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% .

Solve a triangle when A=15° B=113° and b=7?
JulsSmile [24]

Let us draw a triangle ABC with A=15° ,B=113° and b=7.

Please see the attached image.

We know that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, we have

A+B+C=180\\
\\
15+113+C= 180\\
\\
C=62^{\circ}

Apply Sine rule in the triangle ABC, we get

\frac{a}{\sin 15}= \frac{7}{\sin 113}\\
\\
a=\frac{7 \sin 15}{\sin 113}\\
\\
a=1.97\\
\\
\text{Again apply sine rule, we get}\\
\\
\frac{c}{\sin 62}= \frac{7}{\sin 113}\\
\\
c=\frac{7 \sin 62}{\sin 113}\\
\\
c=6.71

Therefore, we have

a=1.97\\
c=6.71\\
C=62^{\circ}

Please help with these problems having trouble!!

The function f(x) is vertically compressed to form g(x) while the function f(x) is vertically compressed and then reflected across the x-axis to form h(x)

<h3>How to compare both functions?</h3>

The functions are given as

f(x) =x^2

g(x) =3x^2

h(x) = -3x^2

Substitute f(x) =x^2 in g(x) =3x^2 and h(x) = -3x^2

g(x) =3f(x)

h(x) = -3f(x)

This means that the function f(x) is vertically compressed to form g(x)

Also, the function f(x) is vertically compressed and then reflected across the x-axis to form h(x)

See attachment for the functions g(x) and h(x)

Also, functions f(x) and g(x) have the same domain and range

While functions f(x) and h(x) have the same domain but different range

The complete table is:

x      -2    -1    0   1    2

g(x)  12    3    0    3   12

h(x)  -12    -3    0    -3   -12
