In a study on the fertility of married women conducted by Martin O’Connell and Carolyn C. Rogers for the Census Bureau in 1979,

two groups of childless wives aged 25 to 29 were selected at random, and each was asked if she eventually planned to have a child. One group was selected from among wives married less than two years and the other from among wives married five years. Suppose that 240 of the 300 wives married less than two years planned to have children some day compared to 288 of the 400 wives married five years. Can we conclude that the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years? Make use of a P -value.

Answer:

we cannot conclude hat the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study on the fertility of married women conducted by Martin O’Connell and Carolyn C. Rogers for the Census Bureau in 1979, two groups of childless wives aged 25 to 29 were selected at random, and each was asked if she eventually planned to have a child. One group was selected from among wives married less than two years and the other from among wives married five years.

Let X be the group married less than 2 years and Y less than 5 years

                         X        Y     Total

Sample size   300   300    600

Favouring       240   288    528

p                      0.8     0.96  0.88

H_0: p_x=p_y\\H_a: p_x>p_y

p difference = -0.16

Std error for difference = \sqrt{0.88*0.12/600} =0.01327

Test statistic = p difference/std error=-6.03

p value <0.000001

Since p is less than alpha 0.05 we cannot conclude hat the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years

Suppose that a manager is interested in estimating the average amount of money customers spend in her store. After sampling 36 t
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: Which statement gives a valid interpretation of the interval?

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by the 36 sampled customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that the mean amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that a randomly selected customer will spend between S38.01 and $44.29.

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Sammie bought just enough fencing to border either a rectangular plot or a square plot, as shown. The perimeters of the plots ar
Gekata [30.6K]
Perimeter of square : p = 4a.....
p = 4(x + 2)
p = 4x + 8

perimeter of rectangle : p = 2(L + W)
p = 2(3x + 2 + x - 1)
p = 2(4x + 1)
p = 8x + 2

so if the perimeters are te same, lets set them equal to each other and solve for x

4x + 8 = 8x + 2
8 - 2 = 8x - 4x
6 = 4x
6/4 = x
1.5 = x

the square : p = 4x + 8.....p = 4(1.5) + 8.....p = 14 meters
the rectangle : p = 8x + 2....p = 8(1.5) + 2.....p = 14 meters

so she bought 14 meters of fencing <==

Answer:

the graph shift down 135 units

Step-by-step explanation:

when there is no fixing cost:

f(x)=12x-1400

when there is fixing cost (0ne time): 12x-(1400+135)

the graph shift down 135 units

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr
malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

A = \frac {b * h} {2}

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

b = 6 + 2h

Substituting we have:

88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0

We divide between 2 on both sides:

h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

(h + 11) (h-8) = 0

We have two roots:

h = -11\\h = 8

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is:b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.
