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.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

A fence for a rectangular garden with one side against an existing wall is constructed by using 60 feet of fencing.

Perimeter of rectangle (3 sides)= 60 feet

Let 'x' be the width of the wall

Perimeter = 2(length)+2(width)\\60=2(length)+2x\\\\60-2x=2(length)\\\frac{60-2x}{2} =length\\Length =30-x

Formula for the area of the rectangle is

Area=length \cdot width\\A=length(x)

Replace the length we got using perimeter

A=(30-x)(x)\\A(x)= 30x-x^2

To find out the maximum are we take derivative

A'(x)= 30-2x\\0=30-2x\\-30=-2x\\x=15

find out second derivative to check whether x=15 is maximum

A''(x)=-2

second derivative is negative

So, Maximum area at x=15

To find maximum area we plug in 15 for x in A(x)

A(x)=30x-x^2\\A(15)=30(15)-15^2\\A(15)=225

So, maximum area is 225 square feet
