In June 2005, a CBS News/NY Times poll asked a random sample of 1,111 U.S. adults the following question: "What do you think is

the most important problem facing this country today?" Roughly 19% of those sampled answered "the war in Iraq" (while the rest answered economy/jobs, terrorism, healthcare, etc.).
Exactly a year prior to this poll, in June of 2004, it was estimated that roughly 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults believed (at that time) that the war in Iraq was the most important problem facing the country. We would like to test whether the 2005 poll provides significant evidence that the proportion of U.S. adults who believe that the war in Iraq is the most important problem facing the U.S. has decreased since the prior poll.

What are the appropriate hypotheses in this case?

Answer:

The appropriate null hypothesis is H_0: p = 0.25

The appropriate alternative hypothesis is H_1: p < 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly a year prior to this poll, in June of 2004, it was estimated that roughly 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults believed (at that time) that the war in Iraq was the most important problem facing the country.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still the same, that is, of \frac{1}{4} = 0.25. So

H_0: p = 0.25

We would like to test whether the 2005 poll provides significant evidence that the proportion of U.S. adults who believe that the war in Iraq is the most important problem facing the U.S. has decreased since the prior poll.

Decreased, so at the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion is less than 0.25, that is:

H_1: p < 0.25

Its middle school math i need help
skad [1K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2 = x+11

Subtract x from each side

4x+2-x = x+11-x

3x+2 =11

Subtract 2 from each side

3x+2-2 =11-2

3x = 9

Divide by 3

3x/3 =9/3

x = 3

3+(4+5) = ( 3+4 ) +5.THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ---------OF WHOLE
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is clearly addition, so we can rule out B and C. Associative property is the movement of the parentheses, whereas commutative property is the movement or reorganization of the numbers. The parentheses moved in this problem, so it is associative. I suggest reviewing these properites, they come in handy later and are good to know :)
