Anyone who plays or watches sports has heard of the "home field advantage." Teams tend to win more often when they play at home.

Or do they? If there were no home field advantage, the home teams would win about half of all games played. During the 2010 season, the home team won 142 of the 250 regular-season football league games. At a 3% level of significance, is there strong evidence of a home field advantage in professional football?
Required:
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses in both words and math notation. Will you perform a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
b. Calculate the sample proportion. Is the sample proportion consistent with your alternative hypothesis?
c. Sketch the sampling distribution and label the mean, standard error, and the observed sample statistic. Calculate the test statistic. Is the test statistic unusual? Use the test statistic to find the P-value

Answer:

H0 : μ = 0.5

H0 : μ > 0.5

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 0.5

H0 : μ > 0.5

We perform a right tailed test :

Sample proportion :

Number of games won, x = 142

Number of games, n = 250

phat = x / n = 142 / 250 = 0.568 = 56.8%

Yes, it is consistent

Test statistic :

(phat - p) * √Phat(1-Phat)/n

1 -Phat = 1 -0.568 = 0.432

(0.568 - 0.5) /√(0.568*0.432)/250

0.068 / 0.0313289

= 2.17

The Pvalue using the z test statistic :

Pvalue = 0.015

α = 0.03

Since ;

Pvalue < α ; We reject the null and conclude that teams tend to win more often when they play at home.

Supposef(0) = 2 and 2 ≤ f '(x) ≤ 7for all x in the interval [−5, 5]. determine the greatest and least possible values of f(2).le
IgorC [24]

If the slope of the function is 2, the amount it can change over the interval 0–2 is

... 2×2 = 4 units

If the slope is 7, the amount it can change over the interval 0–2 is

... 2×7 = 14 units


The least possible value of f(2) is 2+4 = 6.

The greatest possible value of f(2) is 2+14 = 16.

Based on a study of population projections for 2000 to​ 2050, the projected population of a group of people​ (in millions) can b
Olegator [25]

Answer:

(a) 0.107 million per year

(b) 0.114 million per year

Step-by-step explanation:

A(t) = 11.19(1.009)^t

(a) The average rate of change between 2000 and 2014 is determined by dividing the difference in the populations in the two years by the number of years. In the year 2000, t=0 and in 2014, t=14. Mathematically,

\text{Rate}=\dfrac{A(2014) - A(2000)}{2014-2000}=\dfrac{11.19(1.009)^14-11.19(1.009)^0} {14}

A(0)=\dfrac{12.69-11.19}{14}=\dfrac{1.5}{14}=0.107

(b) The instantaneous rate of change is determined by finding the differential derivative at that year.

The result of differentiating functions of the firm y=a^x (where a is a constant) is \dfrac{dy}{dx}=a^x\ln a. Let's use in this in finding the derivative of A(t).

A\prime(t) = \dfrac{A}{t}=11.19\cdot1.009^t\ln1.009

In the year 2014, t=14.

A\prime(14) =11.19\cdot1.009^14\ln1.009=0.114
