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).

If the tax rate on homes in Topeka, Kansas is 1.8 percent of their value and Bonnie owns a $100,000 house, how much will the rea
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual Real Estate Tax Rate =1.8%

Value of Bonnie's House = $100,000

Annual Tax= 1.8 % × $100,000 =0.018 × $100,000 = $1,800

Therefore, tax payment on a monthly basis

= $1,800÷12 Months

= $150 per month.

Real estate tax will add $150 per month to Bonnie's mortgage payment.

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

36.87°

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(A)/a = sin(C)/c

sin(x)/3 = sin(90)/5

sin(x)/3 = 0.2

sin(x) = 0.6

x= sin^-1(0.6)

x = 36.86989765

Lin opened a lemonade stand during the summer. She
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

59 cups ;

10 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that he fitted model :

c = 2t - 89

Where, c = cups of lemonade sold ; t = high temperature

On a day when high temperature is 74 degrees ; cups of lemonade sold

Hence,

c = 2t - 89

c = 2(74) - 89

c = 148 - 89

c = 59 cups

Sunday is expected to be 5 degree warmer than on Saturday :

The number of cups sold on Sunday using the fitted model should be :

Difference in temperature between Saturday and Sunday multiplied by the slope value

Slope value from the model = 2

Temperature difference = 5

Difference in Number of cups :

2 * 5 = 10 cups

Number of lemonade sold on Sunday will be 10 cups more than that sold on Saturday
