According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the average age of brides marrying for the first time is 23.9 years with a populatio

n standard deviation of 4.2 years. A sociologist believes that young women are delaying marriage and marrying at a later age. The sociologist randomly samples 100 marriage records and determines the average age of the first time brides is 24.9 years. Is there sufficient evidence to support the sociologists claim at the level of significance of 1%

Answer:

We conclude that young women are delaying marriage and marrying at a later age.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average age of brides marrying for the first time is 23.9 years with a population standard deviation of 4.2 years.

The sociologist randomly samples 100 marriage records and determines the average age of the first time brides is 24.9 years.

Let \mu = <u><em>average age of brides marrying for the first time.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 23.9 years     {means that young women are not delaying marriage and marrying at a later age}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 23.9 years     {means that young women are delaying marriage and marrying at a later age}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                         T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample average age of the first time brides = 24.9 years

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 4.2 years

            n = sample of marriage records = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{24.9-23.9}{\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{100} } }

                                     =  2.381

The value of z test statistics is 2.381.

<u>Now, at 1% significance level the z table gives critical value of and 2.326 for right-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of z as 2.381 > 2.326, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that young women are delaying marriage and marrying at a later age.

A washer and a dryer cost $726 combined. The washer costs $76 more than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:Cost of dryer=$325

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dryer  be represented as  x

and the washer be x+76

such that the price of both can be written as  

dryer + washer=$726

x + x+76=726

2x+76=726

2x=726-76

2x=650

x=650/2=325

Cost of dryer =x=$325

X^2+4x=-3<br>what would be the steps to find the answer of this equation?<br><br>to find x
Verizon [17]
X^2+4x=-3
x^2+4x+3=0
(x+1)(x+3)=0
x+1=0 so x=-1
x+3=0 so x=-3
so the solution is x=-3,-1

Jesse is playing a game with a number cube with faces numbered 1 through 6. What is the probability of rolling a number that is
lana [24]

Answer:

The probability of rolling a number that is even and a multiple of 3 is \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The total possible  outcomes of cube = { 1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 , 6}

Now, let E: Event of getting an even number and a multiple of 3

So, out of all the outcomes, {6) is the ONLY possible favorable outcome.

\textrm{P(E)}  =\frac{\textrm{Number of favorable outcomes }}{\textrm{Total number of outcomes}}

or, P(E) = \frac{1}{6}

Hence, the probability of rolling a number that is even and a multiple of 3 is \frac{1}{6}

You are doing marketing research to find out the purchasing potential of students in the community. Based on the latest census,
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Number of students = 9860
Total Population = 62,400

Percentage of students in the population can be calculated by:

(Number of students/Total population) x 100%

Using the values, we get:

Percentage of students = (9860/62400) x 100% = 15.80%

Thus, students constitute 15.80% of the entire population
