In a previous​ year, 58​% of females aged 15 and older lived alone. A sociologist tests whether this percentage is different tod

ay by conducting a random sample of 600 females aged 15 and older and finds that 339 are living alone. Is there sufficient evidence at the alphaequals0.01 level of significance to conclude the proportion has​ changed?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.565 -0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{600}}}=-0.744  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be given by:  

p_v =2*P(z  

And since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion is not significantly different from 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=600 represent the random sample selcted

X=339 represent the number of females aged 15 and older that living alone

\hat p=\frac{339}{600}=0.565 estimated proportion of females aged 15 and older that living alone

p_o=0.58 is the value that we want to check

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_ represent the p value

Sytem of hypothesis

We want to check if the true proportion females aged 15 and older that living alone is significantly different from 0.58.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.58  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.58  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.565 -0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{600}}}=-0.744  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be given by:  

p_v =2*P(z  

And since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion is not significantly different from 0.58

Answer:

  17.  5

  18.  17

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used for the purpose.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

__

17. d = √((3-6)² +(1-5)²) = √((-3)² +(-4)²) = √(9+16) = √25 = 5

The distance between the points is 5 units.

__

18. d = √((-1-7)² +(12-(-3))²) = √(64 +225) = √289 = 17

The distance between the points is 17 units.

The length of a model car is 1/20 of the length of the actual car. If the model. is 8.7 inch long, how long is the actual car? E
madam [21]
This means that if the model is 1 in lengh then th ereal car is 20 times of that or 20 in legnth

so to find the answer, just multiply model by 20
8.7 =model
real=8.7 times 20=174
real car is 174 inches

12 inches=1 foot
conversion factor
1 ft/12in=1=convesion

so
174 times 1/12=14 and 6/12

the answer is 14 feet and 6 inches or 14.5 feet
