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.

If one gallon is the same amount as 4 quarts, how many quarts are in 5 gallons?
wlad13 [49]
If one gallon = 4 quarts
Then 5 gallons = x quarts

To solve this we can set up a porportion

1/4 = 5/x

To solve the porportion we need to find the rule so how to we get to 4 from 1? Well we can multiply 1 by 4 to get one right?

So if this is true, 1 x 4 = 4 then 5 x 4 must equal x

5 x 4 = 20 so the answer would be 20 quarts are in 5 gallons

Another way to look at this is that you have 5 gallons and in each gallon is 4 quarts to if there is 4 quarts in every one gallon then that’s just 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 or 5 x 4

I hope this helps! <3
