One way to check on how representative a survey is of the population from which it was drawn is to compare various characteristics of the sample with the population characteristics. A typical variable used for this purpose is age. The 2010 GSS of the American adult population found a mean age 49.28 years and a standard deviation of 17.21 for its sample of 4,857 adults. Assume that we know from Census data that the mean age of all American adults is 37.2 years.

Required:
a. State the research and the null hypothesis setting for a two-tailed test.
b. Calculate the t statistics and test the null hypothesis setting alpha at .01. What did you find?
c. What is your decision about the null hypothesis? What does this tell us about how representative the sample is of the American adult population?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) See step by Step explanation

b) z(s) = 48.88

c) We reject H₀. The sample is not representative of American Adult Population

Step-by-step explanation:

From sample

sample mean .    x = 49.28

sample standard deviationn   s = 17.21

sample size  n₁  = 4857

Population mean according to Census data

μ  = 37.2

a) Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis .                  H₀ .                    x =  μ  = 37.2

Alternative Hypothesis        Hₐ .                    x ≠ μ

b) We have sample size (4857) we can use normal distribution

z (c) for    α = 0.01   α/2 . = 0.005  is from z-table . z(c) = 2.575

To calculate  z(s) =  ( x  - μ ) / s /√n

z(s) =  12.08 * √4857 / 17.21

z(s) = 12.08* 69.64 / 17.21

z(s) = 48.88

z(s) > z(c)

We should reject H₀. The sample is not representative of American Adult population

Answers

Answer:

Direct variation

[tex]k = 2.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Required

The type of variation

First, we check for direct variation using:

[tex]k = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]

Pick corresponding points on the table

[tex](x,y) = (-2,-5)[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{-5}{-2} = 2.5[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (4,10)[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (6,15)[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]

Hence, the table shows direct variation with [tex]k = 2.5[/tex]

To make a salad dressing you mix vinegar and olive oil in the ratio 2:5 how much olive oil is needed with 20 ml of vinegar

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion with the ratios being

[tex]\frac{vinegar}{oil}[/tex]  If there is a 2:5 ratio of vinegar to oil, that ratio looks like this:

[tex]\frac{v}{o}:\frac{2}{5}[/tex] and if we are looking for how much oil, x, is needed for 20 ml of vinegar, then that ratio completes the proportion:

[tex]\frac{v}{o}:\frac{2}{5}=\frac{20}{x}[/tex] and cross multiply.

2x = 100 so

x = 50 ml of oil

A line that passes through the origin also passes through the point (6,2). What is the slope of the line?

please answer with an explanation

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of its "rise" to its "run." The "rise" is the change in vertical distance, and the "run" is the corresponding change in horizontal distance between two points on the line. The formula for the slope is ...

  [tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\qquad\text{where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line}[/tex]

In this problem, you are told the line passes through the origin, which is point (x, y) = (0, 0), and through point (6, 2). Using these coordinates in the slope formula gives ...

  [tex]m=\dfrac{2-0}{6-0}=\dfrac{2}{6}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]

__

You may notice that when the line passes through the origin, the slope is simply the ratio y/x of any point on the line. Here, that ratio is 2/6 = 1/3.

_____

Additional comment

A line through the origin is the graph of a proportional relationship. That is, y is proportional to x. The slope of the line is the constant of proportionality. The equation of the line is ...

  y = kx . . . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality.

The line in this problem statement will have the equation ...

  y = (1/3)x

3. The size of a red blood cell is 0.000007 m and the size of a plant
cell is 0.0000127 m. Compare these two.​

Answers

Given:

Size of a red blood cell = 0.000007 m

Size of a plant cell = 0.0000127 m

To find:

The comparison of these two values.

Solution:

We have,

Size of a red blood cell = 0.000007 m

Size of a plant cell = 0.0000127 m

Clearly, [tex]0.0000127>0.000007[/tex]. Now, the difference between these two values is:

[tex]0.0000127-0.000007=0.0000057[/tex]

Therefore, the size of a plant cell is 0.0000057 m more than the size of a red blood cell.

The triangles are similar by:
the ASA similarity theorem.
the SSS similarity theorem.
the AAS similarity theorem.
the AA similarity postulate.
the SAS similarity theorem.

Answers

Answer:

E. by the SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Included angle x° in ∆ ABC ≅ included angle x° in ∆EDC (vertical angles are equal)

DC/BC = 240/150 = 1.6

EC/AC = 320/200 = 1.6

This implies that the ratio of two corresponding sides of both triangles are the same.

Two triangles are considered similar to each other by the SAS similarity theorem of they have a corresponding included angle that is equal and two corresponding sides that are congruent to each other. Therefore, both triangles are similar by the SAS similarity theorem.

C) Systematic Sampling
D) Simple Random Sampling
E) Cluster Sampling
F) Convenience Sampling

Answer:

F) Convenience Sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

A statistics student interviews the last fifteen attendees to arrive.

Conveniently available, so convenience, and the correct answer is given by option F.

Answer:

x = 3

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle FGH,

m∠F + m∠G + m∠H = 180° [Triangle sum theorem]

60° + 90° + m∠H = 180°

m∠H = 30°

If the given triangles FGH and TUV are congruent, their corresponding sides will be equal in measure.

m∠F = m∠T

7y + 4 = 60°

7y = 56

y = 8

GH ≅ UV

8x - 12 = 12

8x = 24

x = 3

Using the AAS congruence theorem, the values of x and y that show that both triangles are congruent are: x = 3 and y = 8.

What is the AAS Congruence Theorem?

According to the angle-angle-side congruence theorem (AAS), two triangles are congruent if they have two corresponding congruent angles and one pair of corresponding non-included sides that are congruent.

Thus, by the AAS theorem, we have:

8x - 12 = 12

8x = 12 + 12

8x = 24

x = 3

Also,

7y + 4 = 60

7y = 60 - 4

7y = 56

y = 8

Therefore, using the AAS congruence theorem, the values of x and y that show that both triangles are congruent are: x = 3 and y = 8.
