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.

Answers

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).

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.

Answers

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

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

Answers

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?

Answers

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.

What is the general form of the equation of the line shown?

Answers

Answer:

the general form of the equation of the line will be:

[tex]y-x=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the slope:

Taking two points from the line as shown in figure

(-2, 0)(0, 2)

Finding the slope between (-2, 0) and (0, 2)

[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:0\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:2\right)[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{2-0}{0-\left(-2\right)}[/tex]

[tex]m=1[/tex]

Finding the y-intercept

We know that the y-intercept can be calculated by setting x=0

From the figure, it is clear that at x=0, y=2

Thus, the y-intercept is (0, 2)

We know that the slope-intercept form of the equation line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

As we have already determined the slope = m = 1 and the y-intercept b=2.

Substituting the values in the slope-intercept form of the equation line

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

[tex]y=(1)x+2[/tex]

[tex]y=x+2[/tex]

Writing the equation in the standard form form

As we know that the equation in the standard form is

[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]

where x and y are variables and A, B and C are constants

As we already know the equation in slope-intercept form

[tex]y=x+2[/tex]

so just simplify the equation to write in standard form

[tex]y-x=2[/tex]

Thus, the general form of the equation of the line will be:

[tex]y-x=2[/tex]

(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.

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.

Part If Austin had $40 in his bag, how many pens could Austin buy at most" Explain how you found the answer in the space below.

Answers

Answer:

3 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Total expenditure (Price x Quantity) on pens & pencils = $30

Let pen quantity be = x , Let pencil quantity be = y

Given : Pen (x) price = 5 , Pencil (y) price = 1.5 , Pencils (y) = Pen (x) + 5

So, 5x + 1.5y = 30

5x + 1.5 (x + 5) = 30  → 5x + 1.5x + 7.5 = 30  → 6.5x + 7.5 = 30

6.5x = 30 - 7.5  → 6.5x = 22.5

x = 22.5 / 6.5 → x = 3.46  ≈ 3 pens

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?

Answers

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.
