A food distributor is being sued for racial discrimination because 12% of newly hired candidates are not white when 53% of all a

pplicants were not white. You plan to use hypothesis testing to determine whether there is significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The null hypothesis would be that the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is not significantly different from the proportion of the applicants that are not white & there is no significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

Mathematically,

H₀: μ₀ = 0.53

And the alternative hypothesis would be that there is a significant difference between the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is not significantly different from the proportion of the applicants that are not white. More specifically, that the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is significantly less than the proportion of applicants that are not white & there is significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are indeed discriminatory.

Mathematically,

Hₐ: μ₀ < 0.53

B) The two errors that can come up in this hypothesis testing include -

Type I error: We reject the null hypothesis because we obtain that the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is significantly less than the proportion of applicants that are not white and conclude that there is indeed significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory when in reality, there is no significant difference and hence, no discrimination.

Type II error: We accept the null hypothesis (fail to reject the null hypothesis) because we obtained that there is no significant difference between the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white & th proportion of applicants that are not white and conclude that there is no discrimination in the company's hiring practices when in reality, there is significant difference in the stated proportions above and significant evidence that there is indeed significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

C) The power of the test increases as the significance level reduces. This is because t-statistic increases as significance level reduces.

D) The standard error of the mean used in computing the t-score is given as

σₓ = (σ/√n)

It is evident that as the value of n increases, the standard error reduces and this widens the effect of the test, hence, the power of the test increases.

Hope this Helps!!!

A farmer raises only ducks and pigs. There are 55 animals in all on his farm, and 146 legs.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of ducks

y be the number of pigs

According to given statement;

x+y=55     Eqn 1

2x+4y=146     Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(x+y=55)

2x+2y=110    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110

2x+4y-2x-2y=36

2y=36

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{36}{2}\\y=18

Putting y=18 in Eqn 1

x+18=55

x = 55-18

x = 37

Hence,

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi
timama [110]

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is  97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet

Similarly:

x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet

The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = 31\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Width = 17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet
