Answer:

x = 12√2, y = 12, z = 12√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Left side triangle is 45 degree and right side triangle is 30-60-90 degree

45 degree triangle:

a = b, c = a√2

30-60-90 degree triangle:

a : b : c = 1 : √3 : 2

Side opposite to 30° angle is half the hypotenuse, this side is same as y:

y = 1/2*24 = 12

Hypotenuse of 45° triangle is √2 time the side:

x = 12√2

Back to 30°-60°-90° triangle:

z = 12√3

At the beginning of an environmental study, a forest covered an area of 1500km^2. Since then, the area has decreased by 6.3% eac

geniusboy [140]

The correct answer is:

$y=1500(0.937)^t$

Explanation:

An exponential function is of the form

$y=a\times b^x$ , where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.

For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.

The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063. Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.

We use t as the number of years.

This gives us

$y=1500(0.937)^t$

Write an equation and solve. Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary. 19 is what percent of 40?

snow_lady [41]

You first divide 40 by 19:

19/40=?

Then you convert that to percentage by dropping the decimal point and attaching a %

(hint: you should get 48% about :)

A national survey conducted in 2011 among a simple random sample of 1,507 adults shows that 56% of Americans think the Civil War

Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) $z=4.658$

$p_v =P(z>4.65)=1-P(z$

b) Using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion of Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life is higher than 50%.

c) The 90% confidence interval would be given (0.527;0.593).

We are confident that about 54% to 59% of all Americans think the Civil War is relevant.

Step-by-step explanation:

I )Part a

1) Data given and notation

n=1507 represent the random sample taken

X represent the Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life

$\hat p$ estimated proportion of Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life in the sample

$p_o=0.5$ is the value that we want to test since the problem says majority

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

p= population proportion of Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life exceeds 50%(Majority). :

Null Hypothesis: $p \leq 0.5$

Alternative Hypothesis: $p >0.5$

We assume that the proportion follows a normal distribution.

This is a one tail upper test for the proportion of union membership.

The One-Sample Proportion Test is "used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly (different,higher or less) from a hypothesized value $p_o$ ".

Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.

b) The sample needs to be large enough

$np_o =1507*0.5=753.5>10$

$n(1-p_o)=1507*(1-0.5)=753.5>10$

3) Calculate the statistic

The statistic is calculated with the following formula:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o(1-p_o)}{n}}}$

On this case the value of $p_o=0.5$ is the value that we are testing and n = 1507.

$z=\frac{0.56 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1507}}}=4.658$

The p value for the test would be:

$p_v =P(z>4.65)=1-P(z$

II) Part b

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

Based on the alternative hypothesis the p value would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>4.65)=1-P(z$

Using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion of Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life is higher than 50%.

III) Part c

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2=0.05$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.56 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{1507}}=0.527$

$0.56 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{1507}}=0.593$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.527;0.593).

We are confident that about 54% to 59% of all Americans think the Civil War is relevant.

And this result agrees with the result of part b, since the interval not contains the value of 0.5 we can conclude that the proportion of Americans who thinks that the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life it's higher than 0.5 at 90% of confidence.
