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.

5x-y=1/4 intercept form
MAVERICK [17]
5x - y = 1/4; this equation is written in slope - intercept form

Slope - Intercept form formula: y = mx + b

-Move '5x' to the left side of the equation
-Move 'y' to the right side of the equation

y = 5x - 1/4

What is the slope of y-4=5/2(x-2)
OLEGan [10]
The answer is 5/2. The equation is already in point slope form. If you recall, the equation for point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) where y1 and x1 are points on the graph, and m is the slope. In the given equation, m is 5/2 so we know it is the slope.
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the point slope for equation, you can manipulate the equation to the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the constant. If you solve for y, you get y=5/2x-1 since 5/2 is in the place of m, we know 5/2 is the slope.

isaac has a piece of rope that is 5 yards long. into how many 1/2 yard pieces of rope can isaac cut the rope
marusya05 [52]
What you have to do is figure out how many half inches you need to have to figure out how many half inches equal 5 yards. Therefore if there are 12 inches in a foot, then that would be 24 half inches. So..... three feet equal 1 yards. So multiply 3 by 24. 3x24=72 so you would need 72 half inches
