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

Find the area of the figure below
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The total area is 300 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find  the area of the rectangle

A = l*w = 24*10 = 240

Then find the area of the triangle on the top

A = 1/2 bh

The base is 24 and the height is 15-10 = 5

A = 1/2 (24)*5 = 60

Add them together

240+60 = 300

The total area is 300 ft^2

Express -32/243 into power notation​
lesya692 [45]

This problem can take a while if you cannot observer the answer quickly.

First of all we can see that 32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5

243, if you don't know its actually is 3^5

Now we can see that this turns into...

- 2^5/3^5

since the 5th power doesn't change the sign of the original number, we can put the negative in the ( ), if you don't know what I mean look below

(-3)^2=9 Positive

(-3)^3=-27 Negative since its to the odd power it keeps the sign.

This problem can be simplified to.

(-2/3)^5

And this is the answer :D

If you have any questions just put them in the comments.
