A survey of 340 randomly chosen US adults found that 60% of the 150 men and 50% of the 190 women ran a five-kilometer race durin

g the past month. Do these data provide statistical evidence at the α = 0.05 level that women are less likely than men to run a five-kilometer race? Be sure to state the parameter, check conditions, perform calculations, and make conclusion(s). (10 points)

Answer:

The p-value is less than the significance level, so we will reject the null hypothesis, and conclude that at 5% significance level, the proportion for women that ran 5 km is more than the proportion of male that ran the 5 km. Thus, women are more likely to run the 5 km race.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Number of males selected; n₁ = 150

Number of females selected; n₂ = 190

Proportion of the males; p₁ = 0.6

Proportion of females; p₂ = 0.5

Let's define the hypotheses;

Null hypothesis; H0: p₁ ≥ p₂

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: p₁ < p₂

Now, the z score formula for this is;

z = (p₁ - p₂)/√(p^(1 - p^))(1/n₁ + 1/n₂))

Where;

p^ = (p₁ + p₂)/2

p^ = (0.6 + 0.5)/2

p^ = 0.55

Thus;

z = (0.6 - 0.5)/√(0.55(1 - 0.55))((1/150) + (1/190))

z = 0.1/0.0543

z = 1.84

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached, using z = 1.84, significance level = 0.05, one tailed hypothesis, we have;

P-value = 0.033

The p-value is less than the significance level, so we will reject the null hypothesis, and conclude that at 5% significance level, the proportion for women that ran 5 km is more than the proportion of male that ran the 5 km. Thus, women are more likely to run the 5 km race.

Although if we check at 0.01 significance level, we will not have the same answer as the p-value will be greater.

A) The person that has a greater probability of selecting a quadrilateral is Robert.

B) The person that has a greater probability of selecting a polygon is; Robert.

C) The event that is more likely to happen is the Probability of Sandy selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel.

<h3>How to Identify Polygons?</h3>

Sandy has; Square, Rhombus, Equilateral Triangle, Regular Hexagon

Robert has Scalene Triangle, Kite, Right Isosceles Triangle, Isosceles Trapezoid, Quadrilateral.

A) Sandy's probability of selecting a quadrilateral = 2/4 = 0.5

Robert's probability of selecting a quadrilateral = 3/5 = 0.6

The person that has a greater probability of selecting a quadrilateral is Robert

B) The person that has a greater probability of selecting a polygon is; Robert because he has more.

C) Probability of Sandy selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel is; 3/4 = 0.75

The Probability of Robert selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel is; 2/5 = 0.4

The event that is more likely to happen is the Probability of Sandy selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel.

Tom is buying topsoil for the flower bed shown below. One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters. How many bags of topsoil does
____ [38]

Answer:

We need 4 topsoils

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information that is the area of the flower bed, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

The flower bed is a triangle with its height is 5 cm and the base length is 12 cm, so we need to find out the area of it:

  • S = Height*the base length = 5 * 12 = 60 m^{2}  

So the bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed is:

\frac{Area of the flower bed}{The area of the topsoil } = \frac{60}{15} = 4

We need 4 topsoils
