Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: B) –10.6
Work/Explanation: Since the sequence slowly gets smaller, it is likely that each term is something added to (subtracted from) the previous term. To get from –7.9 to –8.8, it appears that the first has had –0.9 added to it. Continue adding –0.9 to get that the fourth term is –10.6.
Explanation:
5(y+3)-11=-y-6 Given
5(y+3)=-y+5 . . . . addition property of equality (11 is added)
5y+15=y+5 . . . . . distributive property (5 is distributed)
5y=-y-10 . . . . . . . addition property of equality (-15 is added)
6y=-10 . . . . . . . . . addition property of equality (y is added)
y=-5/3 Division Property of Equality/Reduce
Answer:
Z = -1.333
P-value = 0.09176
Decision Rule: Reject
if ∝ is greater than the P-value
Conclusion: Since P-value is > the level of significance ∝, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, therefore there is insufficient evidence to conclude that at least half of all voters prefer the Democrat.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The sample size of the poll = 1068
The proportion of voters that preferred Democratic candidate is
= 0.48
To test the claim that at least half of all voters prefer the Democrat, i.e 1/2 = 0.5
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:


Using the Z test statistics which can be expressed by the formula:





Z = -1.333
P-value = P(Z< -1.33)
From z tables,
P-value = 0.09176
The level of significance ∝ = 0.05
Decision Rule: Reject
if ∝ is greater than the P-value
Conclusion: Since P-value is > the level of significance ∝, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, therefore there is insufficient evidence to conclude that at least half of all voters prefer the Democrat.
