A recent article reported that a job awaits only one in three new college graduates. The major reasons given were an overabundan

ce of college graduates and a weak economy. A survey of 200 recent graduates from your school revealed that 80 students had jobs. At the 0.01 significance level, can we conclude that a larger proportion of students at your school have jobs?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.4 -0.33}{\sqrt{\frac{0.33(1-0.33)}{200}}}=2.105  

p_v =P(z>2.105)=0.018  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of students that had job at the school mentioned is not significantly higher then 0.33 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=200 represent the random sample taken

X=80 represent the number of students that had jobs

\hat p=\frac{80}{200}=0.4 estimated proportion of students that had jobs

p_o=0.3333 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of students that have jobs at the school mentioned is higher than the reported value at the article:  

Null hypothesis: p\leq 0.33  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.33  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

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

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.4 -0.33}{\sqrt{\frac{0.33(1-0.33)}{200}}}=2.105  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.01. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.105)=0.018  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 1% of significance the proportion of students that had job at the school mentioned is not significantly higher then 0.33 .

Step-by-step explanation:

No she is not correct because we dont have only one angle angle G is 90.

So we can easily find the angle D

A. write the equation of the line of best fit
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a. y = (3/5)× x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx+c

m = (13-4)/(20-5) = 9/15 = 3/5

c= 1

so, y= mx+c becomes y= (3/5) × x +1
