The US Department of Energy reported that 48% of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 333 homes in Oregon found

that 149 were heated by natural gas. Test the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different from what was reported. Use a 1% significance level.

Answer:
Option B) Do not reject null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Sample size, n = 333
p = 48% = 0.48
Alpha, α = 0.01
Number of women belonging to union , x = 149
First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

This is a two-tailed test.  
Formula:


Putting the values, we get,

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.
P-value = 0.273079
Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different from what was reported.
B. Do not reject null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

slega [8]

Answer:

33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the percent change is x%. Then the equation is:

30 + x% * 30 = 40

Subtract 30 from both sides:

x% * 30 = 10

Divide by 30:

x% = 10/30 = 1/3

Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so:

x/100 = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 100:

x = (1/3) * 100 = 33.3%

How do you find the equation of a triangles altitude using point slope formula?
forsale [732]
<span><span><span>1. An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line. </span>

<span>If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle: 

 

Let point 
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC) 



------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment AB 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through AB is  


------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment BC 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through BC is  




------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment CA 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through CA is  




So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle 


 



So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope  to get 

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex C is  



Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get  

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex A is  




Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get  

Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex B is  



------------------------------------------------------------ 
Now let's solve the system 


 

 Plug in  into the first equation 

 Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides 

 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x 


Now plug this into  

 

 



So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3) 

So if we plug in  into the third equation , we get 


 


 


 

 

So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude

The population of a town in 2000 was 430. The population is increasing at a rate of 0.9% every year. What will be the projected
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1018.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplying factor here is 1 +0.09 = 1.09. Every year the current population figure is multiplied by 1.09. We have 10 years of growth so:

  P(2010) =  430(1.09)^10

= 1018.
