Twenty years​ ago, 51​% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not b

eing taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 278 of 800 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years​ ago? Use the alpha equals 0.05 level of significance.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

p = 51/100 = 0.51

For the alternative hypothesis,

P ≠ 0.51

Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.51

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.51 = 0.49

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of success = 278

n = number of samples = 800

P = 278/800 = 0.35

We would determine the test statistic which is the z score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.35 - 0.51)/√(0.51 × 0.49)/800 = - 9.05

Recall, population proportion, P = 0.45

The difference between sample proportion and population proportion(p - P) is 0.51 - 0.35 = 0.16

Since the curve is symmetrical and it is a two tailed test, the p for the left tail is 0.51 - 0.16 = 0.35

the p for the right tail is 0.51 + 0.16 = 0.67

These proportions are lower and higher than the null proportion. Thus, they are evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area

From the normal distribution table, the area below the test z score in the left tail is < 0.00001

We would double this area to include the area in the right tail of z = 9.05 Thus

p < 0.00001 × 2

p < 0.00002

Since alpha, 0.01 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, at 5% significance level, we can conclude that parents feel differently today than they did twenty years​ ago.

Erica and Amy started biking in the opposite directions at the same time from the same place. Erica biked at a speed of 6 meters
ipn [44]
Since they are moving in opposite directions, this is the same as Amy staying still and Erica biking at 10 meters per second away from her.

To travel 1km = 1000m at 10 meters per second, you need 1000/10 = 100 seconds.

Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π).
jekas [21]
First you must know that for remarkable angles: cos (0) = 1, cos (π) = - 1, cos (π / 2) = 0, cos (3π / 2) = 0, cos (2π) = 1. Then, by simple substitution in the given formula, you can find the solutions of x. Which for the interval [0, 2π) are: x = π, x = pi divided by two and x = three pi divided by two.Attached solution.

storchak [24]

Answer:

Expression that can be written in the box on the other side of the equation will be x

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side of equation is:

Simplifying the equation we get:

An equation has no solution when, we cannot find the value of x.

So, The order side of equation can be x

i.e,

So, expression that can be written in the box on the other side of the equation will be x
