A poll finds that 54% of the 600 people polled favor the incumbent. Shortly after the poll is taken, it is disclosed that the in

cumbent had an extramarital affair. A new poll finds that 50% of the 1030 polled now favor the incumbent. We want to know if support for the incumbent has decreased. What is the test statistic

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that polled in favor of the incumbent has decreased significantly (P-value=0.06).

Test statistic z=1.56.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion that polled in favor of the incumbent has decreased significantly.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (old poll), of size n1=600 has a proportion of p1=0.54.

The sample 2 (new poll), of size n2=1030 has a proportion of p2=0.5.

 

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.04.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.54-0.5=0.04

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{324+515}{600+1030}=\dfrac{839}{1630}=0.5147

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5147*0.4853}{600}+\dfrac{0.5147*0.4853}{1030}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.0004+0.0002}=\sqrt{0.0007}=0.0257

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.04-0}{0.0257}=\dfrac{0.04}{0.0257}=1.56

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

\text{P-value}=P(z>1.56)=0.06

As the P-value (0.06) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion that polled in favor of the incumbent has decreased significantly.

If x = 10, y = 5, and z = 11, what is the tangent ratio for g°?
loris [4]

Please, find attached the image with the complete question

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{tan(g\º )=2}}

Explanation:

The triangle ACB is a right triangle with these features:

  • x represents the opposite side to the angle g
  • y represents the adjacent side to the angle g

The <em>tangent ratio </em>on an angle in a right triangle is equal to the length of the leg opposite to the angle divided by the length of the leg adjacent to the angle.

Hence:

           tangent(g\º )=x/y=10/5=2\leftarrow answer

Please help :( really stuck on this and don’t understand please attempt to do it .

Answer) That graph is not a function
Explanation) The graph that you provided is not a function. It does not pass the vertical line test. The vertical line test is when you draw a vertical line (l) at any point on the graph and it should touch 1 or less parts of the graph. If you put the line at x=1, the vertical line only touches the graph at (1,8.5) but if you put the line at x=5, it touches (5,1) and (5,8.5) so it does not pass the test. You should be able to put the line anywhere and have it touch ONLY 1 point. There cannot be multiple of the same x values.
