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.

Write the equation in standard form. Identity the center and radius.<br> x² + y2 + 8x-4y-7=0
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation:</u>

  • x² + y² + 8x - 4y - 7 = 0

<u>Convert this to standard form by completing the square:</u>

  • (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) - center, r - radius
  • x² + 2*4x + 4² + y² - 2*2y + 2² - 16 - 4 - 7 = 0
  • (x + 4)² + (y - 2)² - 27 = 0
  • (x + 4)² + (y - 2)² = 27
  • (x + 4)² + (y - 2)² = (√27)²

The center is (- 4, 2) and the radius is √27

PLEASE HELP ASAP
REY [17]

The general form of the line is, 12x + 2y - 17 = 0.

What is general form?

The formula ax + by + c = 0 is one of the numerous formats in which linear functions can be expressed. The slope intercept form y = mx + b and slope-point form are two more examples.

Consider, the given equation of line

2x +\frac{1}{3}y-\frac{5}{6}=2

Multiply both sides by 6, we get

6(2x+\frac{1}{3}y-\frac{5}{6})=2(6)\\ 12x + 2y -5 = 12

Subtract 12 on both sides,

12x + 2y - 5 - 12 = 0

12x + 2y - 17 = 0

This is the general form of equation of line where there are no fractions and the coefficient of x is positive.

Hence, the required equation is, 12x + 2y - 17 = 0.
