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

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!!!

Answer:

  16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the points, you see they define a trapezoid with bases of lengths 2 and 6, and a height of 4. The area formula is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(2 +6)(4) = 16

The area of the trapezoid is 16 square units.

If you were to solve the following system by substitution, what would be the best variable to solve for and from what equation?2
aivan3 [116]

The second equation because they all have a common factor of 3. You can get x by itself. However, with the first one, you'll end up with fractions instead.

2. Saul invested an average of $425 per month since age 30 in various securities for his
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$507.30

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the monthly deposits are $425 and the interest rate is 3.5% for 30 years.

-The amount of the investment after 30 years is calculated as;

A=P(1+i/n)^n, n=time \ in \ months\\\\=425(1+0.035/12)^{30\times 12}\\\\=1212.65

-Assuming Saul started saving at age 20, his investment term will be 40 yrs.

-His investment amount is thus:

A=P(1+i/n)^n, n=time \ in \ months\\\\=425(1+0.035/12)^{40\times 12}\\\\=1719.95

#We subtract to find how much more he would have if he started saving at 20;

=A_{20}-A_{30}\\\\=1719.95-1212.65\\\\=507.30

Hence, Saul would have $507.30 more had he started saving 10 years earlier.
