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.

Arada [10]

Answer:

simple just follow me and mark it brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE THREE CONSECUTIVE EVEN INTEGERS BE

(x+2) ,(x+4) ,(x+6)

then

according to the question

4(x+2) – (x+6) = 2(x+4) + 6

4x + 8 – x – 6= 2x + 8+6

3x +2 = 2x + 14

3x – 2x= 14 –2

x= 12

the numbers are

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says,

A roulette wheel has 38 slots, of which 18 are black, 18 are red,and 2 are green. When the wheel is spun, the ball is equally likely to come to rest in any of the slots. One of the simplest wagers chooses red or black. A bet of $1 on red returns $2 if the ball lands in a red slot. Otherwise, the player loses his dollar. When gamblers bet on red or black, the two green slots belong to the house. Because the probability of winning $2 is 18/38, the mean payoff from a $1 bet is twice 18/38, or 94.7 cents. Explain what the law of large numbers tells us about what will happen if a gambler makes very many betson red.

The law of large numbers tells us that as the gambler makes many bets, they will have an average payoff of which is equivalent to 0.947.

Therefore, if the gambler makes n bets of $1, and as the n grows/increase large, they will have only $0.947*n out of the original $n.

That is as n increases the gamblers will get $0.947 in n places

More generally, as the gambler makes a large number of bets on red, they will lose money.

If Whitney wrote the decimal representations for the first 300 positive integer multiples of 5 and did not write any other numbe
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

201 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's the first 300 positive integer multiples of 5, then the last integer will be: 300 × 5 = 1500

While the first is 5.

The sequence is like this;

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, .. 1500

Since for every 2 integers that are multiples of 5, 1 will include the digit 5, then it means that, number of times the unit place will have 5 is; 300/5 = 150 times

Now, between 5 and 100, the only value that has 5 in it's tense place is 50 & 55.

So for every 100 numbers, we have 2 times to write 5 in the tens place. Thus, for 1500 numbers, we will write 5 in the tens place: 1500/100 × 2 = 30 times

Now, for the hundreds place, from 500 and 600, we have 21 multiples of 5 inclusive of 500 and 600 but since we want the one that has 5 in the hundreds place, then it is 20 as they all start with 5 excluding 600.

Also, from 1000 to 1500, the only number that has 5 in its hundreds place is 1500.

Thus,total times 5 is written in the hundreds place = 21 times

Total number of times 5 is written = 150 + 30 + 21 = 201 times
