A random sample of n 1n1equals=139139 individuals results in x 1x1equals=3737 successes. An independent sample of n 2n2equals=14

7147 individuals results in x 2x2equals=5858 successes. Does this represent sufficient evidence to conclude that p 1 less than p 2p1

Answer:

z=-2.32  

p_v =P(Z  

If we compare the p value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion 1 is significant lower than the proportion 2 at 5% of significance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

X_{1}=37 represent the number of people with characteristic 1

X_{2}=58 represent the number of people with characteristic 2

n_{1}=139 sample 1 selected

n_{2}=147 sample 2 selected

p_{1}=\frac{37}{139}=0.266 represent the proportion of people with characteristic 1

p_{2}=\frac{58}{147}=0.395 represent the proportion of people with characteristic 2

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion 1 is less than the proportion 2, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} \geq p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} < p_{2}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{37+58}{139+147}=0.332

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.266-0.395}{\sqrt{0.332(1-0.332)(\frac{1}{139}+\frac{1}{147})}}=-2.32  

4) Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha we can assuem it 0.05, and we can calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a one left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

So if we compare the p value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion 1 is significant lower than the proportion 2 at 5% of significance.

Let P(x) = 3x³-ax+b. If P(1) = P(-1) and P(2)=16, find the values of a and b
kozerog [31]

P(1) = P(-1)

P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b

-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.

P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.

So, a = 3 and b = -2

Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)

P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.

Need help + explanation!! ^_^
Paha777 [63]
780, or C, is correct.  Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:

9.75 = 1/80x

Then multiply each side by 80:

780 = x

The actual building's height is 780 ft.

We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:

9.75 = 1/80(780)

9.75 = 9.75
