Answer:

a. 1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We are interested in determining whether or not the proportion of the population in favor of Candidate A is significantly more than 40%.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion is of at most 40%, that is:

H_0: p \leq 0.4

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion is of more than 40%, that is:

H_1: p > 0.4

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that p = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}

A random sample of 200 people was taken. 90 of the people in the sample favored Candidate A.

This means that:

n = 200, X = \frac{90}{200} = 0.45

Value of the test statistic:

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

z = \frac{0.45 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{200}}}

z = 1.44

Thus the correct answer is given by option a.

Scorpion4ik [409]
To answer this, we let x some factor that would agree or make the ratio given true. We calculate as follows:

<span>2:3:4
2x:3x:4x

2x = 12
x = 6 

Therefore, the length of the longest side would be 4x = 4(6) = 24 cm, third option.</span>
