The owner of a small pet supply store wants to open a second store in another city, but he only wants to do so if more than one-

third of the city's households have pets (otherwise there won't be enough business). He samples 150 of the households and finds that 64 have pets.
Define the appropriate parameter(s) and state the hypotheses for testing if this sample provides evidence that more than one-third of households in this city own pets.

Answer:

The answer is "The null hypothesis was rejected".

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are the right-tailed test:

Calculating the null and alternative hypothesis:

H_0 : p = 0.3333\\\\H_a : p > 0.3333\\\\n = 150\\\\x = 64\\\\\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{64}{150} = 0.4267\\\\P_0 = 0.3333\\\\1 - P_0 = 1 - 0.3333 = 0.6667\\\\

z = \frac{\hat{p} - P_0}{[\sqrt{\frac{P_0 \times (1 - P_0 )}{n}}]}

   = \frac{0.4267 - 0.3333}{[\sqrt{\frac{(0.3333 \times 0.6667)}{150}}]}\\\\= 2.426

Calculating the right-tailed test:

P(z > 2.426) = 1 - P(z < 2.426) = 1 - 0.9924 = 0.0076\\\\P-value = 0.0076\\\\\alpha = 0.05\\\\P-value < \alpha

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

This example shows that more than a third of the families own pets in this town.

What is the solution to this system of equations?
amm1812

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) x+2y=4

(ii) x=4-2y

(iii) 2x-2y=5  

substituting (ii) in (iii)

2x-2y=5

2(4-2y)-2y=5

8-4y-2y=5

-6y=5-8

-6y=-3

(iv) y=\frac{1}{2}              

substituting (iv) in (ii)

x=4-2y

x=4-2×\frac{1}{2}

x=4-1

x=3

∴ B.(3,\frac{1}{2})

measure larger triangle=scale factor*measure smaller triangle

for the leg in the smaller triangle equal to 5
measure larger triangle=1.5*5-----> 7.5

the answer is
