The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 1300 voters in the town and found that 45% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 42%. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is t = 2.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Our test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the expected mean, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Sample of 1300 voters:

This means that [tex]n = 1300[/tex]

Found that 45% of the residents favored construction.

This means that [tex]X = 0.45[/tex]

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 42%.

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.42[/tex], and by the Central Limit Theorem:

[tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = s = \sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{1300}} = 0.0137[/tex]

So, the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{0.45 - 0.42}{0.0137}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.19[/tex]

The value of the test statistic is t = 2.19.

¿De qué manera influye la ética en el hombre a partir de su función crítica? Explique.

Answers

Answer:

La ética es una rama de la filosofía que se ocupa de la reflexión crítica sobre las acciones de los hombres. En un sentido general, la ética busca establecer los criterios para juzgar si una acción puede calificarse de correcta o incorrecta, y para evaluar los motivos y consecuencias de dicha acción. Las cuestiones éticas también juegan un papel importante en la política, los negocios y la medicina, y en campos de la ciencia y el estudio como la historia, la biología y la sociología, la ética de la profesión es ocasionalmente un tema de discusión.

Así, la ética implica una evaluación de las acciones de las personas, calificándolas como correctas o incorrectas a los ojos de la sociedad. De esta manera, influye en la forma en que las personas realizan o dejan de realizar una determinada acción, ya que estas consideran sus consecuencias positivas o negativas al momento de realizarla.

Electrical failure No 32 3


The units without evidence of gas leaks or electrical failure showed other types of failure. If this is a representative sample of AC failure, find the probability.

a. That failure involves a gas leak
b. That there is evidence of electrical failure given that there was a gas leak
c. That there is evidence of a gas leak given that there is evidence of electrical failure

Answers

Answer:

A) 0.8131 ≈ 0.81

B) 0.6322 ≈ 0.63

C)  0.7639 ≈ 0.77

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Total number of  units

= 55 + 32 + 17 + 3

 = 107

hence the probability that the failure involves a gas leak

= ( 55 + 32 ) / 107

= 0.8131

B) probability that there is evidence of electrical failure given tat there is a gas leak

P ( A / B ) = [tex]\frac{P(A n B)}{P(B)}[/tex]

P( A∩B ) = 55/107 = 0.5140

P ( B ) = ( 55 + 32 ) / 107 = 0.8131

hence P ( A / B ) = 0.5140 / 0.8131 = 0.6322

A = failure due to electrical

B = failure due to gas leak

C)  Probability of a gas leak given that there is evidence of electrical failure

P ( B / A ) =  [tex]\frac{P(BnA)}{P(A)}[/tex]

P ( B ∩ A ) = 0.5140

P( A ) = ( 55 + 17 ) / 107  = 0.6729

hence P ( B / A ) = 0.5140 / 0.6729 = 0.7639

Nine pieces of 8 in. ✕ 12 in. duct that is 2 2 3 ft in length is needed for a building. What is the total length (in ft) needed?

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Nine pieces of 8-in. × 12-in. duct that is 2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ft in length is needed for a building. What is the total length (in ft) needed?

Answer:

the total length needed is 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given the data in the question;

the length of one piece of 8-in. × 12-in. duct is 2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ft

Now to find the total length for nine pieces of the duct;

we simple multiply 2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ft  by nine

so

Total length = 9 × 2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  

we convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  = 8/3

so

Total length = 9 × (8/3) ft

Total length = 24 ft

Therefore, the total length needed is 24 ft

What is 12.36 rounded to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer:

12.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how to round 12.36 to the nearest whole number. In other words, this is how to round 12.36 to the nearest integer.

12.36 has two parts. The integer part to the left of the decimal point and the fractional part to the right of the decimal point:

Integer Part: 12

Fractional Part: 36

Our goal is to round it so we only have an integer part using the following rules:

If the first digit in the fractional part of 12.36 is less than 5 then we simply remove the fractional part to get the answer.

If the first digit in the fractional part of 12.36 is 5 or above, then we add 1 to the integer part and remove the fractional part to get the answer.

The first digit in the fractional part is 3 and 3 is less than 5. Therefore, we simply remove the fractional part to get 12.36 rounded to the nearest whole number as:

Suppose the variance in trunk diameter of the giant sequoia tree species is 15.7m^2, while the variance in trunk diameter of the California redwood tree species is 10.6m^2. Let x1 represent the average trunk diameter of four randomly sampled giant sequoia trees, and let x2 represent the average trunk diameter of three randomly sampled California redwood trees. If the random sampling is done with replacement, what is the standard deviation σ(x1−x2) of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means x1−x2 ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{ \sqrt{\dfrac{15.7}{4} + \dfrac{10.6}{3}} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]\overline x_1 =[/tex] the average diameter of 4 randomly select sequoia trunk from giant trees

[tex]\overline{x_2}[/tex] = the average diameter of 3 randomly selected trunk in California trees.

Thus;

sample size [tex]\mathbf{n_1 = 4 \ \ \& \ \ n_2 = 3}[/tex]

Variance:

[tex]\mathbf{\sigma_1^2 = 15.7 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\sigma_2^2 = 10.6 }[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\mathbf {( \overline x_1 - \overline x_2) \sim Normal \Big ( \mu_1 -\mu_2 \ , \ \dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \dfrac{\sigma_12^2}{n_2} \Big )}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Mean ( \overline x_1 - \overline x_2) = \mu_1 - \mu_2}[/tex]

Therefore:

The standard deviation [tex]\mathbf{ \overline x_1 - \overline x_2 = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2} } }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ \overline x_1 - \overline x_2 = \sqrt{\dfrac{15.7}{4} + \dfrac{10.6}{3}} }[/tex]

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in the sample means is 9.95

The given parameters are:

Variance: [tex]\sigma_1 ^2 = 15.7[/tex], [tex]\sigma_2 ^2 = 10.6[/tex]Sample size: [tex]n_1 = 4[/tex], [tex]n_2 = 3[/tex].

For a normal distribution we have:

[tex]\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}[/tex]

So, the equation becomes

[tex]\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = \sqrt{\frac{15.7^2}{4} +\frac{10.6^2}{3}}[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents

[tex]\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = \sqrt{\frac{246.49}{4} +\frac{112.36}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = \sqrt{61.62+37.45}[/tex]

Evaluate the sums

[tex]\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = \sqrt{99.07}[/tex]

Evaluate the square roots

[tex]\bar x_1 - \bar x_2 = 9.95[/tex]

Hence, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in the sample means is 9.95

Answer:

Yes. Felix is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how much ml does a can of lemonade have, I would assume its 330ml since I searched up the ml of a lemonade can.

Find out how much cans of lemonade there are in 2 packs of 8.

2 packs = 8 x 2 = 16 cans of lemonade

Now find out how much ml 16 lemonade cans equal to.

1 can of lemonade = 330ml

16 cans of lemonade = 330 x 16 = 5280ml

Now let's find 5 bottles of 1 litre.

1 litre x 5 = 5 litres.

5280 = 5 litres and 280ml

So Felix is correct about 2 packs of 8 cans is more than 5 bottles of 1 litre.
