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

Each wheel of gias bicycle is 24 inches in diameter gia rides her bike 1,884 feet to the nearest whole number how many times doe
cupoosta [38]

The wheel turned a total of 300 times in 1,884 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The wheels of the bicycle have a diameter of 24 inches. So the radius of the wheels is 12 inches.

To determine how many times the wheel turns we divide the distance traveled by the circumference of the wheels.

The circumference of a circle is given by multiplying 2π with the radius.

The circumference of the wheel = 2(3.1415)(12) = 75.396.

The circumference of the wheel is 75.396 inches.

Step 2:

Gia traveled 1,884 feet, we need to convert this into inches.

If 1 feet = 12 inches, 1,884 feet = 22,608 inches.

The number of times the wheel turned \frac{22,608}{75.396} = 299.8567.

Rounding this off, we get that the wheel turned a total of 300 times in 1,884 feet.

Look at the given angle.
mylen [45]
Other ways are m<1, YFP and m<F.

The angle is an acute angle because it is less than a right angle (less than 90 degrees).

If a thermometer indicates 40 degrees Celsius, what's the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? A. 22°F B. 72°F C. 54°F D. 104°F
Elena L [17]
F = 9/5C + 32

F = 9/5(40) + 32
F = 72 + 32
F = 105

40°C is ~105°F,  and the closest would be D.

When working with the square root of a number, when would you have only a positive answer and when would you have both a positiv
Rama09 [41]
<span>Lets make it clear: You would have a positive answer when the value you are looking for has to be a positive number. On the other hand you would have a positive and a negative answer when you take the square root of something that doesn't have to be positive. it could be either because when a negative number is squared it becomes positive and when a positive number is squared it stays positive as well.</span>
