A newspaper is conducting a statewide survey concerning the race for governor. The newspaper will take a simple random sample of

n registered voters and determine X = the number of voters that will vote for the Democratic candidate. Is there evidence that a clear majority of the population will vote for the Democratic candidate? To answer this, they will test the hypotheses H0: p = 0.50 versus Ha: p > 0.50. Consider the two scenarios, where in Scenario 1, n = 1200 and X = 640. In Scenario 2, n = 120 and X = 64. Even though the values for are the same in the two scenarios, we come to opposite decisions (we reject H0 in one scenario and we do not in the other). What is the reason for these contrasting decisions? Group of answer choices

Answer:

Larger sample size gives less std error and hence test statistic is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a newspaper  is conducting a statewide survey concerning the race for governor. The newspaper will take a simple random sample of n registered voters and determine X = the number of voters that will vote for the Democratic candidate. Is there evidence that a clear majority of the population will vote for the Democratic candidate

Group        I   II

Success    640 64

Total   1200 120

p 0.533333333 0.533333333

q 0.466666667 0.466666667

se 0.014401646 0.045542003

p diff 0.033333333 0.033333333

Z 2.314550249 0.731925055

p      0.01           0.233

we find that though p is the same, std error is very small for larger sample size thus making z statistic much bigger.  So we get p value less than 0.05 whereas for 120 sample size, std error is large so Z statistic is small thus making p value to accept null hypothesis

the difference between 2 whole number is 66 the ratio of the 2 whole number is 2.5 what are the two numbers​​
ch4aika [34]

Given :difference between 2 whole number = 66ratio of the 2 whole number =2:5Let:1 whole number be 2x2 whole number be 5xA/Q

difference between 2 whole number = 66

Let's turn it into algebraic equation:

5x - 2x = 663x= 66x =66 /3x =22

Now Let's put value of x to find two whole numbers

Finaly :1 whole number = 2x1 whole number = 2×221 whole number =44

2 whole number = 5x2 whole number = 5×222 whole number = 110

Int he figure below find AC
Ahat [919]

Given :-

  • Two triangles with their two angles equal .

To Find :-

  • Measure of AC .

Answer :-

Here in ∆ABC and ∆EDC ,

  • \angle CAB = \angleCED (given )
  • \angle CBA = \angleCDE (given)

Therefore by AA similarity criterion , we can say that ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC . Also we know that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional . So ,

→ AC/EC = BC/DC

→ AC/9 = 8/12

→ AC = 8/12 * 9

→ AC = 6

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>measure</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>side </u><u>AC </u><u>is </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

I hope this helps.
