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.

Furkat [3]
<span>The correct answer is $1452.50 per year.

Explanation:<span>
We use the formula
</span></span>P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}+PMT(\frac{[(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1]}{\frac{r}{n}})\times (1+\frac{r}{n}),<span><span>

where P is the amount of principal invested, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded, PMT is the monthly deposit added, and t is the number of years.

Since the amount of principal is not stated, we will assume that Bob is depositing the same amount every following year as he does the first year, so we will let PMT=P.

Our interest rate, r, is 4.2%; 4.2%=4.2/100=0.042.

The number of times the interest is compounded annually, n, is 1.
The amount of time, t, is 7.

We know he wants $50,000. This gives us the equation
50000=P(1+0.042/1)</span></span>⁽¹ˣ⁷⁾<span><span>+P{[(1+0.042/1)</span></span>⁽¹ˣ⁷⁾<span><span>]/(0.042/1)}*(1+0.042/1).

Simplifying this a bit, we have
50000=P(1.042)</span></span>⁷<span><span>+P((1.042</span></span>⁷<span><span>)/0.042)*(1.042).

We can factor out P, giving us
50000=P[1.042</span></span>⁷<span><span>+((1.042</span></span>⁷<span><span>)/0.042)*1.042].

This then gives us
50000=P(34.4234).

Divide both sides:
50000/34.4234 = (P(34.4234))/34.4234,

which gives us P=1452.50.</span></span>
