The angles with measures 5x + 15 and 115 are corresponding angles.
For lines a and b to be parallel, those angles must be congruent.

5x + 15 = 115

5x = 100

x = 20

5x+15=115
subtract 15 from both sides
5x=100
divide both sides by 5
x=20

There are mangoes and oranges in a basket in the ratio 7: 11. If the total number of fruits is 720, then how many mangoes are th

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

280 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 11 = 18 parts

Divide the total by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

720 ÷ 18 = 40 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

7 × 40 = 280 ← number of mangoes

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) For this case the value of the significanceis $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , we need a value on the normal standard distribution thataccumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} =1.96$

If the calculated statistic $|z_{calc}| >1.96$ we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance

b) Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{170+110}{200+150}=0.8$

c) $z=\frac{0.85-0.733}{\sqrt{0.8(1-0.8)(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{150})}}=2.708$

d) Since the calculated value satisfy this condition 2.708>1.96 we have enough evidence at 5% of significance that we have a significant difference between the two proportions analyzed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$X_{1}=170$ represent the number of people with the characteristic 1

$X_{2}=110$ represent the number of people with the characteristic 2

$n_{1}=200$ sample 1 selected

$n_{2}=150$ sample 2 selected

$p_{1}=\frac{170}{200}=0.85$ represent the proportion estimated for the sample 1

$p_{2}=\frac{110}{150}=0.733$ represent the proportion estimated for the sample 2

$\hat p$ represent the pooled estimate of p

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level given

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if is there is a difference between the two proportions, 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)

a.State the decision rule.

For this case the value of the significanceis $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , we need a value on the normal standard distribution thataccumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:

$z_{\alpha/2} =1.96$

If the calculated statistic $|z_{calc}| >1.96$ we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance

b. Compute the pooled proportion.

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{170+110}{200+150}=0.8$

c. Compute the value of the test statistic.

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

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

$z=\frac{0.85-0.733}{\sqrt{0.8(1-0.8)(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{150})}}=2.708$

d. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?

Since the calculated value satisfy this condition 2.708>1.96 we have enough evidence at 5% of significance that we have a significant difference between the two proportions analyzed.
