Answer:

We conclude that there has been a decrease in the percentage of females in the company from last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Last year, 50% of MNM, Inc. employees were female. It is believed that there has been a reduction in the percentage of females in the company.

This year, in a random sample of 400 employees, 180 were female.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Let p = percentage of females in the company this year.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \geq 50%   {means that there has not been a decrease in the percentage of females in the company from last year}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p < 50%   {means that there has been a decrease in the percentage of females in the company from last year}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                                   T.S.  = \frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = proportion of female in a sample of 400 employees = \frac{180}{400} = 0.45

           n = sample of employees = 400

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.45-0.50}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{400} } } } }

                               =  -2.0101

The value of the test statistics is -2.0101.

Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as -2.0101 < -1.6449, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that there has been a decrease in the percentage of females in the company from last year.

I bet you're doing the Law of Sines right now. If you use the law of sines you find out that angle A is a 90 degree angle. There is only one triangle you can make with these measurements because if you have one angle of 30 and another of 90, the 3rd angle has to be a 60 degree angle. So it is a special right triangle, 30-60-90
