A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is chang

ing over time. A recent sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Suppose that just a year before, a sample of 1,200 adults showed 420 indicating that their financial security was more than fair.
Required:
a. State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years.
b. Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?
c. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions?
d. What is your conclusion?

Answer:

b) Then z(s) is in the rejection region for H₀. We reject H₀. The p-value is smaller than α/2

c)CI 95 %  =  ( 0.00002 ;  0.09998)

Step-by-step explanation: In both cases, the size of the samples are big enough to make use of the approximation of normality of the difference of the proportions.

Recent Sample

Sample size    n₁  =  1000

Number of events of people with financial fitness more than fair

x₁  =  410

p₁ =  410/ 1000  =  0.4     then q₁ = 1 - p₁    q₁ =  1 -  0.4    q₁  = 0.6

Sample a year ago

Sample size    n₂ =  1200

Number of events of people with financial fitness more than fair

x₂  =  420

p₂  =  420/1200     p₂ = 0.35   q₂  =  1 - p₂    q₂  = 1 - 0.35   q₂ = 0.65

Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                                  H₀              p₁  =  p₂

Alternative Hypothesis                      Hₐ              p₁  ≠  p₂

CI  95 % then significance level  α  =  5%   α  = 0.05    α/2  = 0.025

To calculate p-value:

SE  =  √ (p₁*q₁)/n₁  +  (p₂*q₂)/n₂

SE  =  √ 0.4*0.6/1000 +  0.65*0.35/1200

SE  =  √ 0.00024 + 0.000189

SE = 0.021

z(s) =  ( p₁ - p₂ ) / SE

z(s) = ( 0.4 - 0.35 )/0.021

z(s) = 0.05/ 0.021

z(s) =  2.38

We find p-value from z-table to be   p-value = 0.00842

Comparing

p-value with  α/2   = 0.025

α/2 >  p-value  

Then z(s) is in the rejection region for H₀. We reject H₀

CI 95 %  =  ( p₁  -  p₂ )  ±  2.38*SE

CI 95 %  =  ( 0.05 ± 2.38*0.021 )

CI 95 %  =  ( 0.05 ± 0.04998)

CI 95 %  =  ( 0.00002 ;  0.09998)

CI 95 % does not contain the 0 value affirming what the hypothesis Test already demonstrate

A test is used to assess readiness for college. In a recent​ year, the mean test score was 20.3 and the standard deviation was 4
Vlada [557]

Answer:

\mu = 20.3

\sigma = 4.9

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

Low\leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5

High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

For this case we can consider a value to be significantly low if we have that the z  score is lower or equal to - 2 and we can consider a value to be significantly high if its z score is  higher tor equal to 2.

For this case we have the mean and the deviation given:

\mu = 20.3

\sigma = 4.9

And we can find the limits in order to consider values as significantly low and high like this:

Low \leq \mu -2 \sigma= 20.3- 2*4.9 = 10.5

High\geq \mu +2 \sigma= 20.3+ 2*4.9 = 30.1

B = 3m + 2p<br> Work out the value of p when B= 2 and m = 5
GarryVolchara [31]

This is called a "substitution problem" is where you have variable that have defined values and plug them in value calculate the expression.

B = 3m + 2p # Starting equation

2 = (3)(5) + 2p # Substitution

2 = 15 + 2p # Multiplication

-13 = 2p # Subtract 15 from both sides

\frac{-13}{2} = p # Divide both sides from 2

p = \frac{-13}{2} # Use the reflexive property of equality

Hope this helps!
