Assume, for the sake of this question, that the data were collected through a well-designed, well-implemented random sampling me

thod. The marketing department of a widget manufacturer collected potential consumer preference data regarding a proposed widget upgrade. Three hundred thirty-eight of 575 respondents reported preferring the proposed new widget. The widget manufacturing company had established a threshold of 60% preferring the proposed new widget to move forward with producing the new widgets. At a .10 level of significance, was the threshold probably met

Answer:

Since the pvalue of the test is 0.2743 > 0.1, the threshold probably was met.

Step-by-step explanation:

The widget manufacturing company had established a threshold of 60% preferring the proposed new widget to move forward with producing the new widgets.

This means that at the null hypothesis we test if the proportion is at least 60%, that is:

H_{0}: p \geq 0.6

And the alternate hypothesis is:

H_{a}: p < 0.6

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.6 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that:

\mu = 0.6

\sigma = \sqrt{0.6*0.4}

Three hundred thirty-eight of 575 respondents reported preferring the proposed new widget.

This means that n = 575, X = \frac{338}{575} = 0.5878

Value of the test-statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.5878 - 0.6}{\frac{\sqrt{0.6*0.4}}{\sqrt{575}}}

z = -0.6

Pvalue of the test and decision:

We want to find the probability of a proportion of 0.5878 or lower, which is the pvalue of z = -0.6.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743.

Since 0.2743 > 0.1, the threshold probably was met.

Is the square root of 225 a rational number?
MArishka [77]

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The principal square root}:\\\\\sqrt{a}=b\iff a^2=b\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\ \text{and}\ b\geq0.\\\\\text{The square root:}\\\\\sqrt{a}=b\iff b^2=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\===================

\text{If you want the principal square root (arithmetic square root):}\\\\\sqrt{225}=15\ \text{because}\ 15^2=225\\\\\text{If you want square root (algebraic square root):}\\\\\sqrt{225}=\pm15\ \text{because}\ (-15)^2=225\ \text{and}\ 15^2=225

Last year a banquet hall charged $65 per person to attend a function. The function C(p) = 65p represents the total cost, C, to r
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Domain = [0, 50]

Range   = [0, 3250]

Step-by-step explanation:

A function shows the relationship between two variables (independent variable and dependent variable). The independent variable is a variable not dependent on any variable, it is the input of the function while the dependent variable is a variable dependent on other variable, it is the output of the function.

The domain of a function is the set of all input variables (independent variable) and the range of a function is the set of all output variables (dependent variables).

In the function C(p) = 65p, p is the independent variable and C(p) is the dependent variable.

Since the hall can hold a total of 50 people, the domain of the function = [0, 50]

C(0) = 65(0) = 0, C(50) = 65(50) = 3250

Hence, the range of the function = [0, 3250]

F(x) = 3x + 6. Find the inverse of f(x).
Levart [38]

Answer:

\tt C) \:\tt f^{-1}(x)=\cfrac{x-6}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given,

\tt f(x) = 3x + 6

~

\tt y=3x+6

\tt x=3y+6

\tt x-6=3y

\tt y=\cfrac{x-6}{3}

\tt f^{-1}(x)=\cfrac{x-6}{3}
