Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Worked out on paper shown below
Also I recommended a online app called (it has wierd name but it’s helpful for algebra) mathpapa
Also I do math in pen so the last answer is messed up it’s 4c^2d and then the rest of the parentheses.Sorry for that.
Answer: There are 4 male goats.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that n of the 10 goats are male.
The probability that in a random selection, the selected goat is a male, is equal to the quotient between the number of male goats (n) and the total number of goats (10)
The probability is;
p = n/10
Now the total number of goats is 9, and the number of male goats is n -1
then the probability of selecting a male goat again is:
q = (n-1)/9
The joint probability (the probability that the two selected goats are male) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is
P = p*q = (n/10)*((n-1)/9)
And we know that this probability is equal to 2/15
Then we have:
(n/10)*((n-1)/9) = 2/15
(n*(n-1))/90 = 2/15
n*(n-1) = 90*2/15 = 12
n^2 - n = 12
n^2 - n - 12 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, we can find the solutions if we use Bhaskara's formula:
For an equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
The two solutions are given by:
For our case, the solutions will be:
The two solutions are:
n = (1 - 7)/2 = -3 (this solution does not make sense, we can not have a negative number of goats)
The other solution is:
n = (1 + 7)/2 = 4
This solution does make sense, this means that we have 4 male goats.
Answer:
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.36 so then we need to conduct a two tailed test, the system of hypothesis are.:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation n
n represent the random sample taken
estimated proportion of interest
is the value that we want to test
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value (variable of interest)
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.36 so then we need to conduct a two tailed test, the system of hypothesis are.:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:
(1)
The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value .
Calculate the statistic
For this case the statistic is given:
Statistical decision
It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.
The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.
Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:
