What is the length of EF?

Since we are dealing with a proportion, it is determined by using the z-distribution that there is insufficient evidence to draw the conclusion that the proportion of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate has increased because the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test.

In this problem, we consider that:

$p_{1}$ is the proportion in 2014.

$p_{2}$ is the proportion is 2017.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, we test if there has been no increase, that is, the subtraction is of 0.

$H_{0}: p_{2}-p_{1}=0$

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there has been an increase, hence:

$H_{1}: p_{2}-p_{1} \neq 0$

<h3>What is the distribution of the difference of sample proportions?</h3>

The proportions and standard errors are given by:

$p_{1}=0.197, s_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{0.197(0.803)}{61}}=0.0509\\p_{2}=0.385, s_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.385(0.615)}{52}}=0.0675$

Hence, the distribution has mean and standard error given by:

$\bar{p}=p_{2}-p_{1}=0.0675-0.0509=0.0166\\s=\sqrt{s_{1}^{2}+s_{2}^{2}}=\sqrt{0.0509^{2}+0.0675^{2}}=0.0845$

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

It is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar{p}-p}{s}$

In which p = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis, hence:

$z=\frac{0.0166}{0.0845}\\$z=0.2$$

<h3>What is the decision?</h3>

Considering a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, the critical value is of $z^{*}=1.645$

There is insufficient information to establish that the fraction of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate has increased because the test statistic is smaller than the crucial value for the right-tailed test.

A county fair charges $9.00 for admission and $2.50 per ride. If Latisha spent $49 on admission and rides, how many rides did La

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Latisha rode 16 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at picture attached. Have a blessed night!

Just slope intercept formula (y=mx+b). X represents the number of rides so you will need to myltiply that by $2.50. $9 is a one time fee so that would be of the b of the equation. That all equals the total Latisha piaid, $49. Then solve like so.
