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.

Write an inequality for the given statement: The sum of x and 25 is less than 75.
Kaylis [27]
That statement would be best express by " x + 25 < 75 ". Since the statement says the sum of x and 25, thus, it will be x + 25. Then it also states that the sum is less than 75, so the best expression would be " < 75".

Consider a deck of cards:
Ganezh [65]

Ohhhh nasty !  What a delightful little problem !

The first card can be any one of the 52 in the deck.  For each one ...
The second card can be any one of the 39 in the other 3 suits. For each one ...
The third card can be any one of the 26 in the other 2 suits.  For each one ...
The fourth card can be any one of the 13 in the last suit.

Total possible ways to draw them = (52 x 39 x 26 x 13) = 685,464 ways.

But wait !  That's not the answer yet.

Once you have the 4 cards in your hand, you can arrange them
in (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 24 different arrangements.  That tells you that
the same hand could have been drawn in 24 different ways.  So
the number of different 4-card hands is only ...

                     (685,464) / (24) = <em>28,561 hands</em>.

I love it !

What's 3 over 10 times 1over 6 ?
velikii [3]
\frac{3}{10}×\frac{1}{6}
To multiply, you multiply across. So it would be 3×1=3 and 10×6=60
Which will result in \frac{3}{60} but in order to simplify it, you find a common factor. The common factor is 3. 3÷3=1 and 60÷3=20
The answer is \frac{1}{20}
