A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is chang

ing over time. Suppose that in February 2012, a sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. In February 2010, a sample of 1,100 adults showed 385 indicating that their financial security was more than fair.
Required:
a. State the hypothesis that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years?
b. What is the sample proportion indicating that their financial security was more that fair in 2012?In 2010?
c. Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value.At a .05 level of significance what is your conclusion?
d. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportion?

Answer:

The calculated z = 2.85 falls in the critical region z > 1.96 so we accept the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the population proportions for the two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p1 be the sample of 1000 adults chosen in 2012 and

p2 be the sample of 1100 adults chosen in 2010

<u>Part a:</u>

The hypothesis that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years is:

H0: p1-p2= 0           against the claim      Ha: p1-p2≠0

<u>Part b:</u>

The sample proportion indicating that their financial security was more that fair in 2012 is

p1^= 410/1000= 0.41

In 2010 is:

p2^= 385/1100= 0.35

<u>Part c:</u>

p^c= 410+385/1000+1100= 0.3785

q^c= 1-p^c= 1-0.3785= 0.6124

The critical region is z > ±1.96

The test statistic is

z= p1^- p2^ / sqrt ( p^cq^c( 1/n1+ 1/n2)

z= 0.41-0.35 /sqrt( 0.3785*0.6124(1/1000 +1/1100)

z=  0.06 / 0.021036

z= 2.85

Conclusion

The calculated z = 2.85 falls in the critical region z > 1.96 so we accept the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the population proportions for the two years.

P- value :  0.00466

The result is significant( accept the null hypothesis) for  value less than 0.05

<u>Part d:</u>

                                                     2012                         2010

Sample                                       1000                           1100

Proportions                               0.41                             0.35

Standard Error               √0.41( 0.59)/1000        √0.35( 0.65)/1100

                                               = 0.0155                0.01438

Standard Error for the difference = √0.0155² + 0.01438² =0.0211

p1-p2 ± z* standard error for the difference

0.41-0.35 ± 1.96 *( 0.0211)

0.06 ± 0.041356

-0.018644,   0.101356

The 95 % confidence interval estimate is (-0.018644,   0.10135

in the figures below the cube shaped box is 6 inches wide and the rectangular box is 10 inches long 4 inches wide and 4 inches h
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>The cube’s sides measures 6 inches and the measurement for the rectangular box is that it is 10 inches long, 4 inches thick and 4 inches high. To compute for the volume of a cube you must use the formula of V = a3 and for the rectangular prism is V = l x w x h.</span>
<span>Cube:    V = 6^3
</span>              <span>V = 216 inches^3</span>
<span>Rectangular Prism:       V = 10 x 4 x 4</span> <span>             
                                       V = 160 inches^3</span>
To identify how much greater the volume the cube from the rectangular box we subtract their volumes.
N = C – R where N stands for the unknown C for the volume of cube and R for the volume of Rectangular Box <span>
N = 216 inches^3 – 160 inches^3
</span> <span>N = 56 inches^3</span> <span>
So the cube is 56 inches3 greater than the rectangular box.</span>

GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF, and HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ. What is the length of HK?
loris [4]

Answer:

Option B) 4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of n

we know that

a) GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF

then

G is the midpoint segment DF and J is the midpoint segment EF

DG=GF and EJ=JF

b) HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ

then

H is the midpoint segment GF and K is the midpoint segment JF

GH=HF and JK=KF

In this problem we have

HF=7 cm

so

GH=7 cm

GF=GH+HF ----> by addition segment postulate

GF=7+7=14 cm

Remember that

DG=GF

substitute the given values

2n-1=14

solve for n

2n=14+1

2n=15

n=7.5\ cm

step 2

Find the length of GJ

we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

so

GJ=\frac{1}{2}DE

we have

GE=2n+1=2(7.5)+1=16\ cm

substitute

GJ=\frac{1}{2}16=8\ cm

step 3

Find the length of HK

we have that

HK=\frac{1}{2}GJ ----> by the midpoint theorem

we have

GJ=8\ cm

substitute

HK=\frac{1}{2}8=4\ cm
