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

There were 135 cars in a rally each driver paid a $25 fee to participate in the rally how much money did the drivers play in all
charle [14.2K]

Total numbers of cars present in the rally is  135

Amount paid by a single driver to participate in the rally = $25

Total amount generated by the participation fee from each driver is equal to the sum of amount paid by all the 135 cars.

Since we cannot add $25 for 135 times, we use multiplication operation.

Total amount = amount paid by one single driver multiplied by the total number of cars.

Total amount = 135 * 25 = 3375 $ .... Answer

A farmer feeds her four horses 64 bales of hay each week. How many bales of hay would the farmer need in order to feed six horse
jekas [21]

Answer:

96 bales

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{64}{4} = \frac{x}{6}

You must multiply 6 by 64, which is 384.

Then you divide that by 4, which is 96.

Therefore, the answer is 96.

Also, I lined up the bales in the same row and horses in the same row, so this way can help. It can also help if it's in the same column though, but I hope this helped you!

What is the rule for finding the vertex of a formula in Standard form? Use that rule to
worty [1.4K]

The vertex is the minimum or the maximum point of the parabola.

<em>x and f(x) represent the horizontal and the vertical coordinates of the vertex.</em>

<em />

The standard form of a parabola is

f(x) = ax^2 +bx + c

The x coordinate of the parabola is calculated using:

x  =-\frac{b}{2a}

The value of the x-coordinate is then plugged in, into the equation to calculate the y-coordinate, as follows:

f(\frac{b}{2a}) = a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2 + b(-\frac{b}{2a}) + c

At the end of the calculation,

x and f(x) represent the horizontal and the vertical coordinates of the vertex.

Take for instance:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x - 9

The x-coordinate of the vertex is:

x = -\frac b{2a}

x = -\frac 4{2 \times 2}

x = -\frac 44

x=-1

The y-coordinate is:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x - 9

f(-1) =2 \times (-1)^2 + 4 \times -1 - 9

f(-1) =-11

So, the vertex of f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x - 9 is (-1,11)

See attachment for illustration of vertex of f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x - 9
