The authors of a paper concluded that more boys than girls listen to music at high volumes. This conclusion was based on data fr

om independent random samples of 768 boys and 745 girls from a country, age 12 to 19. Of the boys, 397 reported that they almost always listen to music at a high volume setting. Of the girls, 331 reported listening to music at a high volume setting.
Do the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls? Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.01 significance level. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μboys − μgirls. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the null and alternate hypothesis be

H0:  μboys − μgirls > 0

against the claim

Ha: μboys − μgirls ≤ 0

2) The significance level is set at 0.01

3) The critical region is z  ≤  ± 1.28

4) The test statistic

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

Here p1= 397/768= 0.5169  and p2= 331/745=0.4429

pc = 397+331/768+745

pc= 0.4811

qc= 1-pc= 1-0.4811=0.5188

5) Calculations

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

z= 0.5169-0.4429/√ 0.4811*0.5188( 1/768+  1/745)

z= 2.82

6) Conclusion

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

7)

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

if twice the opposite of a number us increased by 5, the result is the opposite of the number. What is the number?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

If twice the opposite of a number increased by five, then the result is the opposite of a number.    

The asiest way to solve this is the guess and check method. It is asking you what a number doubled then by adding five is the opposite of that number. Now go through a few SINGLE digit numbers to try and solve. I hope this helps.

Paul needs 3 7/8 yards of fabric to make a tablecloth. How many tableclothes can he make from 38 3/4 yard of fabric
Leviafan [203]
First turn them into improper fractions to make things easier: 31/8 and 155/4.
You would then do 155/4 divided by 31/8, and with the same-change-flip, do 155/4 times 8/31, which is 10

alekssr [168]

Answer:

A - 84°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an arc is equal to the measure of the central angle that intersects it.

The central angle of this circle measures 84° and it intercepts arc AB, meaning arc AB measures 84°
