A publisher reports that 55% of their readers own a laptop. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is

actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 280 found that 51% of the readers owned a laptop. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level.

Answer:

We fail to reject the null hypothesis, we accept H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Population proportion        p₀   =  55 %    p₀   =  0,55

Sample  size         n  =  280

Sample mean     p =  51 %            p =  0,51       q = 0,49

n*p   and  n*q   are both bigger than 10 therefore we can approximate the binomial distribution to a normal distribution

Test  Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                             H₀                   p   =  p₀

Alternative Hypothesis                Hₐ                    p   ≠  p₀

Significance level is  α  = 0,05    but we have a two-tail test then

α/2  =  0,025

z(c)  =  - 1,96

Computing  z(s)

z(s)  =  ( p - p₀ ) / √(p*q)/n

z(s)  =  ( 0,51 - 0,55 ) / √(0,51*0,49)/280

z(s)  =  - 0,04 * 16,73 / 0,5

z(s)  =  -  1,34

Comparing

z(s)   and z(c)

- 1,34    <    - 1,96

| z(s) | < | z(c)|

Then z(s) is in the acceptance region,  we accept H₀

Consider that ΔDEF is similar to ΔGHI and the measure of ∠E is 58°. What is the measure of ∠H?
spayn [35]

Answer:

58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If figures are similar to each other, it means that they have the same measures. Therefore, D has the same measure as G, E has the same measure as H, and F has the same measure as I.

Wewaii [24]

Answer: 0.0667117 * 10^{6} miles

Step-by-step explanation: The Earth is one astronomical unit from the sun i.e.1AU= 93 million miles.The angular speed of the Earth traveling around the sun is approximately 0.9863 degrees per day. If we assume the orbit of the Earth is completely circular, what is the linear speed in miles per hour?

Step-by-step explanation: First, a day has 24 hours. Knowing how far the earth travels in day we can say:

0,9863 degrees/day = 0,9863 degrees/(24 hours)

0,9863 degrees/day = 0.0411 degrees/hours

Also, we know the orbit completely circular, so the total distance on, degrees, is 360°. Also this distance can be know with the formula:

Total Circuference = 360° = 2*pi* R

Because Radius is variable for any circle. It is say that:

360° = 2*pi radians

WIth this relation, we can know how many radians are 0.0411 degrees

360/0.0411  =  (2*pi)/x

x = (2*pi*0.0411)/(360)

X = 0.00071733032

X is how much the Earth travels per hour in Radians.

Multiplying per Radius:

Earth distance traveled per hour = 0.0667117 * 10^{6} miles
