A market research analyst claims that 32% of the people who visit the mall actually make a purchase. You think that less than 32

% buy something and decide to test the claim. You stand by the exit door of the mall starting at noon and ask 82 people as they are leaving whether they bought anything. You find that only 20 people made a purchase. The value of the test statistic is about:
A. 1.74
B. 1.60
C. 1.48
D. -1.60
E. -1.48

Answer:

E. -1.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the expected value, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

A market research analyst claims that 32% of the people who visit the mall actually make a purchase.

This means that:

\mu = 0.32

\sigma = \sqrt{0.32*0.68} = 0.4665

You stand by the exit door of the mall starting at noon and ask 82 people as they are leaving whether they bought anything. You find that only 20 people made a purchase.

This means that n = 82, X = \frac{20}{82} = 0.2439

The value of the test statistic is about:

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

t = \frac{0.2439 - 0.32}{\frac{0.4665}{\sqrt{82}}}

t = -1.48

So the correct answer is given by option E.

What's the answer for number 2??
FromTheMoon [43]
Well if there are 3 outcomes just add the two other outcomes and subtract from 1 

so 0.4+0.25=0.35 

so the third outcomes has a 0.35 chance of happening or 35%

The height of a small rise in a roller coaster track is modeled by () = −. + . + . , where x is the distance in feet from a supp
Reika [66]

Answer:

Maximum height is 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The complete question is as follows:

" The height of a small rise in a roller coaster track is modeled by f(x) = –0.07x^2 + 0.42x + 6.37, where x is the distance in feet from a supported at ground level.

Find the greatest height of the rise "

- To find any turning points ( minimum or maximum ) points of a trajectory expressed as function of independent parameter, we find the critical points of the trajectory where the first derivative of the dependent variable w.rt independent variable is set to zero.

- In our case the height of the roller coaster track (y) is function of the distance (x) from a supported pole at ground level.

                    f(x) = –0.07x^2 + 0.42x + 6.37

- Now set the first derivative equal to zero, and determine the critical values of x:

                    0 =  -0.14x + 0.42

                    x = 0.42 / 0.14 = 3 ft

- The critical value for the coaster track is at point 3 feet away from the supported pole at ground level. So the height f(x) at x = 3 ft, would be:

                    f ( x = 3 ) = max height

                    max height =  –0.07*3^2 + 0.42*3 + 6.37

                                        = 7 ft

In terms of communication, information is expressed either as the content of a message or through direct or indirect observation. That which is perceived can be construed as a message in its own right, and in that sense, information is always conveyed as the content of a message.

Information can be encoded into various forms for transmission and interpretation (for example, information may be encoded into a sequence of signs, or transmitted via a signal). It can also be encrypted for safe storage and communication.
