Do students that are "Greek" (those who belong to a sorority/fraternity) have a tendency to be more involved in student governme

nt events than students who are "Not Greek"? Specifically, do more "Greek" students than "Not Greek" vote in the student elections? Let "Greek" students be group A and "Not-Greek" students be group B. Out of 250 randomly selected "Greek" students, 200 voted in the last election. Out of 500 randomly selected "Not Greek" students, 140 randomly selected "Not Greek" students voted in the last election. How would we write the alternative hypothesis? Group of answer choicesA. Ha: pA - pB = 0
B. Ha: pA - pB > 0
C. Ha: pA - pB < 0
D. Ha: pA - pB does not equal 0

Answer:

Option B is correct.

The alternative hypothesis is given Mathematically as

Ha: pA - pB > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For hypothesis testing, the first thing to define is the null and alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and usually takes the form of the opposite of the theory to be tested. It usually contains the signs =, ≤ and ≥ depending on the directions of the test.

While, the alternative hypothesis takes the other side of the hypothesis; that there is indeed a significant difference between two proportions being compared. It usually confirms the the theory being tested by the experimental setup.

For this question, we want to test if students who are "Greek" (those who belong to a sorority/fraternity) have a tendency to be more involved in student government events than students who are "Not Greek" by checking the proportion of each group of students that turn out to vote in the student government elections.

If the proportion of Greek students that turn out to vote in the student government elections = pA

And

The proportion of non-Greek students that turn out to vote in the student government elections = pB

And the difference between them is given as

μ₀ = pA - pB

The theory to be tested that pA > pB, would constitute the alternative hypothesis and the null hypothesis would say that either the proportions are equal or proportion of non-greek students that turn out to vote is more than the proportion of Greek students that turn out to vote in the student government elections.

Mathematically,

The null hypothesis would be that

H₀: μ₀ = pA - pB ≤ 0

or

H₀: pA = pB

And the alternative hypothesis would be that

Hₐ: μ₀ = pA - pB > 0

or

Hₐ: pA > pB

Thereby, confirming the theory to be tested.

Hope this Helps!!!

Simplify 8 over negative 4 divided by negative 3 over 9. 6 −6 12 −12
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}

Required

Solve

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}

We start by converting the division sign to multiplication

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9} =\frac{8}{-4} *  \frac{-9}{3}

Then, we divide -9 by 3

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}=\frac{8}{-4} *  -3

Then, we divide 8 by -4

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9}=-2 *  -3

Multiply -2 and -3 to give final result

\frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9} = 6

Hence, \frac{8}{-4} /  \frac{-3}{9} is equivalent to 6

6. A prism has bases that are equilateral triangles with sides lengths of 10 inches and a length of 30 inches.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is 1,299\ in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the prism is equal to

V=BL

where

B is the area of the triangular base

L is the length of the prism

we have

L=30\ in

<em>Find the area of the base B</em>

The area of a equilateral triangle is equal to

B=\frac{1}{2}(10)^{2} sin(60\°)

B=25\sqrt{3}\ in^{2}

substitute

V=(25\sqrt{3})(30)=1,299\ in^{3}

MANY PTS AND BRAINLY FAST
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-6x^{2} -6x+12=0

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

-6x^{2} -6x=-12

step 2

Factor -6 leading coefficient'

-6(x^{2} +x)=-12

step 3

Complete the square

Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

-6(x^{2} +x+0.25)=-12-1.5

-6(x^{2} +x+0.25)=-13.5

step 4

Rewrite as perfect squares

-6(x+0.5)^{2}=-13.5

simplify

(x+0.5)^{2}=2.25

Create a word problem using 30+2d as the answer
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Sonya pays a flat fee of $30 for her phone bill and pays $2 per gigabyte she uses per month. Put Sonya's bill as an equation with <em>d</em> being how many gigabytes she uses per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We get the flat fee of $30 from "30 + 2d" and the $2 per gigabyte from "30 + 2d" and since we want to find out Sonya's total bill, that's where the + in "30 + 2d" comes from. We want the variable to be <em>d</em> therefore <em>d</em> is how many gigabytes she uses per month.
