The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 800 voters i

n the town and found that 34 % of
the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than

30%. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than  30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p \leq 0.3

Alternative hypothesis p >0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem:

n= 800 the random sample of voters selected from the town

\hat p = 0.34 represent the proportion of residents favored construction

p_o = 0.30 represent the value desired to test.

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than  30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p \leq 0.3

Alternative hypothesis p >0.3

And in order to test this hypothesis we can use a one sample z test for a population proportion and the statistic would be given by:

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

And with the data given we have:

z=\frac{0.34 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{800}}}=2.469

I need help solving this problem |5x - 1| < 1
VashaNatasha [74]

Imagine what the graph would look like. Does it open upwards or downwards?

5x - 1 has a positive slope of 5 and it is reflected horizontally. The graph would be shaped like a V. A limited segment, or none, of the graph is below a certain value of y, and the rest outside it is above.

Hence, the solution must be a < x < b.

|5x - 1| < 1

5x - 1 < 1

x < 2/5

|5x - 1| < 1

5x - 1 > -1

x > 0

0 < x < 2/5

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation 1/4(x+5)^2-1=3
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

either x = -1, or x = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

given   \frac{1}{4} (x+5)^{2} -1=3

add one to both sides   \frac{1}{4} (x+5)^{2} =4

im not sure which one comes first. either you multiply both the x and the 5 in the parenthesis by \frac{1}{4}. or you square x and 5

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :   1/4*(x+5)^2-(4)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           1 /4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1                  

 (— • (x + 5)2) -  4  = 0  

  4                  

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (x + 5)2    

 ———————— -  4  = 0  

    4        

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

        4         4 • 4

   4 =  —  =  ———

        1            4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(x+5)2 - (4 • 4)     x2 + 10x + 9

———————     ———————  =  ——

       4                        4      

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.3     Factoring  x2 + 10x + 9  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +10x  its coefficient is  10 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +9  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 9 = 9  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  9  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   10 .

     -9    +    -1    =    -10  

     -3    +    -3    =    -6  

     -1    +    -9    =    -10  

     1    +    9    =    10    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  1  and  9  

                    x2 + 1x + 9x + 9

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x+1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   9 • (x+1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+9)  •  (x+1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 (x + 9) • (x + 1)

 —————————————————  = 0  

         4        

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 (x+9)•(x+1)

 ——————————— • 4 = 0 • 4

      4      

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  (x+9)  •  (x+1)  = 0

Theory - Roots of a product :

4.2    A product of several terms equals zero.  

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.  

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately  

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product  

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3      Solve  :    x+9 = 0  

Subtract  9  from both sides of the equation :  

                     x = -9

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.4      Solve  :    x+1 = 0  

Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation :  

                     x = -1

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly

Solving    x2+10x+9  = 0   directly  

Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

I’m so confused so can you help me
Lelu [443]
45²

This says "forty five squared"

Try saying it aloud, it may help to hear it :)

This basically just means to multiply 45 by itself twice.

So, what's 45 times 45? 

Its 2025!

Hope I helped! :)
