In a recent survey of gun control laws, a random sample of 564 women, 313 favored stricter gun control laws. In a random sample of 588 men, 307 favored stricter gun control laws. Can it be concluded at the .05 level of significance that a lower proportion of men favor stricter gun control than women

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.1314 > 0.05, which means that it cannot be concluded at the .05 level of significance that a lower proportion of men favor stricter gun control than women

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving the question, we need to understand the central limit theorem, and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

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]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Test if a lower proportion of men favor stricter gun control than women:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is the same, that is, the difference of the proportions if 0. So

[tex]H_0: p_M - p_W = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if it is less, that is, the subtraction of the proportions is negative. So

[tex]H_1: p_M - p_W < 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

In a recent survey of gun control laws, a random sample of 564 women, 313 favored stricter gun control laws.

This means that:

[tex]p_W = \frac{313}{564} = 0.555[/tex]

[tex]s_W = \sqrt{\frac{0.555*0.445}{564}} = 0.0209[/tex]

In a random sample of 588 men, 307 favored stricter gun control laws.

This means that:

[tex]p_M = \frac{307}{588} = 0.522[/tex]

[tex]s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.522*0.478}{588}} = 0.0206[/tex]

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the samples:

[tex]X = p_M - p_W = 0.522 - 0.555 = -0.033[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_M^2+s_W^2} = \sqrt{0.0206^2+0.0209^2} = 0.029[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

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

[tex]z = \frac{-0.033 - 0}{0.029}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.12[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion difference greater than 0.033, which is the p-value of z = -1.12.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.12 has a p-value of 0.1314.

The p-value of the test is 0.1314 > 0.05, which means that it cannot be concluded at the .05 level of significance that a lower proportion of men favor stricter gun control than women

Step-by-step explanation:

cos = adj/hyp

tan = opp/adj

The distribution of income tax refunds follow an approximate normal distribution with a mean of $7010 and a standard deviation of $43. All of the income tax returns claiming the largest 0.15 % of refunds will be audited. Use the Empirical Rule to determine approximately above what dollar value must a refund be before it is audited.

Answers

Answer:

A refund must be above $7,139 before it is audited.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 7010, standard deviation = 43.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The empirical rule is symmetric, which means that the lowest (100-99.7)/2 = 0.15% is at least 3 standard deviations below the mean, and the upper 0.15% is at least 3 standard deviations above the mean.

Use the Empirical Rule to determine approximately above what dollar value must a refund be before it is audited.

3 standard deviations above the mean, so:

7010 + 3*43 = 7139.

A refund must be above $7,139 before it is audited.

I think it’s 60 could be wrong tho so don’t quote me on this
Answer:  60

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

Explanation:

Angles EGD and BGF are vertical angles. Both are unknown and equal to x.

Notice how angle AGD is adjacent to angle CGD. These two angles form a straight angle (180 degrees) and angle CGD is a right angle. That must mean AGD is also a right angle.

Angles AGE and EGD must add to 90 degrees since AGD is 90

----------

(angleAGE)+(angleEGD) = (angle AGD)

(30) + (x) = 90

x = 90-30

x = 60

[tex] x_{1} = 3 + \sqrt {6} [/tex]

[tex] x_{2} = 3 - \sqrt {6} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation;

x² - 6x + 3 = 0

To find the roots of the quadratic equation, we would use the quadratic formula;

Note: the standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = -6 and c = 3

The quadratic equation formula is;

[tex] x = \frac {-b \; \pm \sqrt {b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a} [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] x = \frac {-(-6) \; \pm \sqrt {-6^{2} - 4*1*(3)}}{2*1} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm \sqrt {36 - (12)}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm \sqrt {36 - 12}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm \sqrt {24}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac {6 \pm 2 \sqrt {6}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x_{1} = \frac {6 + 2 \sqrt {6}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x_{1} = \frac {6}{2} + \frac {2 \sqrt {6}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x_{1} = 3 + \sqrt {6} [/tex]

Or

[tex] x_{2} = \frac {6 - 2 \sqrt {6}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x_{2} = \frac {6}{2} - \frac {2 \sqrt {6}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] x_{2} = 3 - \sqrt {6} [/tex]

Answer:

  102 11/12 km ≈ 102.917 km

  102,916 2/3 m ≈ 102,917 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1 minute is 1/60 of an hour, so 95 minutes is 95/60 hours = 19/12 hours.

Distance is the product of speed and time, so ...

  distance = (65 km/h)(19/12 h) = 1235/12 km = 102 11/12 km ≈ 102.917 km

__

Each kilometer is 1000 meters, so this distance is ...

  (102.917 km) × (1000 m/km) = 102,917 m
