vor of him is significantly more than 50 percent. A random sample of 100 students was taken. Fifty-five of them favored Mike. At a 0.05 level of significance, it can be concluded that the proportion of the students in favor of Mike:
a.is significantly greater than 50 percent because 55 percent of the sample favored him.
b.is not significantly greater than 50 percent.
c.is significantly greater than 55 percent.
d.is not significantly different from 55 percent.

Answer:

We conclude that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly less than or equal to 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Mike runs for the president of the student government and is interested to know whether the proportion of the student body in favor of him is significantly more than 50 percent.

A random sample of 100 students was taken. Fifty-five of them favored Mike.

<em>Let p = </em><u><em>proportion of the students who are in favor of Mike.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 50%      {means that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly less than or equal to 50%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 50%      {means that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly more than 50%}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                        T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of students body in favor of Mike = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55

           n = sample of students taken = 100

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =   \frac{0.55-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.55(1-0.55)}{100} } }

                               =  1.01

The value of z test statistics is 1.01.

<em>Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.</em>

<em>Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of z as 1.01 < 1.645, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which </em><u><em>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of student body in favor of him is significantly less than or equal to 50% or proportion of the students in favor of Mike is not significantly greater than 50 percent.

A number pattern starts with 10 and follows the rule multiply by 3 What is true
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

B) They have a 0 in the ones place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number pattern that starts with 10.

Rule: Multiply by 3

Required

Select which statement is truth of the pattern.

First, the pattern needs to be listed out.

Given that the pattern starts from 10 and progresses by multiplying current term by 3.

The pattern is as follows;

10, 30, 90, 270, 810, 2430, 7290, .....

By comparing the given options with the above pattern of numbers. We have:

A) They are odd numbers.

This statement is false because the above pattern of numbers are all even and can never be odd

B) They have a 0 in the ones place.

This statement is truth because all the numbers in the above progression ends in 0. This 0 represents the unit of one's place.

Hence, this statement is truth.

C) They have a 3 in the tens place.

This statement is false;

This is so because they have different digits at tens place. The tens place is the digit prior to the last digit of each number.

D) They can be odd or ever numbers.

As pointed out in (A) above, the number can only be even number because the progression starts with an even number (10) and irrespective of what it's been multiplied by, it'll always remain an even number.

Hence,

Only option B is correct/truth.

Others are incorrect

CAN YOU HELP IN MATH<br>​
atroni [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain: set of x values

Range: set of y values

Function: no two x values are the same

Line 1:

Domain: {3, 4, 5}

Range: {1, 2, 3, 4}

Function: no since there are two points with x-coordinate 3

Line 2:

Domain: {-1, -2, 1, 2}

Range: {1, 3}

Function: yes since all x-coordinates are different

Line 3:

Domain: {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Range: {0, 1, 4}

Function: yes since all x-coordinates are different

An item is regularly priced at $80. Juan bought It at a discount of 20% off the regular price. How much did Juan pay?
Gnesinka [82]
Hello there! So, the item has a 20% discount, but Juan still had to pay 80% for the item. To find the amount he paid, all you have to do is multiply the price by the percentage. We multiply by 80%, because he still had to pay the portion of the price. 80 * 80% (0.8) is 64. The. Juan paid $64.
