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.

How do you factor a polynomial when one root has been given
zloy xaker [14]
So first what you are going to do is divide synthetically your root aka factor into your given equation. Then you are going to kind of guess ands check to find the other factor by synthetically dividing what you have left which should be
x^2 +2x +1 by -5, 5 (to make sure there is no multiplicity), 1, and -1 until you get zero in your remainder spot. The number you used to divide will be your other root.

Trig help please, 2 questions, 10 pts
Scrat [10]
1. 2700 degrees. 450 rotations in on minute is 450(360) degrees per minute. If you divide this by 60 you get 2700. 
2. 180 degrees. 4.3 rotations per minute is 4.3 times 360 degrees per minute. Multiply that times 5, and divide the answer by 360 and you get 21.5, which means he is 180 degrees from his starting point.
