According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, 331 of 502 randomly selected U.S. adults interviewed said they would not be bother

ed if the National Security Agency collected records of personal telephone calls they had made. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of U.S. adults feel this way? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a .01 significance level.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124  

p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=502 represent the random sample taken

X=331 represent the adults that said they would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

\hat p=\frac{331}{502}=0.659 estimated proportion of people who would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than the majority of 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.01. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.

Solve 2 ÷ x =5
Volgvan
So to help with the first one
2 / x = 5
multiply the x on both sides
2 = 5x
divide by 5 to isolate the x
2/5 = x

For the second one
We will use the diamond to help us find the common factor 
  \   1  /
   \    / 
    \  / 
 2 /  \   4
   / 3 \
  /      \

1) the product
2) and 4) the two numbers
and 3) is sum

10 is the product and -7 is the sum
so what two numbers (factors of 10)
will equal -7 when added

so we have these numbers that will equal the product of +10 and we will need to find the ones that will equal -7 as the sum
10*1, 2*5, -1*-10, -2*-5
if we add the two numbers we will find respectively
11, 7, -11, -7
As you can see that -2 + -5 = +10 and -2+-5= +10
So we have found the two numbers
now before we factor the expression looks like 
( x + a) (x + b)
and when factored looks like
x^2 + (a+b)x + (a*b)
Now we can plug in the numbers and solve to see if -2 and -5 are right
(x + -2) (x + -5)
we will factor it
x^2 +-5x + -2x + 10
x^2 + -7x + 10
so a = -2 and b = -5

Hope this helps :)

State the range of the relation
Finger [1]

The range of the given relation is D. R = {-1, 3, 5, 8}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The range of a relation is the second set of values while the domain constitutes the first set of values.

There are 4 given relations with two sets of values so there would be 4 domain values and 4 range values.

Step 2:

The range of (1, -1) = -1,

The range of (2, 3) = 3,

The range of (3, 5) = 5,

The range of (4, 8) = 8.

Combining these values we get the range as {-1, 3, 5, 8} which is option D.

The mean of 15 numbers is y.If each of the number is increased by 30, find the increase of the new mean in terms of y.The answer
dusya [7]

Answer:

y+30

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the numbers is 15y

the new sum after increase each number by 30 is 15y+450

the new mean 15y+450/15

= y+30
