Two different types of polishing solutions are being evaluated for possible use in a tumble-polish operation for manufacturing i

nterocular lenses used in the human eye following cataract surgery. Three hundred lenses were tumble polished using the first polishing solution, and of this number, 253 had no polishing-induced defects. Another 300 lenses were tumble-polished using the second polishing solution, and 196 lenses were satisfactory upon completion.
Is there any reason to believe that the two polishing solutions differ? Use α = 0.05. What is the P-value for this test?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.843-0.653}{\sqrt{0.748(1-0.748)(\frac{1}{300}+\frac{1}{300})}}=5.358    

p_v =2*P(Z>5.358) = 4.2x10^{-8}  

Comparing the p value with the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that we have singificantly differences between the two proportions.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

X_{1}=253 represent the number with no defects in sample 1

X_{2}=196 represent the number with no defects in sample 1

n_{1}=300 sample 1

n_{2}=300 sample 2

p_{1}=\frac{253}{300}=0.843 represent the proportion of number with no defects in sample 1

p_{2}=\frac{196}{300}=0.653 represent the proportion of number with no defects in sample 2

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

\alpha=0.05 significance level given

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if is there is a difference in the the two proportions, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} - p_2}=0  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} - p_{2} \neq 0  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{253+196}{300+300}=0.748  

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.  

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.843-0.653}{\sqrt{0.748(1-0.748)(\frac{1}{300}+\frac{1}{300})}}=5.358    

Statistical decision

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>5.358) = 4.2x10^{-8}  

Comparing the p value with the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that we have singificantly differences between the two proportions.

Graph the linear equation find three points that solves the equation 2y=5x+11
Julli [10]

Answer:

<h3>Attachment</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to the slope-intercept form (<em>y = mx + b</em>):

2y=5x+11             <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

\dfrac{2y}{2}=\dfrac{5x}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{2}x+\dfrac{11}{2}

We choose any three x values ​​and calculate the y value:

for x = -1

y=\dfrac{5}{2}(-1)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{6}{2}=3\to A(-1,\ 3)

for x = 1

y=\dfrac{5}{2}(1)+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\to B(1,\ 8)

for x = -3

y=\dfrac{5}{2}(-3)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{15}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{4}{2}=-2\to C(-3,\ -2)

Mark the points on the coordinate plane and draw a line through the given points.

Single adults: According to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data, in 2012, 20% of American adults ages 25 and older had
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The number that had never been married will vary in each sample due to the random selection of adults.

This number will vary in each sample to the random selection process but they might or might not be as close as possible to one another after sampling.

Which pair of functions are inverses of each other?
klio [65]

f(x) = 10x -5 and g(x) = (x+5)/10  are inverses of each other , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>

A function is a mathematical statement which relates two variables , a dependent and an independent variable.

The inverse of a function is found by replacing every y by x and vice versa , and then solve for y

The equation

f(x) = 4/x - 3

or

y= 4/x -3

Replacing y by x

x = 4/y -3

x +3 = 4/y

y = 4/(x+3)

Which do not correlate with the given inverse

f(x) = 10x -5

y = 10x -5

for finding inverse

10y -5 = x

10y = x+5

y = (x+5)/10

g(x) = (x+5)/10

Therefore , Option D is the correct answer.
