<u>Answer:</u>

6. 6.75
7. 27
8. 92/17
9. 49

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>- Question 6 -</u>

9/16 = x/12
=> 16x = 12 x 9
=> 16x = 108
=> x = 6.75

Hence, <u>the value of x in this proportion is 6.75.</u>

<u>- Question 7 -</u>

-3 + x/18 = 12/9
=> -3/18 + x/18 = 4/3
=> x/18 = 4/3 + 1/6
=> x/18 = 8/6 + 1/6
=> x/18 = 9/6
=> x = 9/6 x 18
=> x = 27

Hence, <u>the value of x is 27</u>

<u>- Question 8 -</u>

17/15 = 10/2x - 2

=> 17(2x - 2) = 150

=> 34x - 34 = 150

=> 34x = 184

=> x = 184/34

=> x = 92/17

Hence, <u>the value of x is 92/17</u>

<u>- Question 9 -</u>

x - 16/x + 6 = 3/5
=> 5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6)
=> 5x - 80 = 3x + 18
=> 2x = 98
=> x = 49

Hence, <u>the value of x is 49.</u>

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a U.S. government agency, 17.3% of 8th graders in 2010 had used marijuana at

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The conditions for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportion are not met. He should increase the sample size until the conditions are met.

If the test is done anyway, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

The conclusion is taht there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the percentage is lower in this district.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions for use of the normal model to represent the distribution of sample proportion are not met, as the affirmative responses are less than 10.

$np=80*0.1=8$

If the test of hypothesis is done as if the conditiones were met, we know that the claim is that the percentage is lower in this district.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi=0.173\\\\H_a:\pi$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=80.

The sample proportion is p=0.1.

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.173*0.827}{80}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001788}=0.042$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.1-0.173+0.5/80}{0.042}=\dfrac{-0.067}{0.042}=-1.578$

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

$P-value=P(z$

As the P-value (0.057) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the percentage is lower in this district.

A random sample of size 100 was taken from a population. A 94% confidence interval to estimate the mean of the population was co

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The z value was determined using a normal distribution table. From the normal distribution table, the corresponding z value for a 94% confidence interval is 1.88

The correct option is D

2) if 70% of all internet users experience e-mail fraud. It means that probability of success, p

p = 70/100 = 0.7

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

n = number of selected users = 50

Mean, u = np = 50×0.7 = 35

Standard deviation, u = √npq = √50×0.7×0.3 = 3.24

x = number of internet users

The formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

We want to determine the probability that no more than 25 were victims of e-mail fraud. It is expressed as

P(x lesser than or equal to 25)

The z value will be

z = (25- 35)/3.24 = - 10/3.24 = -3.09

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.001

P(x lesser than or equal to 25) = 0.001
