To investigate the relationship between age and preference for two mayoral candidates in an upcoming election, a random sample o

f city residents was surveyed. The residents were asked which candidate they preferred, and each resident was classified into one of three age-groups. The test statistic for the appropriate hypothesis test was 3.7408. Approximately what is the probability that the observed responses would be as far or farther from the expected responses if there is no association between age-group and preference?
A. 0.0001
B. 0.1541
C. 0.2908
D. 0.5873
E. 0.7117

Answer:

A. 0.0001

Step-by-step explanation:

z-statistic:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

The value of the z-statistic is z = 3.74.

The desired probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = 3.74.

z = 3.74 has a pvalue of 0.9999

Then

1 - 0.9999 = 0.0001.

So the correct answer is given by option A.

Graph the function. For the function whose graph is shown below, which is the correct formula for the function? y = –x – 1 y = x
rusak2 [61]
You forgot to mention the graph.
So, I make the graph of both given functions and you will compare your graph with them.

First, y= -x-1  
put y=0 you get point (-1,0) called x-intercept
put x=0 you get point (0,-1) called y-intercept
join both the points, you will get the graph
Graph is attached in the picture.

Second, y= x+1
put y=0 you get point (-1,0) called x-intercept
put x=0 you get point (0,1) called y-intercept
join both the points, you will get the graph
Graph is attached in the picture.

In a journey of 15 miles, two third distance was travelled with 40 mph and remaining with 60 mph. How much time does the journey
Ad libitum [116K]

The first step in solving this question is to split the journey into 2 parts. In the first part of the journey, \frac{2}{3} \times 15 = 10 miles are covered at a speed of 40 mph. In the second part the journey 5 miles are covered at a speed of 60 mph.

The equation to compute the time of a journey  given the speed and distance is t=\frac{d}{s} where t is the time, s is the speed and d is the distance.

The time for the first part of the journey is calculated as shown below,

t=\frac{d}{t} \\t=\frac{10m}{40mph} =\frac{10}{40} h.

The time for the second part of the journey is calculated as follows,

t=\frac{d}{t} \\t=\frac{5m}{60mph} =\frac{5}{60} h.

The total time is the sum of the times taken to cover each part of the journey and is calculated as shown below,

t=\frac{10}{40} h+\frac{5}{60} =\frac{30+10}{120} h=\frac{40}{120}h =\frac{1}{3} h

The time to cover the journey is a third of an hour or 20 minutes.

The mean height of women in a country​ (ages 20minus​29) is 64.2 inches. A random sample of 75 women in this age group is select
padilas [110]

Answer:

z=\frac{65-64.2}{\frac{2.84}{\sqrt{75}}} = 2.440

And we can find the probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table like this:

P(Z>2.440) =1-P(Z

The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches is 0.007

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the women heights of a population, and we know the following parameters

\mu=64.2 and \sigma=2.84

We are interested on this probability

P(X>65)

Since the sample size selected is 75>30 we can use the centrel limit theorem and the appropiate formula to use would be the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

If we find the z score for 65 inches we got:

z=\frac{65-64.2}{\frac{2.84}{\sqrt{75}}} = 2.440

And we can find the probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table like this:

P(Z>2.440) =1-P(Z

The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches is 0.007
