After she worked out the problem, she had a discrepancy (disagreement) of
about 45% between her estimate and the quotient.

That's a lot ! There's almost definitely a major mistake somewhere, and
there really isn't any way to tell whether the mistake is in the estimate or
in the quotient.

My answer to the question is that Lilly has to go all the way back to the
beginning, and do the whole thing again. Only this time, she has a harder
job to do: She not only has to make another estimate and work out the
division problem again. This time, she also has to find the mistake that
she made the first time ... and there may be more than one of them.

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

mel-nik [20]

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.

Find the equation of the exponential function represented by the table below

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

y = 3^(1 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that each time x increases by 1, y increases by a factor of 3.

Thus, the required equation has the form y = 3^x.

Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? No. Therefore we must modify the exponent:

y = 3^(1 + x)

Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? 3^(1 + 0) = 3 (correct)

If x = 2, do we get 27? 3(1 + 2) = 3^3 + 27 (correct)

Harriet works at the Mint, where new coins are made. Old and fake coins are also destroyed there. Harriet has 10 bags of $1 coin

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

She would have to weigh the fake coins and another bag of real coins to spot a difference, and then she would need to check another bag to see which was correct. Maybe thats right.
