4 0

The boat traveled 6.75 miles in half an hour. You get this by dividing 27 by 4 (because there is 4 half hour segments in 2 hours).

In recent years more people have been working past the age of 65. In 2005, 27% of people aged 65–69 worked. A recent report from

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

a) The point estimate of the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working is p=0.3 or 30%.

b) We can express this null and alternative hypothesis as:

$H_0: \pi=0.27\\H_1:\pi\neq0.27$

c) We conclude that there is not enough evidence that the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working has increased from 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Develop a point estimate of the proportion of people aged 65–69 who are working

If we take into account the sample taken, the point estimate is

$p=\frac{180}{600} =0.3$

b) Set up a hypothesis test so that the rejection of h0 will allow you to conclude that theproportion of people aged 65–69 working has increased from 2005

To conclude some claim, we have to reject the null hypothesis. In this case, to claim that the proportion has changed and the mean is no longer 27%, we have to reject the null hypotesis that π=0.27.

We can express this null and alternative hypothesis as:

$H_0: \pi=0.27\\H_1:\pi\neq0.27$

c) Conduct your hypothesis test using α=0.05. What is your conclusion?

First we calculate the standard deviation, as we will need it to calculate the test statistic:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{N} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{600} }=0.01812$
