Old machine

Sample mean                    x₂ =  23  

Sample variance               s₂  = 7,56

Sample size                       n₂  = 36

Test Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis                         H₀             x₂  -  x₁  = d = 0

Alternative hypothesis             Hₐ            x₂  -  x₁  <  0

CI = 90 %  ⇒  α =  10 %     α = 0,1      z(c) = - 1,28

To calculate z(s)

z(s)  =  ( x₂  -  x₁ ) / √s₁² / n₁  +  s₂² / n₂

s₁  = 27     ⇒    s₁²  =  729

n₁  = 45    ⇒   s₁² / n₁    = 16,2

s₂  = 7,56   ⇒    s₂²  = 57,15

n₂  = 36     ⇒    s₂² / n₂  =  1,5876

√s₁² / n₁  +  s₂² / n₂  =  √ 16,2  + 1.5876    = 4,2175

z(s) = (23 - 25 )/4,2175

z(s)  =  - 0,4742

Comparing z(s) and  z(c)

|z(s)| < | z(c)|  

z(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀  we did not find a significantly difference in the performance of the two machines therefore we suggest not to buy a new machine

The very hight dispersion of values s₁ = 27 is evidence of frecuent values quite far from the mean

What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 3pi/5 radians and a diameter of 21.2cm
Elenna [48]
Answer: 105.84 cm^2

To find the answer, first you have to start by finding the percent of the circle in the sector. Convert the radians given to 108 degrees. 108 out of 360 is 30%. 

Now, find the area of the circle. It's pi x r^2, so the area is 352.810.

Multiply this by 30% to find our area of 105.84 cm^2

A right triangle has one angle that measure 23o. The adjacent leg measures 27.6 cm and the hypotenuse measures 30 cm.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

161.8cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for height which is the opposite

opp=x

sin(theata)= opp./hyp.

sin23=x/30

x=30×sin23

x=11.72cm

height=opposite

height=11.72cm

base=adjacent

base=27.6cm

½of 27.6cm=13.8

13.8cm×11.72cm=161.74 (2d.p)

161.74 rounded to the nearest tenths= 161.7

I'm not sure if it's the answer but it's the closest thing to the options

x2 + 7x - 18 Select one of the factors of the quadratic expression. A) (x+2) B) (x+6) C) (x-2) D) (x-6)
lubasha [3.4K]
The factors of this expression would be (x+9)(x-2). You have to find two numbers that are factors of -18 that add up to 7. These numbers would be 9 and -2:
(9)x(-2)= -18
and 9 + (-2)= 7
Your answer is C) (x-2).
