It is claimed that the proportion of people who favor the use of oxygenated fuels year around to reduce air pollution is 60%. A

pollster believes this proportion to be actually higher than 60%. She polls a random sample of 500 registered voters and finds out that 315 of them favor the use of oxygenated fuels. At level of significance 0.09, what is her conclusion?

Answer:

Conclusion is that there is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the proportion of people who favor the use of oxygenated fuels year around to reduce air pollution is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Population proportion; p = 60% = 0.6

Sample mean: x¯ = 315

Sample size; n = 500

Significance level = 0.09

Defining the hypothesis, we have;

Null Hypothesis; H0: p = 0.6

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: p > 0.6

z-score formula in this case is;

z = (x¯ - np)/√(np(1 - p))

Plugging in the relevant values;

z = (315 - (500 × 0.6))/√(500 × 0.6(1 - 0.6))

z = 1.72

From z-distribution table, the p-value at z = 1.72 is;

1 - P(Z ≤ z-score)

This gives:

p-value = 1 - 0.95728 = 0.04272

Thus p-value is less than the significance level of 0.09, thus we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the proportion of people who favor the use of oxygenated fuels year around to reduce air pollution is 60%.

What is the answer in simplest term?
Burka [1]

Answer:

3*sqrt(3x)

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

2x

Step-by-step explanation:

To rationalize the denominator, we need to get rid of the square root.  We need to multiply by sqrt(12x)/sqrt(12x)

9              sqrt(12x)

----------  * -----------

sqrt(12x)      sqrt(12x)

9sqrt(12x)

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

12x

We can cancel  3 in the top and bottom

3sqrt(12x)

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

4x

We also notice that 12 is made up of 4 and 3

3sqrt(4) sqrt(3x)

In the figure, angle B measures 44°, angle A measures 62°, and angle E measures 50°.
Gre4nikov [31]
We don't need the figure
angle b = 44 degrees
angle a = 62 degrees
angle e = 50 degrees
angle f = unknown
we know that 
angle a + b + e + f = 180 degrees
50 + 44 + 62 + f =180 degrees
f= 180-50-44-62
but here there is only one blank so we have to add 44 and 62 to make one number that is 106
therefore, f = 180-50-106
if you further want to solve it angle f is 24
