. 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

How many real-number solutions does the equation have?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Option b. Two solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many real number solutions the equation has we have to solve it

Given equation: -4x² + 10x + 6 = 0

taking 2 common from the equation

2(-2x² + 5x + 3) = 0

-2x² + 5x + 3 = 0

taking minus sign common from the above equation

2x² - 5x - 3 = 0

We will solve this equation by factorization in such a way that the sum of two factors is equal to -5x and the product is -6x²

2x² - 6x + x - 3 = 0

taking common above

2x(x-3) + 1(x-3) = 0

taking (x-3) common

(2x+1)(x-3) = 0

2x + 1 = 0

2x = -1

x = \frac{-1}{2}

x - 3 = 0; x = 3

the solutions are

x=\frac{-1}{2},3

Both values are real numbers, therefore correct option is b
