Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.4966 > 0.05, which means that we cannot conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that there is a difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

To US and Canada:

37 overweight out of 256. So

$p_1 = \frac{37}{256} = 0.1445, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1445*0.8555}{256}} = 0.022$

Europe:

41 overweight out of 246. So

$p_2 = \frac{41}{246} = 0.1667, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1667*0.8333}{246}} = 0.0238$

Test if there is a difference between the proportion of all items on English Air flights to the U.S. and Canada which are overweight (p1) and the proportion of all items on English Air flights within Europe which are overweight (p2):

At the null hypothesis, we test if there is no difference, that is, if the subtraction of the proportions is 0.

$H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0$

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if there is difference, that is, if the subtraction of the null hypothesis is different of 0.

$H_1: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0$

From the two samples:

$X = p_1 - p_2 = 0.1445 - 0.1667 = -0.0222$

$s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.022^2 + 0.0238^2} = 0.0324$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$z = \frac{-0.0222 - 0}{0.0324}$

$z = -0.68$

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of the sample proportion differing from 0 by at least 0.0222, which is P(|z| > 0.68), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -0.68.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.68 has a p-value of 0.2483

0.2483*2 = 0.4966

The p-value of the test is 0.4966 > 0.05, which means that we cannot conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that there is a difference.

Please help

djverab [1.8K]

Given:
Principal = 2,500
rate = 3.5%
term = 6 years

Simple interest = Pricipal x rate x term
S.I. = 2500 x 3.5% x 6
= 87.50 x 6
S.I. = 525.00 CHOICE C.

Suzanne will earn an interest of $87.50 per year and a total of $525 interest at the end of 6 years.

of the 60 students in the seventh grade, 70% own a pet. how many of the seventh-grade students own a pet?

nadya68 [22]

To get 70% of 60, you multiply 0.7 by 60 to get 42, so 42 students own a pet
