Multiple-choice questions on Advanced Placement exams have five options: A, B, C, D, and E. A random sample of the correct choic

e on 400 multiple-choice questions on a variety of AP exams1 shows that B was the most common correct choice, with 90 of the 400 questions having B as the answer. Does this provide evidence that B is more likely to be the correct choice than would be expected if all five options were equally likely? Show all details of the test. The data are available in APMultipleChoice.

Answer:

Option <em>B</em> is not the most common correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiple-choice questions on Advanced Placement exams have five options: A, B, C, D, and E.

The probability that any of these five option is the correct answer is:

p=\frac{1}{5}=0.20

A random sample of 400 multiple-choice questions on Advanced Placement exam are selected.

The results showed that 90 of the 400 questions having B as the answer.

To test the hypothesis that option B is more likely the correct answer for most question, the hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: All the options are equally probable, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.20.

<em>Hₐ</em>: Option B is more likely the correct option, i.e. <em>p</em> > 0.20.

Compute the sample proportion as follows:

\hat p=\frac{90}{400}=0.225

The test statistic is:

z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}=\frac{0.225-0.20}{\sqrt{\frac{0.20(1-0.20)}{400}}}= 1.25

The test statistic is 1.25.

Decision rule:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

Compute the <em>p</em>-value as follows:

p-value=P(Z>1.25)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The <em>p</em>-value is 0.1057.

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is quite large. Thus, the null hypothesis was failed to rejected.

Hence, it can be concluded that option <em>B</em> is not  the most common correct choice.

A triangle has side lengths of 33,56, and 65. Is it a right triangle? Explain.
soldier1979 [14.2K]
U can see if it is a right triangle bu using the pythagorean theorem (or however it is spelled)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2....where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (the largest side)

so lets sub our numbers in and see if they equal
33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2
1089 + 3136 = 4225
4225 = 4225.......correct...so YES, this is a right triangle
