During the 2000 season, the home team won 138 out of 240 regular season National Football League games. (15 points) a) Construct

a 95% confidence interval for the winning proportion of the home team during this season. b) At the 0.01 significance level, is there strong evidence of a home field advantage (they win more than half of the games) in professional football? State hypotheses, calculate the test statistic and p-value, and make a conclusion in context

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Confidence interval is written as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

p = x/n

Where

n represents the number of samples

x represents the number of success

From the information given,

n = 240

x = 138

p = 138/240 = 0.58

q = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.025 = 0.975

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 95% is 1.96

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is

0.58 ± 1.96√(0.58)(0.42)/240

Confidence interval is

0.58 ± 0.062

B) winning more than halve of the games would be winning 120 games and above.

p = 120/240 = 0.5

We would set up the hypothesis test.

For the null hypothesis,

P ≥ 0.5

For the alternative hypothesis,

P < 0.5

Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of success = 138

n = number of samples = 240

P = 138/240 = 0.58

We would determine the test statistic which is the z score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.58 - 0.5)/√(0.5 × 0.5)/240 = 2.48

Recall that this is a left tailed test. We would determine the probability value of the area to the right of the z score from the normal distribution table.

P value = 1 - 0.9934 = 0.0066

Since alpha, 0.01 > the p value, 0.0066, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, At the 0.01 significance level, there is no strong evidence of a home field advantage (they win more than half of the games) in professional football.

The diameter of a circle has endpoints at (0,11) and (-6,-1). Write the equation of the circle in standard form.
Nata [24]

Answer:

(x - 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle's equation is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

(x - 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 17

James defines an angle as "a figure consisting of two rays." His statement is not precise enough because he should specify that
riadik2000 [5.3K]

James should define that the rays must be collinear. the two rays coming from the same point will form collinear rays which will form an angle at end point.

The statement of james should be precise in order to clearly explain the angle formation.

The two non collinear rays will form an angle at end point where they meet with each other.

The defined vertex will form the appropriate angle. there should be defined term for the non collinear rays.
