Suppose we wish to demonstrate that there is a difference between the proportions of wives and husbands who do laundry at home.

From a random sample of 66 randomly selected wives, we observe 44 who do laundry at home. From a random sample of 46 husbands, we observe 18 who do laundry at home. Test the claim that the proportion of wives, p 1 , who do laundry at home is different from the proportion of husbands, p 2 , who do laundry at home. Use a 1% significance level.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From this study:

The null hypothesis:

H_o : p_1 =p_2

The altenative is:

H_a : p_1 \ne p_2

This test is a two-tailed test.

However; we are told that the wives have 44 success out of 66, then the number of failures will be 22.

Then;

\hat p_1 = \dfrac{44}{66}

\hat p_1 = 0.6667

Similarly, the husbands have 18 success out of 46, then the number of failures will be 28

Then:

\hat p_2 = \dfrac{18}{46}

\hat p_2 = 0.3913

The pooled proportion p = \dfrac{18+44}{66+46}

p = \dfrac{62}{112}

p = 0.55357

The estimated standard error S.E is:

= \sqrt{\dfrac{ \bar p(1- \bar p)}{n_1} +\dfrac{ \bar p(1-\bar p)}{n_2}}

= \sqrt{ 0.55357(1-0.55357) \Big( \dfrac{1}{66} + \dfrac{1}{46} \Big)}

=\sqrt{ 0.55357(0.44643) \Big(0.01515 + 0.021739 \Big)}

=\sqrt{ 0.00911638798}

= 0.0955

The Z test statitics can now be computed as:

Z = \dfrac{ \hat p_1 - \hat p_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{ \bar p(1- \bar p)}{n_1} +\dfrac{ \bar p(1-\bar p)}{n_2}}}

Z = \dfrac{0.6667 -0.3913}{0.0955}

Z = 2.88

Th p -value from the test statistics is:

p-value = 2P(Z > 2.88)

p- value = 2 P (1 - Z < 2.88)

p-value = 2 ( 1 - 0.998)

p-value = 2 ( 0.002)

p -alue = 0.004

Decision Rule:

Thus, at 0.01 significance level, we reject the null hypothesis because, p-value is less than that (i.e. significance level)

Conclusion:

We conclude that there is a significant  difference between the proportions.

Each T-shirt that just tease produces cross $1.50 to me they sell their T-shirts for $15 at events what is the markup on the T-s
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: The markup on the T-shirts is $ 13.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Markup is the difference between the selling price of a product and cost price.

Given : The cost price of each t-shirt = $1.50

The selling price of each t-shirt = $15

Then ,the markup on the T-shirts =  (Selling price of each t-shirt) -( Cost price of each t-shirt)

i.e. The markup on the T-shirts = $15- $1.50= $ 13.50

Hence, the markup on the T-shirts is $ 13.50.
