A random sample of 10161016 adults in a certain large country was asked​ "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity o

r a luxury you could do​ without?" Of the 10161016 adults​ surveyed, 517517 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answer:

0.509

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a random sample of 1016 adults in a certain large country was asked​ "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could do​ without?"

Of the 1016 adults​ surveyed, 517 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without.

To find out the point estimate of population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without.

We find that point estimate is nothing but sample proportion

Sample proportion = favourably voters/total people surveyed

= \frac{517}{1016} \\=0.5088\\=0.509

Answer:

Option b - not significantly greater than 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 100 people was taken i.e. n=100

Eighty of the people in the sample favored Candidate i.e. x=80

We have used single sample proportion test,

p=\frac{x}{n}

p=\frac{80}{100}

p=0.8

Now we define hypothesis,

Null hypothesis H_0 : candidate A is significantly greater than 75%.

Alternative hypothesis H_1 : candidate A is not significantly greater than 75%.

Level of significance \alpha=0.05

Applying test statistic Z -proportion,

Z=\frac{\widehat{p}-p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}}

Where, \widehat{p}=80\%=0.80 and p=75%=0.75

Substitute the values,

Z=\frac{0.80-0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{100}}}

Z=\frac{0.80-0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1875}{100}}}

Z=\frac{0.05}{0.0433}

Z=1.1547

The p-value is

P(Z>1.1547)=1-P(Z

P(Z>1.1547)=1-0.8789

P(Z>1.1547)=0.1241

Now, the p-value is greater than the 0.05.

So we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the A is not significantly greater than 75%.

Therefore, Option b is correct.

WHAT IS THE LENGTH!!!
Murljashka [212]

The figure is a trapezoid (or trapezium), and the exact length of the trapezoid is 5 units

<h3>How to determine the length?</h3>

The figure is a trapezoid with the following parameters:

Area = 107.95

Base= 12

Height = 12.7

Length = x

The area of a trapezoid is:

Area = 0.5 * (Base + Length) * Height

So, we have:

0.5 * (12 + Length) * 12.7 = 107.95

Evaluate the product

(12 + Length) * 6.35 = 107.95

Divide both sides by 6.35

12 + Length = 17

Subtract 12 from both sides

Length =  5

Hence, the length of the trapezoid is 5 units

How can N+4/3=1/3,What is the value of N
ivann1987 [24]
N + 4 / 3    = 1 / 3

Multiply both sides by 3 :

3* ( N + 4 / 3 ) = 3 * ( 1 / 3 )

∴

N + 4  = 1

Subtract  4 from both sides:

N + 4 - 4 = 1 - 4

N = - 3

hope this helps !.
