To estimate the proportion of brand-name lightbulbs that are defective, a simple random sample of 400 brand-name lightbulbs is t

aken and 44 are found to be defective. Let X represent the number of brand-name lightbulbs that are defective in a sample of 400, and let PXrepresent the proportion of all brand-name lightbulbs that are defective. It is reasonable to assume that X is a binomial random variable.
Requried:
One condition for obtaining an interval estimate for Px is that the distribution of Px is approximately normal. Is it reasonable to assume that the condition is met?

Answer:

X is a binomial random variable

Then the condition is met

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size   n₁  = 400

X represents the number of brand-name lightbulbs)

P(X) = 44/400

P(X) = 0,11

X  is a binomial random variable it only could be either no defective or defective ( only two conditions or values).

To make use of the condition of approximation of binomial distribution to a normal distribution it is required that the products:

p*n  =  0,11*400  =  44      and    q  =  1  - 0,11   q =  0,89

q*n  =  0,89 * 400  =  356

both  p*n  q*n  are greater than 5.

Then the condition is met

How do you multiply a mixed fraction by a regular fraction
Dmitriy789 [7]

Well, you first have to make the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. You then multiply the two fractions and ad the whole number into the total.

That's how i was taught back in the 4th grade... i'm not sure if it's correct but i hope it is-

In the book Essentials of Marketing Research, William R. Dillon, Thomas J. Madden, and Neil H. Firtle discuss a research proposa
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

X_{1}=25 represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

X_{2}=9 represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

n_{1}=140 sample 1

n_{2}=60 sample 2

p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179 represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15 represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17  

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha, but we can calculate the p value for this test.    

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

On a number line what is the distance between -12 and 20
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The distance is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

One way is to subtract -12 and 20, which equals 32.

Another way is to add 12 and 20 since distance on a number line is always positive, which equals 32.
