A social scientist is interested in determining if there is a significant difference in the proportion of Republicans between tw

o areas of town. He takes independent random samples of 200 families in each area of town and a significance test was conducted. The p-value was 0.0156. What should be our conclusions?

Answer:

Given

p-value = 0.0156

n = 200 families

Our conclusion goes as follows:

The statistical evidence is pretty strong enough to conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of Republicans between the two areas of town because we know that small p­-value indicates significant differences, and a p­value of 0.0156 is pretty small to ascertain our conclusion.

Answer:

Given a p-value of 0.0156

n= 200

Since the p-value(0.0156) is less than 0.05, we can conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of republicans in the two areas.

A small p-value indicates significant difference and a p-value that is less than or equals (≤) 0.05 is small. In this case, the p-value 0.0156 is quite small. Therefore, we can say there is a significant difference.

The sun subtend an angle at 35degree from the centre of the earth whose distant from the centre of the earth is 382,100km. Find
Sonbull [250]

Study the figure attached below:

Answer:

240951.33km      

Step-by-step explanation:

For this type of question first we need to draw the figure as shown in the attached file (Figure.1).

Looking at the figure, we can see that triangle ABC is formed by bisecting the angle 35 degree (i.e. if the angle is bisected, it will divide into two equal parts, so 35 degree will divide into two equal parts of 17.5 degree).

As the triangle ABC is a right triangle, so we can use the trigonometric ratios to find the diameter of the sun.

tan(\theta )= \frac{perpendicular}{Base}

In the triangle ABC, perpendicular (opposite side to \theta ) is BC and base (Adjacent side) is AC

tan(\theta)=\frac{BC}{AC}

\theta=17.5 degree

AC=382100km

Putting the values, we get

tan(17.5)=\frac{BC}{382100}\\ \\BC=tan(17.5)*382100km\\\\BC=0.315*382100km\\\\BC=120475.66km

Diameter=d=2*Radius

As BC is the distance from center of the sun, it is the radius, so we can find the diameter if we multiply it by 2.

Diameter of the sun=d=2*120475.66km

The\ diameter\ of\ the\ sun\ = 240951.33km

Suppose that in one region of the country the mean amount of credit card debt perhousehold in households having credit card debt
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

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

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

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 15250, \sigma = 7125, n = 1600, s = \frac{7125}{\sqrt{1600}} = 178.125

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 + 300 = 1900 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 - 300 = 1300. So

X = 1900

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{1900 - 1600}{178.125}

Z = 1.68

Z = 1.68 has a pvalue of 0.9535.

X = 1300

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{1300 - 1600}{178.125}

Z = -1.68

Z = -1.68 has a pvalue of 0.0465.

0.9535 - 0.0465 = 0.907.

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

A pair of sunglasses is on sale for $26. The original price of the sunglasses was $40. What percent of the original price is the
GarryVolchara [31]
If the glasses were origanum 40, and were on sale for 26,we minus them from eachother to find out how much money was saved. So 40-26= 14, if $14 was saved we put 14 over the original price and times it buy 100 14/40x100= 35% So 35% was saved. 100-35= 65. Therefore 65% of the original price was paid and 35% was saved.
