For a large supermarket chain in a particularâ state, aâ women's group claimed that female employees were passed over for manage

ment training in favor of their male colleagues. The company denied thisâ claim, saying it picked the employees from the eligible pool at random to receive this training.â Statewide, the large pool of more than 100 eligible employees who can be tapped for management training is 40â% female and 60â% male. Since this programâ began, 35 of the 50 employees chosen for management training were male and 15 were female.
Complete parts (a) and (b).
(a) Is there sufficient evidence to support the women's claim?
(b) Compute a 95% confidence interval and write your conclusions.

Answer:

1) As the P-value (0.097) is greater 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 women's claim that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

2) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.173, 0.427).

The populations proportion (π=0.4) is included in this confidence interval, so the claim has no enough evidence to be supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

We use the women's part for sample and population proportions.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.4\\\\H_a:\pi

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=50 persons.

The sample proportion is p=0.3.

p=X/n=15/50=0.3

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.4*0.6}{50}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0048}=0.069

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.3-0.4+0.5/50}{0.069}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.069}=-1.299

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.097) is greater 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 female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

b) We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.3.

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3*0.7}{50}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0042}=0.0648

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0648=0.127

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.3-0.127=0.173\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.3+0.127=0.427

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.173, 0.427).

The populations proportion (π=0.4) is included in this confidence interval, so the claim has no enough evidence to be supported.

jeka94
First, we need to think about what we're actually solving for: the area of the path. To find this, we can find the area of the whole thing, minus the area of the pool.

The diagram would look something like the picture I attached. We know that to find the area of a circle, you do πr^2. The radius is half of the diameter, so halve the diameters:

22/2 = 11 yards
32/2 = 16 yards

Then solve for the area of both circles.
π11^{2}= 121π ≈ <span>380.13 (area of the pool)</span>
π16^{2}= 256π ≈ <span>804.25 (area of the whole thing)
</span>
Next, subtract the area of the pool from the area of the whole thing to find the area of the walkway:
804.25 - 380.13 = 424.12 (area of the walkway)

Finally, divide the area of the walkway by 6 to see how many gallons of paint you'll need:

424.12 ÷ 6 ≈ 70.69

So you'll need 71 gallons of paint!

Hope I helped and let me know if you have any questions :)

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

16/21 dresses

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 · k hours: 4/7 · k dresses for any constant k

If we want 1 hour, then k will need to be 4/3

4/3 × 4/3 hours: 4/7 × 4/3

1 hour = 16/21 dresses
