In August 2003, 56% of employed adults in the United States reported that basic mathematical skills were critical or very import

ant to their job. The supervisor of the job placement office at a 4-year college thinks this percentage has increased due to increased use of technology in the workplace. He takes a random sample of 30 employed adults and finds that 21 of them feel that basic mathematical skills are critical or very important to their job.
Required:
Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of employed adults who feel basic mathematical skills are critical or very important to their job has increased at the a = 0.05 level of significance?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose that nothing has changed, and possibility p is still 0.56. It's our null hypothesis. Now, we've got Bernoulli distribution, but 30 is big enough to consider Gaussian distribution instead.

It has mean μ= np =  30×0.56=16.8

standard deviation s = √npq

sqrt(30×0.56×(1-0.56)) = 2.71

So 21 is (21-16.8)/2.71 = 1.5494 standard deviations above the mean. So the level increased with a ˜ 0.005 level of significance, and there is sufficient evidence.

HELP .-. A painter bought 16 gallons of paint, just to cover two rooms. One room is twice the size of the other room and require
givi [52]
The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y. 
                                   3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
                                    x = 2y
Solving the equation,
                                      3(2y) + 2y = 16
                                               y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons. 
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.

Marcelino bought balloons to sell at lunches to raise money for charity
Arada [10]

Answer:

<u>Marcelino will have $7.50: his costs are more than his profits. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

22.50 + 7.50 + 15.00

In total Marcelino spent $45 to make these balloons.

He wants to sell each balloon for $1.25.

If he sells the 30 balloons he bought for $1.25 he will make:

30 * 1.25 = $37.50... okay he made some money, BUT he spent $45 dollars for the items.

45 - 37.50 = $7.50, Marcelino made no profit... he still needs to make $7.50 to pay off his own costs.

There is a 50% probability.

First add up all of the sections to get a total.

10 Green + 15 Purple + 2 Blue + 3 Red = 30.

There are 15 purple out of 30.

15/30 = 1/2 probability, which is 50%.
