In the book Essentials of Marketing Research, William R. Dillon, Thomas J. Madden, and Neil H. Firtle discuss a research proposa

l in which a telephone company wants to determine whether the appeal of a new security system varies between homeowners and renters. Independent samples of 140 homeowners and 60 renters are randomly selected. Each respondent views a TV pilot in which a test ad for the new security system is embedded twice. Afterward, each respondent is interviewed to find out whether he or she would purchase the security system.
Results show that 25 out of the 140 homeowners definitely would buy the security system, while 9 out of the 60 renters definitely would buy the system.

Letting p1 be the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system, and letting p2 be the proportion of renters who would buy the security system, set up the null and alternative hypotheses needed to determine whether the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system differs from the proportion of renters who would buy the security system.

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

X_{1}=25 represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

X_{2}=9 represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

n_{1}=140 sample 1

n_{2}=60 sample 2

p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179 represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15 represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17  

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha, but we can calculate the p value for this test.    

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

  a)  21

Step-by-step explanation:

If the columns are labeled a, b, c, d left to right, it appears that we have ...

  \sqrt{a}\times(b-c)=d\\\\\sqrt{49}\times(10-7)=21

The value of M is 21.

Questions like this require that you try different combinations of operations on the numbers shown to see if you can find a relationship. Here, the left column is a perfect square, so that is a clue. The difference of the numbers in the middle columns is a factor of the number in the right column -- another clue. It takes a certain amount of creative thought and familiarity with arithmetic facts. There is no "step-by-step" for a problem like this.

Write the inequality shown by the shaded area
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: y≤ \frac{7}{3}x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the equation, all we have to do is to fix the inequality. We have four options: <, >, ≤, and ≥. The line in the graph is a solid line. This means the line reaches and is equal to the points on the line. We can automatically eliminate ≤ and ≥. Now, we know the answer is ≤. The shading shows that the answer is less than 7/3x+2. In other words, y≤ \frac{7}{3} x+2.
