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.

Un edificio proyecta una sombra de 7.5m.mientras que un arbol que mide 1.6 m de altura proyecta una sombra 1.85 M¿Cual es la alt
sattari [20]

Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.

Which is the height of the building?"

We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:

(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)

H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m

H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m

The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

The probabilities of knocking down zero, one, and two pins are 0.175, 0.189, and 0.264, respectively.  The total probability of knocking down at most two is thus 0.175+0.189+0.264=0.628, or 62.8%.
