A large restaurant is being sued for age discrimination because 15% of newly hired candidates are between the ages of 30 years a

nd 50 years when 50% of all applicants were in that age bracket. You plan to use hypothesis testing to determine whether there is significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take P as the proportion of new candidates between 30 years and 50 years

A) The null and alternative hypotheses:

H0 : p = 0.5

H1: p < 0.5

b) Type I error, is an error whereby the null hypothesis, H0 is rejected although it is true. Here, the type I error will be to conclude that there was age discrimination in the hiring process, whereas it was fair and random.

ie, H0: p = 0.5, then H0 is rejected.

Ms. Banerjee bought a car for $22,500. The amount she paid for her new car was twice the amount she paid for her previous car, w
bagirrra123 [75]

You didn't say if the car bought is the new car or the old car so I'm assuming the car bought for $22,500 is the new car.

You divide 22,500 by 2 to get the cost of the old car. When you do this, you find out the old car costed $11,250.

the equation is 22,500/2=p


If $22,500 is the cost of the old car, then it's not my fault that the poster did not make it clear. If the previous car costed $22,500, then the previous car costed $22,500

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

p-value (0.0208) is less than alpha = 0.05 reject H0.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the following data:

sample size = n = 75

x, the number to evaluate is 45

the sample proportion would be: x / n = 45/75

p * = 0.6

Now, the null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0: P = 0.72

Ha: P no 72

two tailed test

statistic tes = z = (p * - p) / [(p * (1-p) / n)] ^ (1/2)

replacing we have:

z = (0.6 - 0.72) / [(0.72 * (1-0.72) / 75)] ^ (1/2)

z = -2.31

p-vaule = 2 * p (z <-2.31)

using z table, we get:

p-vaule = 2 * (0.0104)

p-vaule = 0.0208

Therefore, p-value (0.0208) is less than alpha = 0.05 reject H0.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

17.262 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming they are cutting through using the hypotenuse, the distance they save is x+4+x-42, and is thus 2x-38.

The triangle can be solved using pythag to find the exact distance.

Finger [1]

Answer:

C. 6 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you means he uses 3/4 gallon for 1 room.

This is a division problem. Divide the amount of paint he has by the amount he uses to paint one room.

(4 1/2)/(3/4) = (9/2)/(3/4) = 9/2 * 4/3 = 36/6 = 6

Answer: 6 rooms
