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

What is the answer to 210 heartbeats in 3 minutes what is the unit rate
S_A_V [24]
For this question you have to find how many heartbeats are in 1 minute.
So if you divide 210 by 3 you get 70
So, my answer here would be. 70 heartbeats per minute

This is solving differential equations by sepeartion of variables
Brums [2.3K]
\mathrm dy+k(y-70)\,\mathrm dx=0

Separating variables gives

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{y-70}=-k\,\mathrm dx

Integrating both sides gives

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y-70}=-k\int\mathrm dx
\ln|y-70|+C_1=-kx+C_2
\ln|y-70|=-kx+C

Solving for y gives

e^{\ln|y-70|}=e^{-kx+C}
y-70=e^{-kx}e^C
y=Ce^{-kx}+70

As y(1)=140, you get

140=Ce^{-k}+70
70=Ce^{-k}
C=70e^k

so the particular solution to this ODE is

y=70e^ke^{-kx}+70
y=70e^{k(1-x)}+70

Unless you have any more information, you're done.

Which is the range of the function f(x)=1/7(9)^x
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

  (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of any exponential function with a positive multiplier and a positive base is <em>all positive real numbers</em>.

The function has a horizontal asymptote at f(x)=0. That value is not part of the range.
