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% .

What is the standard form of (6x^2-8x-7)+(8x^2-76x)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:  14x^2 - 84x - 7

====================================================

Explanation:

The like terms 6x^2 and 8x^2 combine to 14x^2

The like terms -8x and -76x combine to -84x

Nothing pairs with the -7, so its stays as is.

Standard form is where we list the terms in decreasing exponent order. We can think of -84x as -84x^1 and the -7 as -7x^0. So 14x^2 - 84x - 7 would be the same as 14x^2 - 84x^1 - 7x^0. The exponents count down: 2,1,0.

The final answer is a trinomial since it has three terms. It is also a quadratic because the degree (highest exponent) is 2.

Answer:

20(pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

• equation for the circumference of a circle= 2(pi)r

• You are given the diameter ( 20ft) but you need the radius (r) for the equation.

• divide 20 by 2 to get the radius since it is half of the diameter.

• 20/2=10 so c= 2(pi)(10)

• 2(10)=20

• plug in pi and your final answer is 20(pi)
