The government of Preon (a small island nation) was voted in at the last election with 58% of the votes. That was 2 years ago, a

nd ever since then the government has assumed that their approval rating has been the same. Some recent events have affected public opinion and the government suspects that their approval rating might have changed. They decide to run a hypothesis test for the proportion of people who would still vote for them.
The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0: TT = 0.58

HA: Pi symbol ≠ 0.58

The level of significance used in the test is α = 0.05. A random sample of 114 people are asked whether or not they would still vote for the government. The proportion of people that would is equal to 0.684. You may find this standard normal table useful throughout this question.

a)Calculate the test statistic (z) for this hypothesis test. Give your answer to 3 decimal places.

z =

b)According to this test statistic, you should accept, reject, not reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

a) z=\frac{0.684 -0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{114}}}=2.250  

b) p_v =2*P(z>2.250)=0.0244  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that p_v we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=114 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.684 estimated proportion of people that their approval rating might have changed

p_o=0.58 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportion of people that their approval rating might have changed is 0.58 or no.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.58  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.58  

Part a

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.684 -0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{114}}}=2.250  

Part b: Statistical decision  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>2.250)=0.0244  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that p_v we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

What are the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle with vertices J(−4, 2) , K(2, 4) , and L(0, −2) ?
Kryger [21]
Given the coordinates of the three vertices of a triangle ABC, 
the centroid coordinates are (x1+x2+x3)/3, (y1+y2+y3)/3
<span>so (-4+2+0)/3=-2/3, ]2+4+(-2)]/3=4/3
so the coordinates are (-2/3, 4/3)</span>

Calculate the coefficients of the first four terms of the binomial expansion for the binomial (x+y)^28
MakcuM [25]

Consider the following expanded powers of (a + b)n, where a + b is any binomial and n is a whole number. Look for patterns.

Each expansion is a polynomial. There are some patterns to be noted.

1. There is one more term than the power of the exponent, n. That is, there are terms in the expansion of (a + b)n.

2. In each term, the sum of the exponents is n, the power to which the binomial is raised.

3. The exponents of a start with n, the power of the binomial, and decrease to 0. The last term has no factor of a. The first term has no factor of b, so powers of b start with 0 and increase to n.

4. The coefficients start at 1 and increase through certain values about "half"-way and then decrease through these same values back to 1.

Using b=1+r, what does b=
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Adding 12 to the circle area is equal to the square area.

Or

s2 = 12 + A

Where

s = side of square

A = area of circle

So

s2 = 12 + 36

s2 = 48

Solve this for s to get the side length
