Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let 1 and 2 be the subscript for the adults who think that the U.S. government is doing too little to protect the environment presently and the adults who think that the U.S. government is doing too little to protect the environment 10 years ago. The population proportions would be p1 and p2 respectively.

p1 - p2 = difference in the proportion of adults who think that the U.S. government is doing too little to protect the environment presently and the adults who think that the U.S. government is doing too little to protect the environment 10 years ago.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : p1 = p2

p1 - p2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : p1 ≠ p2

p1 - p2 ≠ 0

it is a two tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success

n represents number of samples

For the present,

x1 = 580

n1 = 1066

p1 = 580/1066 = 0.54

For 10 years ago,

x2 = 514

n2 = 1038

P2 = 514/1038 = 0.5

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

pc = (580 + 514)/(1066 + 1038) = 0.52

1 - pc = 1 - 0.52 = 0.48

z = (p1 - p2)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

z = (0.54 - 0.5)/√(0.52)(0.48)(1/1066 + 1/1038) = 0.04/0.02178551744

z = 1.84

Since it is a two tailed test, the curve is symmetrical. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area

From the normal distribution table, the area above the test z score in the right tail 1 - 0.967 = 0.033

We would double this area to include the area in the left tail of z = - 1.84 Thus

p = 0.033 × 2 = 0.066

Alpha = 0.1

Since alpha, 0.1 > p value 0.066, we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, at a = 0.10, we can reject the

claim that the proportion of U.S. adults who think that the U.S. government

is doing too little to protect the environment has not changed.

I need to work out x
frutty [35]

Answer:

9,765 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll solve out the measurements for triangle ABC then it will be easy to figure out x

For triangle ABC, we have

Angle B = 90 degrees.

Angle A (CAB) = 38 degrees (the angle CAD is 19 and is said to be half of CAB, since the line AD is a bisector).

Angle C = 180 - 90 - 38 = 52 degrees.

To find the measurement of the BC line, which we label a, we know that

\frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{c}{sin(c)}

So, we can isolate the a to get:

a = \frac{c * sin(A)}{sin(c)} = \frac{25 * sin(38)}{sin(52)} = 19.53

Now we know the segment BC is 19.53 cm.

And we know that segments CD and DB are equal, since AD is a bisector, cutting the CAB angle in half.

So, CD is half of BC.... so 19.53 / 2 = 9.765 cm

Help me plz its algebra 1
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

C. x > -7 and x <= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 < x + 4 <= 7

Subtract 4 from the three expressions.

-7 < x <= 3

-7 < x means x > -7.

Then you have x <= 3.

Answer: C. x > -7 and x <= 3
