Answer:

The proportion of working parents who feel they spend too little time with their children due to work commitments is not different from 60%.

Correct option: (C) None of the answers is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A two-tailed hypothesis test can be performed to determine whether the proportion of working parents who feel they spend too little time with their children due to work commitments is different from 60%.

The hypothesis is defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of working parents who feel they spend too little time with their children due to work commitments is 60%, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.60.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of working parents who feel they spend too little time with their children due to work commitments is different from 60%, i.e. <em>p</em> ≠ 0.60.

The information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 55

<em>X</em> = 38

Significance level, <em>α</em> = 0.10

<em>p</em>-value for left tail is, P (Z < z) = 0.9156.

Decision rule:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected. And if it is more that the significance level then the null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Compute the <em>p</em>-value of the test from the information provided:

<em>p</em>-value = 2 × P (Z > z)

            = 2 × [1 - P (Z < z)]

            = 2 × [1 - 0.9156]

            = 0.1688

So,

<em>p</em>-value = 0.1688 > <em>α</em> = 0.10

Thus, the null hypothesis was failed to be rejected at 10% level of significance.

Hence, concluding that the proportion of working parents who feel they spend too little time with their children due to work commitments is not different from 60%.

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

CI = <em>p</em> ± <em>z</em>-critical × √[(<em>p</em> (1 - <em>p</em>))/<em>n</em>]

Compute the sample proportion as follows:

<em>p</em> = <em>X</em>/<em>n</em>

  = 38/55

  = 0.691

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 98% confidence level is:

<em>z</em>-critical = 2.33

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the value.

Compute the 98% confidence interval for population proportion as follows:

CI = <em>p</em> ± <em>z</em>-critical × √[(<em>p</em> (1 - <em>p</em>))/<em>n</em>]

   = 0.691 ± 2.33 × √[(0.691 (1 - 0.691))/55]

   = 0.691 ± 0.009

   = (0.682, 0.700)

Thus, the 98% confidence interval for population proportion of working parents who feel they spend too little time with their children due to work commitments is (0.682, 0.700).

Correct option is (C).

Suppose y varies jointly as x and z. Find y when x=-9 and z=23, if y=117 when x=-3 and z=-11. Round your answer to the nearest h
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The value of y given the values of x and z in the question is -734.85

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a joint variation question.

First, we are made to know that y varies jointly as x and z.

The equation for this can be written as;

y = k * x * z

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Let’s calculate k first.

117 = k * (-3) * (-11)

33k = 117

K = 117/33 = 3.55

Now, we proceed to get what y is when x = -9 and z = 23

Let’s plug these values into the initial equation written.

y = k * x * z

We use the value of k calculated above;

y = 3.55 * (-9) * (23) = -734.85
