According to a report released by CIBC entitled "Women Entrepreneurs: Leading the Charge," the average age for Canadian businesswomen in 2008 was 41. In the report, there was some indication that researchers believed that this mean age will increase. Suppose now, a few years later, business researchers in Canada want to test to determine if, indeed, the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased. The researchers randomly sample 97 Canadian businesswomen and ascertain that the sample mean age is 43.4. From past experience, it is known that the population standard deviation is 8.95. Test to determine if the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased using a 1% level of significance. What is the p-value for this test? What is the decision? If the null hypothesis is rejected, is the result substantive?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to a report released by CIBC entitled "Women Entrepreneurs: Leading the Charge," the average age for Canadian businesswomen in 2008 was 41.

The researchers randomly sample 97 Canadian businesswomen and ascertain that the sample mean age is 43.4. From past experience, it is known that the population standard deviation is 8.95.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean age of Canadian businesswomen.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 41      {means that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has decreased or remained same}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 41     {means that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z-test statistics because we know about population standard deviation;

                               T.S. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean age of Canadian businesswomen = 43.4

             [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 8.95

             n = sample of Canadian businesswomen = 97

So, the test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{43.4-41}{\frac{8.95}{\sqrt{97} } }[/tex]

                                     =  2.64

The value of z test statistic is 2.64.

Also, P-value of the test statistics is given by;

             P-value = P(Z > 2.64) = 1 - P(Z < 2.64)

                           = 1 - 0.99585 = 0.00415

Now, at 1% significance level the z table gives critical value of 2.33 for right-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of z as 2.64 > 2.33, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean age of Canadian businesswomen has increased.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction. One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other. If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane.

Answers

Answer:

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

The speed of the first plane is x.

The speed of the second plane is y.

One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other.

I will say that y = 2x. We could also say that x = 2y.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction

They fly in the same direction, so their relative speed(difference) at the end of each hour is y - x = 2x - x = x.

If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane

After 1 hour, they will be x km apart. After 4, 1800. So

1 hour - x km apart

4 hours - 1800 km apart

4x = 1800

x = 1800/4

x = 450

2x = 2*450 = 900

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

A spinner is divided into 8 equal sections, and each section contains a number from 1 to 8. What is the probability of the spinner landing on 5? A. 1 over 13 B.1 over 8 C.5 over 13 D.5 over 8 PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

B.   1 over 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the probability of the spinner landing on 5, we need to first know what probability is,

probability = required outcome/all possible outcome

since the spinner is divided into 8 equal sections and each section contains number from 1-8, this implies there are total of 64 numbers on the spinner.  This implies that all possible outcome = 64

In each section there is 5, since there are 8 sections on the spinner, the number of 5's on the spinner are 8.

This implies that the required outcome = 8

but

probability = required outcome/all possible outcome

probability (of the spinner landing on 5) = 8/64    =1/8

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over the age of 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly less than 0.3. A random sample of 735 men over the age of 50 found that 203 have their prostate regularly examined. Do the sample data provide convincing evidence to support the claim

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information to given

n=735 represent the random sample taken

X=203 represent the number of people who have their prostate regularly examined

[tex]\hat p=\frac{203}{735}=0.276[/tex] estimated proportion of people who have their prostate regularly examined  

[tex]p_o=0.3[/tex] is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true proportion is less than 0.3, the ystem of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.3[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.3[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Linear; $672.00
Exponential; $376.32
Linear; $372.00

Answers

Answer:

  Exponential; $376.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, an increase of 12% in a month means the prices are 12% more than they were in the previous month. That is, the value has been multiplied by 1.12.

The same would be true for the second month, so the overall multiplier for the two months is ...

  (1.12)(1.12) = 1.12^2 = 1.2544

This makes the food bill for the second month amount to ...

  1.2544 × $300 = $376.32

_____

As with all percentages, you need to be clear about what base is being used. Here, we have assumed the base for a monthly increase is the value at the beginning of the month.

If, instead, it is the value at the beginning of the year, then the increase is linear, not exponential. 12% of the value at the beginning of the year is the same throughout the year.

Points: (0, -3) and (-5, -4)Line: y= mx+bSlope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-4+3)/(-5-0)= -1/-5= 1/5Y-intercept: -3= 0*1/5+b ⇒ b= -3So the line is: y= 1/5x - 3

Parallel line to this has same slope and passes through the point (-2, 2)

Its y- intercept is: 2= 1/5(-2)+b ⇒ b= 2+2/5= 12/5

The required equation in slope- intercept form is:

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions. Each question has five choices. The student guesses randomly at each answer. Let X be the number of questions answered correctly. (a) Find P (6). (b) Find P (More than 3). Round the answers to at least four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

a) P(6) = 0.0097

b) P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is guessed correctly, or it is not. Questions are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions.

This means that [tex]n = 11[/tex]

Each question has five choices.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

(a) Find P (6)

This is P(X = 6).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{11,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0097[/tex]

P(6) = 0.0097

(b) Find P (More than 3).

Either P is 3 or less, or it is more than three. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

[tex]P(X \leq 3) + P(X > 3) = 1[/tex]

We want P(X > 3). So

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{11,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{11} = 0.0859[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{11,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.2362[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2953[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{11,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.2215[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0859 + 0.2362 + 0.2953 + 0.2215 = 0.8389[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.8389 = 0.1611[/tex]

P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Alligators captured in Florida are found to have a mean length of 2 meters and a standard deviation of 0.35 meters. The lengths of alligators are believed to be approximately normally distributed. What percent of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters?

Answers

Answer:

28.43% of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 2, \sigma = 0.35[/tex]

What percent of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.2. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{2.2 - 2}{0.35}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.57[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.57[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7157

1 - 0.7157 = 0.2843

28.43% of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters
