The National Center for Education Statistics would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of Bachelor's degrees that were earned by women equals 0.60. A random sample of 140 college graduates with Bachelor degrees found that 75 were women. The National Center for Education Statistics would like to set α = 0.10. The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the absolute value of the test statistic is __________________________________.

Answers

Answer 1

This question involves the hypothesis test for the proportion. First we build the hypothesis, then find the test statistic, and according to the test statistic, we get the following answer:

The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value of 1.645, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the proportion of Bachelor's degrees that were earned by women equals 0.60.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The National Center for Education Statistics would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of Bachelor's degrees that were earned by women equals 0.60

This means that at the null hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion is of 0.6, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.6[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is different of 0.6, that is:

[tex]H_1: p \neq 0.6[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Decision rule:

Two-tailed test(test if the proportion is different of a value), so we exclude the top and bottom 0.1/2 = 0.05, meaning that looking at the z-table, we find a critical value of [tex]|Z_c| = 1.645[/tex], and the decision rule is:

Accept the null hypothesis: [tex]|Z| < 1.645[/tex]

Reject the null hypothesis: [tex]|Z| > 1.645[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.6 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.6, \sigma = 0.4[/tex]

75 out of a sample of 140:

This means that:

[tex]n = 140, \pi = \frac{75}{140} = 0.5357[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.5357 - 0.6}{\frac{\sqrt{0.6*0.4}}{\sqrt{140}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.55[/tex]

So |z| = 1.55

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Decision:

The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value of 1.645, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the proportion of Bachelor's degrees that were earned by women equals 0.60.

A)(-4,-1)
B)(4,1/2)
C)(1/2,-1)
D)(1,4)

Answers

Answer:

C

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is written in

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Looking at the values we have m = 1/2 and x1 = 1, y1 = 4.

Therefore the slope is 1/2 and the point is (1,4)

A rose garden is formed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is 24 ft long and 16 ft wide.
Find the area of the garden.

Answers

Answer: Using width as diameter=32π Using length as diameter=72π

*I included both possibilities since I didn't see a picture of the way in which the semicircle and rectangle were joined.*

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve, you have to know the formula for area of a circle which is A=πr^2 (pi*radius to the 2nd power)

The problem does not give us the radius, but we know that radius is half of the diameter.

To find the diameter, we have to use the side measurement of the rectangle and divide it by 2 to find the radius.

Next, we increase the radius to the 2nd power, giving us the radius of a whole circle.

Finally, we have to divide that by 2 since it's a semi circle otherwise known as half of a circle.

I put the answer in terms of pi since that's the most accurate, but if the question specifically instructs it, you can calculate part of the irrational decimal and round to a certain place value.

Answer:

[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

Required

The maximum and minimum of z

To do this, we make use of the graphical method

See attachment for graphs of

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

The corner points of the function are:

[tex](x,y) = (-1,1)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,-1)[/tex]

We have:

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

Calculate z with  the above values

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(0) = -4[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(-1) = -9[/tex]

So, we have:

Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games? Two samples were randomly

Answers

Complete question is;

Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games?

Two samples were randomly selected from three complete National Football League seasons (1989, 1990, and 1991). The first sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in a home game, while the second sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in an away game. The oddsmakers’ point spreads (which are the number of points by which the favored team is predicted to beat the weaker team) were then collected.

If µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively, which of the following is the appropriate.

A) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 < 0

B) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 < μ2

C) H0: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 = 0

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

E) None of the above

Answer:

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out if oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games.

Now, since µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively;

It means we want to find out if µ1 > µ2 as the alternative hypothesis.

Thus, alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: µ1 - µ2 > 0

Meanwhile null hypothesis assumes that equal point spreads are given when the favored team plays home games as well as when the favored team plays away games.

Thus, null hypothesis is;

H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

The only correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

4^2 + 2^2 = c^2

16 + 4 = c^2

c^2 = 20

c = 4.5

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2

a^2 + 20.25 = 81

a^2 = 81 - 20.25

a^2 = 60.75

a = 7.8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoreus Theorem

In the smaller rectangle

2²+4² = h²

20 = h²

h = √20

h = 2√5

Therefore two sides of the rectangle will 2√5

No using pythagoreus theorem in the bigger triangle

x² + (2√5)² = 9²

x² = 9² - (2√5)²

x² = 81 - 20

x = √61

There are 38 chocolates in a box, all identically shaped. There are 8 filled with nuts, 16 with caramel, and 14 are solid chocolate. You randomly select one piece, eat it and then select a second piece. Find the probability of selecting 2 solid chocolate in a row

Answers

Answer:

0.1294

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of chocolates in box = 38

Number of nuts = 8

Number of caramel = 16

Number of solid chocolate = 14

Since 2 are selected in a row and not replaced, then;

Probability of first being solid chocolate = 14/38

Probability of second being solid chocolate after first one = 13/37

Thus;

P(2 selected in a row being solid chocolate) = 14/38 × 13/37 = 0.1294

10b - 9 = 4 ( add 9 to both sides )

10b = 13 ( divide both sides by 10 )

b = 1.3

The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other , then

14a + 20 = 90 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

14a = 70 ( divide both sides by 14 )

a = 5

Thus c = a + b = 5 + 1.3 = 6.3 → D
