According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a U.S. government agency, 17.3% of 8th graders in 2010 had used marijuana at

some point in their lives. A school official hopes to show the percentage is lower in his district, testing LaTeX: H_0H 0: LaTeX: p=0.173p = 0.173 versus LaTeX: H_aH a: LaTeX: p<0.173p < 0.173. The health department for the district uses anonymous random sampling and finds that 10% of 80 eighth-graders surveyed had used marijuana. Are conditions met for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportions?

Answer:

The conditions for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportion are not met. He should increase the sample size until the conditions are met.

If the test is done anyway, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

The conclusion is taht there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the percentage is lower in this district.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportion are not met, as the affirmative responses are less than 10.

np=80*0.1=8

If the test of hypothesis is done as if the conditiones were met, we know that the claim is that  the percentage is lower in this district.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.173\\\\H_a:\pi

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=80.

The sample proportion is p=0.1.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.173*0.827}{80}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001788}=0.042

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.1-0.173+0.5/80}{0.042}=\dfrac{-0.067}{0.042}=-1.578

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

P-value=P(z

As the P-value (0.057) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that  the percentage is lower in this district.

Find the slope-intercept form of the
3241004551 [841]
Parallel lines have the same slope.
So I plug in the -5 and -4
-4 = 1/2(-5) + b
-4 = -2.5 + b
b = -1.5

So I get y = 1/2x - 3/2

What is the exact distance from (−4, −2) to (4, 6)?
Gekata [30.6K]
The distance between any two points is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d^2=(6--2)^2+(4--4)^2

d^2=8^2+8^2

d^2=64+64

d^2=128

d=√128 units

What is 321.5 Kilometers per hour converted to MPH
inessss [21]
321.5\ kmph\approx\boxed{199.770777\ mph}

By the way, Google has a built in calculator. You can just type in "321.5 kmph in mph" and it will come up with this answer.

You could also use the fact that 1\ km\approx0.621371\ mi,
According to the properties of equality, if you have two equal expressions and you change them in the same way, the results wil also be equal.
So that means we can multiply each side by 321.5 and get our answer above.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that goes through the point (-9,4) and is perpendicular to line y=-3x-2
nadezda [96]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slope is opposite reciprocal so it will be 1/3

Use the slope and point given and plug into y = mx  + b

4 = 1/3 (-9) + b

4 = -3 + b

7 = b

write new equation with new b and m

y = 1/3x + 7
