Assume that 200 babies are born to 200 couples treated with the XSORT method of gender selection that is claimed to make girls m

ore likely. Preliminary results from a test of the XSORT method of gender selection involved 200 couples who gave birth to 115 girls and 85 boys. At significance level of 0.1, test whether the proportion of girl births after the treatment is greater than the 50% that occurs without any treatment (optional: show your work of the hypothesis testing in paper). Answer the next three questions
a. test statistic =
b. p-value =
c. What is your decision?

Answer:

a) test statistic = 2.12

b) p-value = 0.017

c) we reject the Null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

N = 200

girls (x) = 115 , Boys = 85

p = x / n = 115 / 200 = 0.575

significance level ( ∝ ) = 0.1

<em>aim : test whether the proportion of girls births after the treatment is greater than 50% that occurs without any treatment </em>.

<u>A) Determine the test statistic </u>

H0 : p = 0.5

Ha : p > 0.5

to determine the test statistic we will apply the z distribution at ( ∝ ) = 0.1

Z - test statistic = ( 0.575 - 0.5)  / \sqrt{0.5*0.5 / 200}  = 2.12

<u>b) determine the p-value</u>

The P-value can be determined using the normal standard table

P-value = 1 - p(Z< 2.12 )  =  1 - 0.9830 = 0.017

c) Given that the p value ( 0.017 ) < significance level ( 0.1 )

we will reject the H0 because there is evidence showing that proportion of girls birth is > 50%

The formula for the volume sphere is V=4/3pie r^3 what is the formula solved for r?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula of volume of a sphere we have to isolate "r" on one side of the equation i.e. we have to make "r" the subject of the equation.

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\\\ \text{Multiplying both sides by 3/4 we get}\\\\\frac{3V}{4} = \pi r^{3}\\\\ \text{Dividing both sides by } \pi \\\\ \frac{3V}{4 \pi} = r^{3}\\\\\text{Takeing cube root of both sides}\\\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}} = r

Therefore:

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}}

If x^2-x-6 and x^2+3x-18 hacpve a common factor (x-a) then find the value of a.​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor both expressions

x² - x - 6

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)

The factors are - 3 and + 2 , since

- 3 × 2 = - 6 and - 3 + 2 = - 1 , thus

x² - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2)

-----------------------------------

x² + 3x - 18

consider factors of constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 3)

The factors are + 6 and - 3 , since

6 × - 3 = - 18 and 6 - 3 = + 3 , thus

x² + 3x - 18 = (x + 6)(x - 3)

Both expressions have a common factor of (x - 3)

Compare with (x - a ), then a = 3
