For a large supermarket chain in a particularâ state, aâ women's group claimed that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues. The company denied thisâ claim, saying it picked the employees from the eligible pool at random to receive this training.â Statewide, the large pool of more than 100 eligible employees who can be tapped for management training is 40â% female and 60â% male. Since this programâ began, 35 of the 50 employees chosen for management training were male and 15 were female.
Complete parts (a) and (b).
(a) Is there sufficient evidence to support the women's claim?
(b) Compute a 95% confidence interval and write your conclusions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1) As the P-value (0.097) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the women's claim that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

2) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.173, 0.427).

The populations proportion (π=0.4) is included in this confidence interval, so the claim has no enough evidence to be supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

We use the women's part for sample and population proportions.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \pi=0.4\\\\H_a:\pi<0.4[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=50 persons.

The sample proportion is p=0.3.

[tex]p=X/n=15/50=0.3[/tex]

The standard error of the proportion is:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.4*0.6}{50}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0048}=0.069[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.3-0.4+0.5/50}{0.069}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.069}=-1.299[/tex]

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

[tex]\text{P-value}=P(z<-1.299)=0.097[/tex]

As the P-value (0.097) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

b) We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.3.

The standard error of the proportion is:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3*0.7}{50}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0042}=0.0648[/tex]

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0648=0.127[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.3-0.127=0.173\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.3+0.127=0.427[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.173, 0.427).

The populations proportion (π=0.4) is included in this confidence interval, so the claim has no enough evidence to be supported.

Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50 a plus 3.75 b equals 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold?

Answers

Answer:

168 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the amount of students by the cost of the student ticket (82 times 3.75) which equals 307.5 . Subtract that from the total amount earned (2071.5) and you get 1764. Divide that by the cost of an adult ticket (10.50), and you'll get the amount of adults who attended, which is 168.

An automobile battery manufacturer offers a 31/54 warranty on its batteries. The first number in the warranty code is the free-replacement period; the second number is the prorated-credit period. Under this warranty, if a battery fails within 31 months of purchase, the manufacturer replaces the battery at no charge to the consumer. If the battery fails after 31 months but within 54 months, the manufacturer provides a prorated credit toward the purchase of a new battery. The manufacturer assumes that X, the lifetime of its auto batteries, is normally distributed with a mean of 45 months and a standard deviation of 5.6 months.

1. If the manufacturer's assumptions are correct, it would reed to replace _______ of its batteries free.2. The company finds that it is replacing 1.07% of its batteries free of charge. It suspects that its assumption standard deviation of the life of its batteries is incorrect. A standard deviation of ____ results in a 1.07% replacement rate.3. Using the revised standard deviation for battery life, what percentage of the manufacturer's batteries don't free replacement but do qualify for the prorated credit?

Answers

Answer:

1) If the manufacturer's assumptions are correct, it would reed to replace 0.621% of its batteries free

2) The company finds that it is replacing 1.07% of its batteries free of charge. It suspects that its assumption standard deviation of the life of its batteries is incorrect. A standard deviation of 6.084 results in a 1.07% replacement rate

3) Using the revised standard deviation for battery life, the percentage of the manufacturer's batteries that don't qualify for free replacement but do qualify for the prorated credit = 92%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean = μ = 45 months

Standard deviation = σ = 5.6 months.

Batteries that fail within the first 31 months get a free replacement and batteries that fail after 31 months but within 54 months get a prorated credit toward the purchase of a new battery.

1) Percentage of batteries that'll qualify for a replacement are the batteries that fail within 31 months. That is, P(X ≤ 31)

To obtain this, we first normalize or standardize 31 months.

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (31 - 45)/5.6 = - 2.50

The required probability

P(X ≤ 31) = P(z ≤ -2.50)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(X ≤ 31) = P(z ≤ -2.50) = 0.00621 = 0.621%

2) The company finds that the percentage of free batteries replaced is actually 1.07%

P(X ≤ 31) = 1.07% = 0.0107

Let the z value of 31 months under this new normal distribution be z'

P(X ≤ 31) = P(z ≤ z') = 0.0107

From the normal distribution table,

z' = -2.301

z' = (x - μ)/σ

-2.301 = (31 - 45)/σ

σ = (-14) ÷ (-2.301) = 6.084 months

3) Using the revised standard deviation for battery life, what percentage of the manufacturer's batteries don't free replacement but do qualify for the prorated credit?

That is, P(31 < X ≤ 54)

We first normalize 31 and 54 using the revised standard deviation

For 31

z = (x - μ)/σ = (31 - 45)/6.084 = - 2.30

For 54

z = (x - μ)/σ = (54 - 45)/6.084 = 1.48

The required probability = P(31 < X ≤ 54)

= P(-2.30 < z ≤ 1.48)

Using the normal distribution tables

P(31 < X ≤ 54) = P(-2.30 < z ≤ 1.48)

= P(z ≤ 1.48) - P(z < -2.30)

= 0.93056 - 0.0107

= 0.91986 = 91.986% = 92% to nearest whole number.

Let A, P, and D by n x n matrices. Mark each statement true or false. Justify each answer.

O The statement is true because the columns of P are the n linearly independent eigenvectors of A.
O The statement is false because A must have n distinct eigenvalues for the matrix D and P to exist.
O The statement is true because if A = PDP^-1, then A is diagonalizable by definition.
O The statement is false because the symbol D does not automatically denote a diagonal matrix.

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer is the 4th answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a matrix is called diagonalizable if there exists some invertible matrix P and a diagonal matrix D such that AP = PD, which is equivalent to having A = PDP^-1.

We are not told that D is a diagonal matrix, hence, it could be any matrix. If A=PDP^-1 for some matrix D that is not diagonal, it doesn't imply that A is diagonalizable. Consider the following case: Let us take A a non diagonalizable matrix. Take D = A and P = identity matrix of size n. Then, this equation holds, but A is still not diagonalizable.

How are the functions f (x) = 16 Superscript x and g (x) = 16 Superscript one-half x related

Answers

Answer:

  g(x) is f(x) expanded horizontally by a factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  f(x) = 16^x

  g(x) = 16^(x/2)

__

Replacing x in a function with x/k expands the graph horizontally by a factor of k. Here, it seems we have ...

  g(x) = f(x/2)

so g(x) is a horizontal expansion of f(x) by a factor of 2.

Answer:

[tex] y- y_o = m(x-x_o) [/tex]

For this case m represent the slope and is given by [tex]m= g'(4) = 2[/tex] and from the other condition given we know that [tex] x_o = 4, y_o =-3[/tex]. And replacing we got:

[tex] y -(-3) = 2 (x-4)[/tex]

And if we reorganize the terms we have:

[tex] y+3 = 2x -8[/tex]

And subtracting 3 in both sides we got:

[tex] y = 2x -11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function y=g(x) and we want to find the tangent line to this function using the conditions: [tex] g(4) =-3, g'(4)=2[/tex]

So we need a function like this one:

[tex] y- y_o = m(x-x_o) [/tex]

For this case m represent the slope and is given by [tex]m= g'(4) = 2[/tex] and from the other condition given we know that [tex] x_o = 4, y_o =-3[/tex]. And replacing we got:

[tex] y -(-3)=2(x-4)[/tex]

And if we reorganize the terms we have:

[tex] y+3 = 2x -8[/tex]

And subtracting 3 in both sides we got:

[tex] y = 2x -11[/tex]
