A study1 conducted in July 2015 examines smartphone ownership by US adults. A random sample of 2001 people were surveyed, and th

e study shows that 688 of the 989 men own a smartphone and 671 of the 1012 women own a smartphone. We want to test whether the survey results provide evidence of a difference in the proportion owning a smartphone between men and women. Let group 1 be US men and let group 2 be US women.
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.
(b) Give the notation for the sample statistic.
(c) Give the value for the sample statistic.
(d) In the sample, which group has higher samartphone ownership: men or women?

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

b) z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{688+671}{989+1012}=0.679  

c) z=\frac{0.696-0.663}{\sqrt{0.679(1-0.679)(\frac{1}{989}+\frac{1}{1012})}}=1.58    

d) In this scenario, we notice that \hat p_1 > \hat p_2 thus the conclusion for this case would indicate

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

X_{1}=688 denote the number of men possessing smartphones  

X_{2}=671 signify the number of women possessing smartphones

n_{1}=989 group of men sampled

n_{2}=1012 group of women sampled

p_{1}=\frac{688}{989}=0.696 symbolize the proportion of men with smartphones

p_{2}=\frac{671}{1012}=0.663 symbolize the proportion of women with smartphones

\hat p denote the pooled estimate of p

z would denote the test statistic

p_v signify the value

Part a

The objective is to evaluate if there is a disparity in smartphone ownership between men and women; the hypothesis statements would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}    

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}    

Part b

The statistic relevant to this case is expressed as:

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{688+671}{989+1012}=0.679  

Part c

By substituting the provided information, we find:

z=\frac{0.696-0.663}{\sqrt{0.679(1-0.679)(\frac{1}{989}+\frac{1}{1012})}}=1.58    

Part d

In this instance, it is evident that \hat p_1 > \hat p_2 thus the conclusion for this case would seem

babunello [8412]
A) To establish a sampling plan, follow these 5 steps:
    1) Identify the sample population: which customers will you reach out to?
       Those who purchased a new car during a specific year.
    2) Determine the population size: how many customers will you contact?
       From the 30,000 car buyers, select 1,000 customers to contact.
    3) Select contact method: what is your means of contacting customers?
       Since you have a list with names and addresses, mailing questionnaires is feasible.
    4) Define the sampling frame: what is the timeline or deadline for contacting customers?
       Send out questionnaires and allow two months for responses.
    5) Decide on the analysis approach: is your research qualitative or quantitative?
     You aim for quantitative research, so you will use probabilistic sampling.

B) The 32.5% probability relates only to those customers who experienced mechanical issues, specifically power door lock problems, and does not account for those without any problems or those reporting issues after the first 5,000 miles.

C) To estimate the probability of power door lock problems among all customers within the first 5,000 miles, consider the entire sample:
P = 13 / 1000 = 0.013

Therefore,
N = 0.013 × 30,000 = 390

Thus, the estimated number of new cars that had power door lock issues within 5,000 miles is 390.

Which expressions are equivalent to RootIndex 3 StartRoot 128 EndRoot Superscript x? Select three correct answers.
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

- 128 Superscript StartFraction 3 Over x EndFraction

- (4RootIndex 3 StartRoot 2 EndRoot)x

- (4 (2 Superscript one-third Baseline) ) Superscript x

Step-by-step explanation:

Considerando la ecuación dada (\sqrt[3]{128} )^{x}\\

De acuerdo con una de las leyes de índices,

(\sqrt[a]{m} )^{b}\\= (\sqrt{m})^\frac{b}{a}

Aplicando esta ley a la pregunta;

(\sqrt[3]{128} )^{x}\\ = {128} ^\frac{x}{3}\\ \\= (\sqrt[3]{64*2})^{x} \\ = (4\sqrt[3]{2})^{x} \\= (4(2^{1/3} )^{x} )

<pLos siguientes son ciertos de acuerdo con el cálculo presentado

128 Superscript StartFraction 3 Over x EndFraction

(4RootIndex 3 StartRoot 2 EndRoot)x

(4 (2 Superscript one-third Baseline) ) Superscript x

If the volume of a cube is increased by a factor of 10, by what factor does the surface area per unit volume change
tester [8842]

Answer:

  (1/10)∛100 ≈ 0.4642

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cubic shape with volume V, the edge length is defined as...

  s = ∛V

and the surface area is given by...

  A = 6s² = 6V^(2/3)

The area-to-volume ratio is therefore...

  r1 = A/V = 6V^(2/3)/V = 6V^(-1/3)

When the volume V is increased by a factor of 10, the new area-to-volume ratio becomes...

  r2 = 6(10V)^(-1/3)

Consequently, the change factor for the ratio is...

  r2/r1 = (6(10V)^(-1/3))/(6V^(-1/3)) = 10^(-1/3) = (1/10)∛100

The change in surface area per unit volume results in a factor of (∛100)/10.

___

Example

For a cube with side length 2, the corresponding volume equals 2³ = 8, with a surface area of 6·2² = 24. The resulting area-to-volume ratio is 24/8 = 3.

<pif we="" multiply="" the="" edge="" length="" by="" new="" volume="" equals="" and="" surface="" area="" equates="" to="" so="" area-to-volume="" ratio="" becomes...="">

The area-to-volume ratio changed by a factor of (0.3∛100)/3 = (∛100)/10, as previously noted.

The pizza shop offers a 15 percent discount for veterans and senior citizens. If the price of a pizza is $12, how would you find
Svet_ta [9500]
To calculate, simply multiply 12 by 0.15 or 15%, which equals 1.8. Then subtract 1.8 from 12, yielding $10.20 as the discounted price for the pizza.

I hope this is helpful
