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.

Dwayne buys ingredients to make a cake. He buys 1 1/2 pounds of flour, 12 ounces of coconut, and 1 1/4 pounds of sugar. What is
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

3.05 or 31/2 pounds

56 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total weight all the weights have to have the same units of measurements

It is either pounds is converted to ounces or ounces is converted to pounds

1. convert ounces to pound

1 ounce = 0.0625

12 ounces = 0.0625 x 12 = 0.75 pounds or 3/4

add together = 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1 1/4 = 1\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4}  + 1\frac{1}{4}

2\frac{2 +3 + 1}{4} = 2\frac{6}{4} = 3 1/2

2. 16 ounces = 1 pound

flour = 16 x 1 1/2 = 24

sugar = 16 x 1 1/4 = 20

total = 24 + 20 + 12 = 56 ounces

Write an equation in slope-intercept form from the linear inequality graphed in the picture.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

  • equation: y = x+3
  • inequality: y < x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so ...

  m = rise/run = 1/1 = 1

The y-intercept is 3 grid lines above the x-axis, so is (0, 3).

Then the equation of the line is ...

  y = 1x +3

The inequality has that line as a boundary, but the y-values on the line are not part of the solution space. Only y-values below the line (less than those on the line) are in the solution. The inequality is ...

  y < x +3

Find the inverse of g(x) = 3x^2 - 5
Lorico [155]

Answer:

x

=

√

y

+

5

3

Explanation:

To find the inverse of a function expressed as

XXX

y

=

an expression in

x

rearrange the expression into the form:

XXX

x

=

an expression in

y

Given

XXX

y

=

3

x

2

−

5

Switch sides and add

5

to both sides

XXX

3

x

2

=

y

+

5

Divide both sides by

3

XXX

x

2

=

y

+

5

3

Take the square root of both sides

XXX

x

=

±

√

y

+

5

3

Since we were asked for an inverse function, I've eliminated the non-primary root (a function can not have two values for a single argument value).

Therefore

XXX

x

=

instead of Y do G
