1. (5pt) In a recent New York City marathon, 25,221 men finished and 253 dropped out. Also,
12,883 women finished and 163 dropped out. We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test
the claim that the rate of those who finish is the same for men and women.
a) Test the claim using a hypothesis test (identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis,
test statistic, critical value (or P-value) and conclusion)
b) Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.
Answer:
(a) Explained below.
(b) The 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.00094, 0.00494).
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided is:
n (Men who finished the marathon) = 25,221
n (Women who finished the marathon) = 12,883
Compute the proportion of men and women who finished the marathon as follows:
[tex]\hat p_{1}=\frac{25221}{25221 +253}=0.99\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{12883 }{12883+163}=0.988[/tex]
The combined proportion is:
[tex]\hat P=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}\\\\=\frac{25221+12883}{38520}\\\\=0.989[/tex]
(a)
The hypothesis is:
H₀: The rate of those who finish the marathon is the same for men and women, i.e. p₁ - p₂ = 0.
Hₐ: The rate of those who finish the marathon is not same for men and women, i.e. p₁ - p₂ ≠ 0.
Compute the test statistic as follows:
[tex]Z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat P(1-\hat P)\cdot [\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.99-0.988}{\sqrt{0.989(1-0.989)\times[\frac{1}{25474}+\frac{1}{13046}]}}\\\\=1.78[/tex]
Compute the p-value as follows:
[tex]p-value=2\times P(Z>1.78)\\\\=2\times 0.03754\\\\=0.07508\\\\\approx 0.075[/tex]
The p-value of the test is more than the significance level. The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.
Thus, concluding that the rate of those who finish is the same for men and women.
(b)
Compute the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions as follows:
The critical value of z for 99% confidence level is 2.58.
[tex]CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n_{2}}}[/tex]
[tex]=(0.99-0.988)\pm 2.58\times\sqrt{\frac{0.99(1-0.99)}{25474}+\frac{0.988(1-0.988)}{13046}}\\\\=0.002\pm 0.00294\\\\=(-0.00094, 0.00494)\\\\[/tex]
Thu, the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.00094, 0.00494).

If f(x) = 4-x* and g(x) = 6x, which expression is equivalent to (g -)(3)?
O 6-3- (4 + 3)²
O6-3- (4- 3)
O 6(3) -4 +32
O 6(3) –4 -32
Answer:
The expression that equivalent to (g - f)(3) is 6(3) - 4 + 3² ⇒ C
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ f(x) = 4 - x²
∵ g(x) = 6x
→ Find at first (g - f)(x) by subtracting f(x) from g(x)
∵ (g - f)(x) = 6x - (4 - x²)
→ Remember (-)(+) = (-) and (-)(-) = (+)
∴ (g - f)(x) = 6x - 4 + x²
→ Substitute x by 3 to find (g - f)(3)
∵ (g - f)(3) = 6(3) - 4 + (3)²
∴ (g - f)(3) = 6(3) - 4 + 3²
The expression that equivalent to (g - f)(3) is 6(3) - 4 + 3²

The table shows a ratio used to make orange paint. Using the table, how many quarts of yellow paint would be required to make this shade of orange if you used 9 quarts of red paint?
Answer:
7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To make orange-shaded paint if we use 9 quarts of red paint we need 7.5 quarts of yellow paint.
What are ratio and proportion?A ratio is a comparison between two similar quantities in simplest form.
Proportions are of two types one is the direct proportion in which if one quantity is increased by a constant k the other quantity will also be increased by the same constant k and vice versa.
In the case of inverse proportion if one quantity is increased by a constant k the quantity will decrease by the same constant k and vice versa.
Given to make an orange shade paint 5 quarts of yellow paint and 6 quarts of red paint are needed.
Assuming the no. of yellow paint needed is x when 9 quarts of red paint is used.
As they are in direct proportion we can write
5 : 6 : : x : 9.
5/6 = x/9.
6x = 45.
x = 7.5.

A cyclist estimates that he will bike 80 miles this week. He actually bikes 75.5 miles. What is the percent error of the cyclist's estimate? Round the percent to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
Answer:
6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimated distance = 80 miles
Actual distance covered = 75.5 miles
We need to find the percent error of the cyclist's estimate. Its formula is given by :
[tex]\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]\%=\dfrac{80-75.5}{75.5}\times 100\\\\=5.96\%[/tex]
or
= 6%
So, the percentage error is 6%.

At the movie theater all snacks and all movie tickets are priced the same. Four snacks and three movie tickets cost $40. Two snacks and three movie tickets are $32. What is the cost of a snack and movie ticket?
Write a systems that could be used to solve this problem. Let x = the cost of a snack in dollars and let y = the cost of a movie ticket.
We know that four snacks and three movie tickets cost $40 dollars, and when you take away 2 snacks but still keep the tickets, its $32.
2 snacks= $8
What i did to find the cost of each ticket is I divided 8 by 2 (8/2) and ended getting $4
1 snack= $4
Now to find the cost of each ticket, i divided 2 snacks ($8) and got this equation:
32 - 8= 24
3 tickets= $24
Now to find the amount for each ticket, i divided 24 by 3 (24/3) and got the answer:
1 ticket= $8
Therefore, snacks are $4 and movie tickets are $8
x tickets= 8x
x snacks= 4x

Identify the equation in slope-intercept form for the line containing the point (2,4) and perpendicular to y=1/2x+1/2.
Answer:
y = − 2 x
Step-by-step Explanation:
Y + 2 = − 2 ⋅ ( − 1 ) Write in y = m x + b form.
The equation of a perpendicular line must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
m in perpendicular = − 1 2
(1,-2),y=(1)/(2)x+4
I hope I helped!
Answer:
y = -2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we need to consider that the equation of a line perpendicular to another line will have a "negative reciprocal" slope so that when they cross, it forms a 90-degree angle, hence perpendicular. Additionally, we will need to use the point-slope form and re-write it into the slope-intercept form to incorporate (2,4) into our equation. With these things in mind, let's do that.
y = (1/2)x + (1/2)
We want a "negative reciprocal" so:
y = -2x + (1/2)
Since -2 is the "negative reciprocal" of 1/2.
And now we want to use the point-slope form to incorporate (2,4)
y - y0 = -2 ( x - x0 )
Where, y0 = 4 and x0 = 2.
y - y0 = -2 ( x - x0 )
y - 4 = -2 ( x - 2 )
y - 4 = -2x + 4
y = -2x + 8
So, the equation that is perpendicular to y = (1/2)x + (1/2) and includes the point (2,4) is y = -2x + 8.
Cheers.
I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT The area of a square is 49 square centimeters. Find the length of a side. Find the length of the
diagonal
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since squares have the same side lengths
then you need to find a number that multiplies twice that equals 49
7*7 = 49
Answer: Length of a side: 7 / Length of the diagonal: 9.9
Explanation:
Just square root 49, so it becomes 7. That's the side length. In order, to find the diagonal of the square, just use Pythagorean Theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. Because it's a quadrilateral, all of the sides should equal 7. a^2 would be 7 and b^2 would be 7. 49+49=98. Square root 98 and you would get 9.899... That would be estimated to 9.9.

13. 23 boat rides; 22 are full, and the first one has 301 passengers.
12. $11,067.50
Step-by-step explanation:
13,105 people in a day, divided by 582 per ride.
13,105/582 = 22 (with a remainder)
582 x 22 = 12,804
So, the remainder is
13,105 - 12,804 = 301
23 rides, with 22 full and the first one having 301 people.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define Inequality
-15x + 4 ≤ 39
Step 2: Solve for x
Subtract 4 on both sides: -15x ≤ 35
Divide -15 on both sides: x ≥ -7/3
Here we see that any value x greater than or equal to -7/3 would work as a solution to the inequality.

A bag of coins contains only quarters and dimes. The number of dimes in the bag can be represented by x. The number of quarters is 6 more than twice the number of dimes. There are a total of 276 coins in the bag. What is x, the number of dimes in the bag?
Answer:
There are 90 coins in the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] the number of dimes and quarters. Now we proceed to translate each relevant sentence into mathematical expressions:
(i) The number of quarters is 6 more than twice the number of dimes:
[tex]y = 2\cdot x + 6[/tex] (1)
(ii) There are a total of 276 coins in the bag:
[tex]x + y = 276[/tex] (2)
By applying (1) in (2), we find that the number of dimes is:
[tex]x+2\cdot x + 6 = 276[/tex]
[tex]3\cdot x = 270[/tex]
[tex]x = 90[/tex]
There are 90 coins in the bag.
