In June 2005, a CBS News/NY Times poll asked a random sample of 1,111 U.S. adults the following question: "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" Roughly 19% of those sampled answered "the war in Iraq" (while the rest answered economy/jobs, terrorism, healthcare, etc.).

Exactly a year prior to this poll, in June of 2004, it was estimated that roughly 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults believed (at that time) that the war in Iraq was the most important problem facing the country. We would like to test whether the 2005 poll provides significant evidence that the proportion of U.S. adults who believe that the war in Iraq is the most important problem facing the U.S. has decreased since the prior poll.

What are the appropriate hypotheses in this case?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The appropriate null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: p = 0.25[/tex]

The appropriate alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: p < 0.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly a year prior to this poll, in June of 2004, it was estimated that roughly 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults believed (at that time) that the war in Iraq was the most important problem facing the country.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still the same, that is, of [tex]\frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]. So

[tex]H_0: p = 0.25[/tex]

We would like to test whether the 2005 poll provides significant evidence that the proportion of U.S. adults who believe that the war in Iraq is the most important problem facing the U.S. has decreased since the prior poll.

Decreased, so at the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the proportion is less than 0.25, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.25[/tex]

Becky Anderson must pay a lump sum of $6000 in 5 yr. If only $5000 is available to deposit right now, what annual interest rate is necessary for the money to increase to $6000 in 5 yr?

Answers

Hello!

Out equation is: [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^t^n[/tex]

A= 6000

P=5000

N=1

T=5

R= What we are trying to find

This means we will have [tex]6000=5000(1+r)^5[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5000:

[tex]\frac{6000}{5000} = (1+r)^5[/tex]

Move the power to the other side by rooting both sides:

[tex]\frac{6000}{5000} ^1^/^5 = 1+r[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides:

[tex]\frac{6000}{5000} ^1^/^5 -1 = r[/tex]

Now we just need to calculate: R = 0.03713728...

Question 4 (Essay Worth 10 points)
(02.05 HC)

The linear functions f(x) and g(x) are represented on the graph, where g(x) is a transformation of f(x):

A graph with two linear functions; f of x passes through 5, 0 and 10, 10, and g of x passes through negative 3, 0 and 2, 10.

Part A: Describe two types of transformations that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x). (2 points)

Part B: Solve for k in each type of transformation. (4 points)

Part C: Write an equation for each type of transformation that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x). (4 points)

Answers

Using the points stated in the original problem, I have determined the lines for the graph.  

f(x)=3x-1

g(x)= 3x+17

Using the basic descriptions of transformations, we can determine the movement of the lines as being either horizontal or vertical shifts. (to put a visual to this problem, I the diagram in Desmos and then marked the stated points on the graph.)

Horizontal shifts move the line either to the left or to the right.  Vertical shifts move the line either up or down.

If you look at the graphs as being the same x-value for the functions, the change in the y- value is +18, which is a vertical shift.  

If you look at the graphs as being the same y-values, the change in x is -6 which is a horizontal shift.  

So, the value of k is the amount of change each equation has to have to match the points given. (from f(x) to g(x))

The vertical shift is g(x)=f(x) +18

The horizontal shift is g(x)=f(x-6)

Answer:

The vertical shift is g(x)=f(x) +18

The horizontal shift is g(x)=f(x-6)

A sample of 4 children was drawn from a population of rural Indian children aged 12 to 60 months. The sample mean of mid-upper arm circumference was 150 mm with a standard deviation of 6.73. What is a 95% confidence interval for the mean of mid-upper arm circumference based on your sample

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of mid-upper arm circumference based on your sample is between 139.29 mm and 160.71 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 4 - 1 = 3

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 3 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 3.1824

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.1824\frac{6.73}{\sqrt{4}} = 10.71[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 150 - 10.71 = 139.29 mm

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 150 + 10.71 = 160.71 mm

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of mid-upper arm circumference based on your sample is between 139.29 mm and 160.71 mm.

Cosine is a trigonometric function that is represented by adjacent divided by the hypotenuse. The side adjacent to angle A is AC and the hypotenuse is AB, so we can say cos(A) = [tex]\frac{AC}{AB}[/tex]. We can do the same for angle B. The side adjacent to it is BC, and the hypotenuse is again AB. So, we can say

cos(B) = [tex]\frac{BC}{AB}[/tex]. We are solving for [tex]\frac{cosA}{cosB}[/tex], so we can substitute the value of those two and solve:

A textbook store sold a combined total of 473 chemistry and sociology textbooks in a week. The number of sociology textbooks sold was 59 less than the number of chemistry textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?

Answers

Answer:

I. C = 266 textbooks.

II. S = 207 textbooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the chemistry textbook be C.

Let the sociology textbook be S.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

C + S = 473 ..... equation 1

S = C - 59 ..... equation 2

Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1, we have;

C + C - 59 = 473

2C - 59 = 473

2C = 473 + 59

2C = 532

C = 532/2

C = 266 textbooks.

Next, we would determine the value of S;

S = C - 59

S = 266 - 59

S = 207 textbooks.

Check:

C + S = 473

266 + 207 = 473

473 = 473

Answers

Let S and T denote the two finite sums,

S = 1 + x + x ² + x ³ + … + x

T = 1 - x + x ² - x ³ + … + (-x) ᴺ

• If both S = 8 and T = 8 as N goes to infinity:

Then

xS = x + x ² + x ³ + x ⁴ + … + x ᴺ⁺¹

-xT = -x + x ² - x ³ + x ⁴ + … + (-x) ᴺ⁺¹

so that

S - xS = 1 - x ᴺ⁺¹   ==>   S = (1 - x ᴺ⁺¹)/(1 - x)

and similarly,

T = (1 - (-x) ᴺ⁺¹)/(1 + x)

For both sums, so long as |x| < 1, we have

lim [N → ∞] S = 1/(1 - x)

lim [N → ∞] T = 1/(1 + x)

Then if both sums converge to 8, this happens for

S : 1/(1 - x) = 8   ==>   x = 7/8

T : 1/(1 + x) = 8   ==>   x = -7/8

• If the sum S + T = 8 as N goes to infinity:

From the previous results, we have

1/(1 - x) + 1/(1 + x) = 8   ==>   x = ±√3/2

Answers

We know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, e = 61° [Vertically opposite angles]

We know that linear pair of angles are supplementary (180°).

So, f + 61° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

=> f = 180° - 61°

=> f = 119°

and d + 90° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full. After he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full. How many gallons can abdul's tank hold

Answers

Answer:

Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Abdul's gas tank is 1/3 full, and after he buys 12 gallons of gas, it is 7/9 full, to determine how many gallons can Abdul's tank hold the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.3333

7/9 = 0.7777

0.777 - 0.333 = 0.444

0.444 = 12

1 = X

12 / 0.444 = X

27 = X

Therefore, Abdul's tank can hold 27 gallons of gas.
