A publisher reports that 54% of their readers own a personal computer. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 200 found that 44% of the readers owned a personal computer. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level to support the executive's claim

Answers

Answer 1

The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0 : u = 0.44  vs   Ha: u > 0.44

Null hypothesis: 44% of readers own a personal computer.

Alternate Hypothesis : greater than 44% of readers own a personal computer.

This is one tailed test and the critical region for this one tailed test for the significance level 0.1 is  Z >  ±1.28

The given values are

p1= 0.54 , p2= 0.44 ; q2= 1-p2= 0.56

Using z test

Z = p1-p2/√p2(1-p2)/n

Z= 0.54-0.44/ √0.44*0.56/200

z= =0.1/ 0.03509

z=  2.849

Since the calculated value of Z=  2.849 is greater than Z= 1.28  reject the null hypothesis therefore there is sufficient evidence to support the executive's claim.

Null hypothesis is rejected

There is sufficient evidence to support the executive's claim at 0.10 significance level.

State and prove the converse of the pythagorean theorem using a two-column proof

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm from the UK and I'm not familiar with a two column proof, but the following proves the converse.

Draw 2 right angled triangles with the 2 legs = a and b in each case and the longest side = c in one triangle and f in the other.

By Pythagoras a^2 + b^2 = c^2   (Given)

Also in the other triangle a^2 + b^2 = f^2,  if it is right-angled.

Therefore a^2 = f^2 and a = f.

So the 2 triangles are congruent by SSS.

So m < C  in one triangle = m < F  ( the angles opposite the hypotenuse)

Therefore the second triangle is right angled .

This completes the proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible equations, but neither matches the the choices you listed. The choices seem to have several typographical errors.

Point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-4, 7) and (5,-3) is y - 7 =(-10/9)(x + 4).

How to estimate the point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-4, 7) and (5,-3)?

Slope

[tex]$= \frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}[/tex]

= (-3 - 7) / (5 - (-4))

= -10/9

The point-slope equation for the line of slope -(10/9) that passes through the point (5, -3).

y + 3 = (-10/9)(x - 5)

Point slope equation for the line of slope -(10/9) that passes through the point (-4, 7)

Point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-4, 7) and (5,-3) is y - 7 = (-10/9)(x + 4).

Therefore, the correct answer is y - 7 = (-10/9)(x + 4).

Answers

Answer:  Box A, 2.777

=======================================================

Explanation:

When using a calculator or long division, you should find that

7/9 = 0.7777...

where the 7s go on forever

So we can say that 7/9 = 0.777 approximately. You could argue that the last '7' would round up to an '8' and we could say 7/9 = 0.778; however, I'll stick to the first value so that it matches with the answer.

Since 7/9 = 0.777, this means 2 & 7/9 = 2 + 7/9 = 2 + 0.777 = 2.777 which is box A.

The stemplot below represents the number of bite-size snacks grabbed by 37 students in an activity for a statistics class.

A stemplot titled Number of snacks has values 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 18, 18, 18, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 21, 21, 21, 22, 23, 25, 25, 28, 32, 38, 42, 45.

Which of the following statements best describes the distribution?

The distribution of the number of snacks grabbed is skewed right with a center around 18 and varies from 15 to 45. There are no outliers.
The distribution of the number of snacks grabbed is symmetric with a center around 18 and varies from 12 to 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45.
The distribution of the number of snacks grabbed is skewed left with a center around 18 and varies from 12 to 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45.
The distribution of the number of snacks grabbed is skewed right with a center around 18 and varies from 12 to 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45.

Answers

Answer:

The distribution of the number of snacks grabbed is skewed right with a center around 18 and varies from 12 to 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can see if the graph is symmetric. A symmetric graph is even on both sides of the center. As there are a lot more students that grabbed a small number of snacks, and the data is not even around the center (which is somewhere around 20 or 30 snacks). This means that the graph is not symmetric, making the second answer incorrect.

Next, we can check if the graph is skewed right or left. If the left of the graph represents a smaller amount of snacks and the right of it represents a higher number of snacks, we can see that most of the data is on the left of the graph. There are a few values to the right, but the overwhelming amount of data is on the left, making the distribution skewed to the right. This keeps the first and last answers possible

Moreover, we can find the center of the distribution. This is generally equal to the median, which is 18, so the center is around 18

After that, we can see what the values vary from. The lowest tens value is 1, and the lowest ones value in that is 2, making the lowest value 12. Similarly, the highest tens value is 4, and the highest ones value there is 5, making the range 12 to 45. This leaves the last answer, but we can check the outliers to make sure.

With the data, we can calculate the first quartile to be 15, the third quartile to be 21.5, and the interquartile range to be 21.5-15 = 6.75 . If a number is less than Q₁ - 1.5 * IQR or greater than Q₃ + 1.5 * IQR, it is a potential outlier. Applying that here, the lower bound for non-outliers is 15 - 6.5 * 1.5 = 5.25, and the upper bound if 21 + 6.5 * 1.5 = 30.75. No values are less than 5.25, but there are four values greater than 30.75 in 32, 38, 42, and 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45, matching up with the last answer.

Starting with a fresh bar of soap, you weigh the bar each day after you take a shower. Then you find the regression line for predicting weight from number of days elapsed. The slope of this line will be:__________.

Answers

Answer:

The slope will be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the regression line tells us about the relationship or behavior of the dependent and independent variables. In the scenario above, where the weight is being compared with the number of days elapsed. What is expected of the weight and quantity of a bar soap each time it is used for a shower is that it will decrease in weight. Therefore, as the number of days increases, and hence, number of showers rise, the weight of soap will decrease. Hence, we'll obtain a negative slope, one in which the increase in a variable leads to decrease in the other.

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-1,2)
and the points of intersections of the line 2x - 3y + 11 = 0 and
5x + y + 3 = 0​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-5x-3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0).

To solve for the equation of the line, we would need to:

Find the point of intersection between the two given linesUse the point of intersection and the given point (-1,2) to solve for the slope of the lineUse a point and the slope in [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] to solve for the y-interceptPlug the slope and the y-intercept back into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] to achieve the final equation

1) Find the point of intersection between the two given lines

[tex]2x - 3y + 11 = 0[/tex]

[tex]5x + y + 3 = 0[/tex]

Isolate y in the second equation:

[tex]y=-5x-3[/tex]

Plug y into the first equation:

[tex]2x - 3(-5x-3) + 11 = 0\\2x +15x+9 + 11 = 0\\17x+20 = 0\\17x =-20\\\\x=\displaystyle-\frac{20}{17}[/tex]

Plug x into the second equation to solve for y:

[tex]5x + y + 3 = 0\\\\5(\displaystyle-\frac{20}{17}) + y + 3 = 0\\\\\displaystyle-\frac{100}{17} + y + 3 = 0[/tex]

Isolate y:

[tex]y = -3+\displaystyle\frac{100}{17}\\y = \frac{49}{17}[/tex]

Therefore, the point of intersection between the two given lines is [tex](\displaystyle-\frac{20}{17},\frac{49}{17})[/tex].

2) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points that fall on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the two points [tex](\displaystyle-\frac{20}{17},\frac{49}{17})[/tex] and (-1,2):

[tex]m=\displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle\frac{49}{17}-2}{\displaystyle-\frac{20}{17}-(-1)}\\\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle\frac{15}{17} }{\displaystyle-\frac{20}{17}+1}\\\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle\frac{15}{17} }{\displaystyle-\frac{3}{17} }\\\\\\m=-5[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is -5. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-5x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=-5x+b[/tex]

Plug in the point (-1,2) and solve for b:

[tex]2=-5(-1)+b\\2=5+b\\-3=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is -3. Plug this back into [tex]y=-5x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3[/tex]
