In the past decades there have been intensive antismoking campaigns sponsored by both federal and private agencies. In one study

of national smoking trends, two random samples of U.S. adults were selected in different years: The first sample, taken in 1995, involved 4276 adults, of which 1642 were smokers. The second sample, taken in 2010, involved 3908 adults, of which 1415 were smokers. The samples are to be compared to determine whether the proportion of U.S. adults that smoke declined during the 15-year period between the samples.Let p1 be the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 1995. Let p2 denote the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 2010.The value of the z statistic for testing equality of the proportion of smokers in 1995 and 2010 isA. z = 1.39.B. z = 1.66.C. z = 2.05.D. z = 4.23.

Answer:

C. z = 2.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the test statistic for a test for the diference between proportions.

The sample 1 (year 1995), of size n1=4276 has a proportion of p1=0.384.

p_1=X_1/n_1=1642/4276=0.384

The sample 2 (year 2010), of size n2=3908 has a proportion of p2=0.3621.

p_2=X_2/n_2=1415/3908=0.3621

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0219.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.384-0.3621=0.0219

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{1642+1415}{4276+3908}=\dfrac{3057}{8184}=0.3735

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3735*0.6265}{4276}+\dfrac{0.3735*0.6265}{3908}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00005+0.00006}=\sqrt{0.00011}=0.0107

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0219-0}{0.0107}=\dfrac{0.0219}{0.0107}=2.05

z=2.05

Amir can run 151515 kilometers in one hour. How many kilometers can Amir run per minute?
DIA [1.3K]

There is no way that he can run 151515km/h, but if he really can, then :

1 hour = 60 minutes

(151515km/h)/60minutes = 2525,25km/minute

Listed below are the weights in pounds of 11 players randomly selected from the roster of the Seattle Sea-hawks when they won Su
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

No. These measures show a thinner team of NFL players according to the mean, variance, standard deviation, and quartiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The measures of variation, namely The Range, Variance, Quartiles, Interquartiles, Sum of Squares, etc. shows us how the data are dispersed.

The Range Δ is calculated:

\Delta =305-189=116 Maximum value - Minimum value for weight

Mean:

\bar{x}=\frac{189+254+235+225+190+305+202+190+252+305}{11}\approx 231.09 \:pounds

Variance:

s^{2}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i-\bar{x})^{2}}{n-1}\Rightarrow s=1923.69\\

The Standard Deviation of the sample

s=\sqrt{s^{^{2}}}\Rightarrow s\approx 43.86\\

2) Since there is no preceding exercise, the comparison was made to a recent study in which a NFL player average weight is about 245 pounds (average),

Since 25% of this list are player whose weight is 192.5 lbs and 50% (2nd Quartile) =225 lbs , finally only at the 3rd Quartile we have players above the regular NFL average with 253. This, added with the other data, allow us to say that this list is not a typical of all NFL players.
