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

dy of national smoking trends, two random samples of U.S. adults were selected in different years: The first sample, taken in 1995, involved 1500 adults, of which 576 were smokers. The second sample, taken in 2000, involved 2000 adults, of which 652 were smokers. The samples are to be compared to determine whether the proportion of U.S. adults that smoke declined during the 5-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 2000.
The hypotheses to test in this problem are
A. H0: p1 = p2, Ha: p1 < p2.
B. H0: p1 = p2, Ha: p1 > p2.
C. H0: p1 = p2, Ha: p1 ? p2.
D. H0: p1 ? p2, Ha: p1 = p2.

Answer: B. H_0:p_1=p_2

H_a:p_1>p_2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p_1 be the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 1995. Let p_2 denote the proportion of all U.S. adults that smoked in 2000.

Objective for the study : Whether the proportion of U.S. adults that smoke declined during the 5-year period between the samples.

i.e. p_1>p_2

Alternative hypothesis(H_a) is the statement containing population  parameter that shows there is significant difference between the groups being tested.

⇒ H_a:p_1>p_2

Null hypothesis(H_0) is the statement containing population parameter that shows there is no significant difference between the groups being tested.

⇒ H_0:p_1=p_2

Hence, The hypotheses to test in this problem are

H_0:p_1=p_2

H_a:p_1>p_2

Hence, the correct answer is B. H_0:p_1=p_2

H_a:p_1>p_2

you drop a ball off a cliff at 500ft. how long does it take the ball to hit the ground? h(t)= -16t^2+500
Rom4ik [11]
The height when the ball drops would be 0, so plug in 0 for h(t):
0 = -16t^2 + 500 
Then you would solve for t, which in this case would equal to the time it takes to land.
-500 = -16t^2
t = 5.59, so it would take about 5.6 seconds to reach the ground.

HELP PLEASE!!! LOOK AG PICTURE -which table represents a quadratic function? justify your answer
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

table two

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase rate for table one is constant that's why it is a linear function

In the second table, however, the increase rate increases as x increases, it is not constant; therefore, table two is a quadratic function.

Answer:

6 miles(3 miles to your friend's + 3 miles back home) Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the distance traveled by the skier during the three minutes of recreation? 360 mAdd the lengths of the three segments - 160 m + 120 m + 80 m. b. What is the net displacement of the skier during the three minutes of recreation? 120 m, EastMeasure from the starting point (A) to the ending point (D); include direction since displacement is a vector. c. What is the displacement during the second minute (from 1 min. to 2 min.)? 120 m, WestThe second minute corresponds to a movement from B to C. Measure from the starting point (B) to the ending point (C); include direction since displacement is a vector. d. What is the displacement during the third minute (from 2 min. to 3 min.)? 80 m, EastThe third minute corresponds to a movement from C to D. Measure from the starting point (C) to the ending point (D); include direction since displacement is a vector.
