A national poll reported that 58% of those with Internet access have made purchases online. To investigate whether this percenta

ge applies to its own state, a legislator commissions a study. A random sample of 400 state residents who have Internet access is taken. Of those 400 respondents, 215 said that they have made purchases online. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the state differs from the nation with respect to making purchases online? Suppose the significance level is 0.05.

Answer:

Null Hypothesis is accepted

Conclusion : proportion of people with internet access having made online purchase = 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let proportion of people with internet access having made online purchase = x

Null Hypothesis [H0] : x = 58% = 0.58

Alternate Hypothesis [H1] : x ≠ 58% ≠ 0.58

Observed x proportion (mean) : x' = 215 / 400 = 0.5375

z statistic = [ x' - x ]  / √ [ { x ( 1-x ) } / n ]

( 0.5375 - 0.58 ) /  √ [ 0.58 (0.42) / 400 ]

= -0.0425 / √ 0.000609

= -0.0425  / 0.02467

z = - 1.72

Since calculated value of z, 1.72 < tabulated value of z at 0.05 significance level, 1.96

So, we accept the null hypothesis & conclude that x = 58%

Law Incorporation [45]

Option C

Math teacher would need to buy 130 prizes

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Math teacher currently has 109 students and the box has 88 prizes in it

The math teacher likes to keep at least twice as many prizes in the box as she has students

So, she wants the number of prizes to be twice the number of students

Therefore,

number of prizes = 2 x 109 students

number of prizes = 2 x 109 = 218 prizes

The box has 88 prizes in it

Therefore, number of prizes she would need to buy is:

⇒ 218 - 88 = 130

Thus she would need to buy 130 prizes
