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!!!

Taryn is shopping for a Christmas tree. At Home Depot the one she likes is $149.00 and she has a 15% off coupon. At Lowe's the o
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At home depot

Price of Christmas tree = $149.00

Discount = 15%

Amount discounted = 15% of $149

Amount discounted = 15/100 * $149

Amount discounted = 15 * 1.49

Amount discounted = $22.35

Amount she paid = $149-$22.35

Amount she paid = $126.65

At Lowe's:

Price of Christmas tree = $175.00

Discount = 260%

Amount discounted = 20% of $175

Amount discounted = 20/100 * $175

Amount discounted = 0.2 * 175

Amount discounted = $35

Amount she paid = $175-$35

Amount she paid at Lowe's = $140

<u><em>From the prices above, it can be seen that Home Depot has a better deal since the price after removing discount is lower than that of Lowe's.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Amount she will save will be $140 - $126.65 = $13.35</em></u>

stira [4]

Answer:

True, True, False, True, False, True

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>CDs have a higher mean than digital</u>

<u />

Let's check.  CD mean is (1000 + 800 + 800 + 600 + 400 + 200)/6 = 633.33

Digital mean: (100 + 300 + 300 + 500 + 700 + 900)/6 = 466.67

CD's mean is higher.  Since you are dividing byt he same number you also could have just added the amount and found which was a larger number.  But yes, this is true.

<u>The range of digital is 800</u>

<u />

The range is the highest number inus the lowest number.  For digital the highest is 900 and lowest is 100 so the ange is 900-100 = 800.  So this is true.

<u>The median of CDs is 400. </u>

<u />

The median is the middle value for odd numbers of values, or the average of the two middle values.  6 total values means you have to take the third and fourth and average them.  in CDs the middle values are 800 and 600, the average is 700, so that is what the median is.  this is false.

<u>Both have the same interquartile range. </u>

<u />

Interquartile range is to find the middle number or numbers like in median, then take the two parts it is split into and find the "median" of those.  Then subtract the larger one fromt he smaller one.

IQR of CD the first half is 200, 400, 600 so the middle here is 400, second half has a middle number of 800 so IQR here is 800-400=400

IQR of digital is 700-300 = 400 so yes both are the same.

<u>Both have the same median</u>

<u />

We know the medan of CDs is 700 then findign the median of digital is (300+500)/2 = 400.  So no, the medians are not the same.

<u>Digital’s mean is around 467. </u>

<u />

We founf the mean for digital to be 466.67 which rounds up to 467, So I would say it is true.
