According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses.

Answers

Answer 1

Testing the hypothesis, it is found that since the p-value of the test is of 0.3015, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05, the data does not provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 23%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.23[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if this proportion is lower than 23%, that is:

[tex]H_1: p < 0.23[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

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

In which:

[tex]\overline{p}[/tex] is the sample proportion. p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis. n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are: [tex]p = 0.23, n = 1432, \overline{p} = \frac{321}{1432} = 0.2242[/tex]

Then, the value of the test statistic is:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.2242 - 0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(0.77)}{1432}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -0.52[/tex]

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion of 0.2242 or below, which is the p-value of z = -0.52.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.52 has a p-value of 0.3015.

Since the p-value of the test is of 0.3015, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05, the data does not provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%.

The ratios that have the same constant of proportionality as Hilary's observation are 4:6 and 8:12.

Hilary's observation states that he needs 2 cups of glue for every 3 cups of water. This can be represented as the ratio 2:3.

Now, let's compare this ratio to the given options:

4:6 = 2:3

Same ratio, same constant of proportionality.

3:6 = 1:2

Different ratio, not the same constant of proportionality.

3:12 = 1:4

Different ratio, not the same constant of proportionality.

8:12 = 2:3

Same ratio, same constant of proportionality.

So, the ratios that have the same constant of proportionality as Hilary's observation are 4:6 and 8:12.

A high school track team's long jump record is 22 ft 6 3/4in. This year, Arthur's best long jump is 21 ft 10 1/2in. If long jumps are measured to the nearest quarter inch, how much farther must
Arthur jump to break the record?
To beat the school long jump record,

Arthur must jump an additional ___inches.

(Type a whole number, fraction, or mixed number.)

Answers

Arthur must jump an additional 8.25 inches so as to break the record.

1 foot =  12 inches

Long jump record = 22 ft 6 3/4in = 22 ft 6.75 in = (22ft * 12 in per ft) + 6.75 in

Long jump record = 270.75 in

Arthur's long jump record = 21 ft 10 1/2in = 21 ft 10.5 in = (21ft * 12 in per ft) + 10.5 in

Arthur's long jump record = 262.5 ft.

To break the record, the distance needed to be jump by Arthur = 270.75 in - 262.5 ft. = 8.25 in

Arthur must jump an additional 8.25 inches so as to break the record.

Step-by-step explanation:

can someone write −4 and (6, 4) in standard form. -4 is the slope. I need it as one answer.

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

yeah-ya........ right?

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the standard form for your teacher ?

because that is absolutely not agreed on worldwide (and even between teacher and teacher in the same region).

there are 2 main forms :

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope. and is here -4.

b is the y-intercept (the point, where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning the y value when x=0).

we get b by using the point coordinates in the half finished equation :

4 = -4×6 + b = -24 + b

28 = b

so, the equation is

y = -4x + 28

the general slope point form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where a (often called m) is again the slope, and x1, y1 are the coordinates of a given point.

so, we have

y - 4 = -4(x - 6)

In what time will $1000 amount to $1331 at 10% per annum, compounded annually?​

Answers

The time is 3 years


Step by step explanation:
Answer:

3 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is a multiplier that affects the new value each time.

If the compound interest is 10% per annum, the multiplier each year is 1.1.

Year 1: $1000 * 1.1 = $1100

Year 2: $1100* 1.1 = $1210

Year 3: $1210* 1.1 = $1331

This means that it will take 3 years for $1000 to amount to $1331 at 10% per annum.

Alternatively, you can use a logarithm. The calculation can be written as:

1000 * [tex]1.1^n[/tex] = 1331, where n is the number of years.

Rearranged, this gives [tex]1.1^n[/tex] = 1331/1000 or [tex]1.1^n[/tex] = 1.331.

A logarithm can work out the value of n, and is written in the form log1.1(1.331), which gives a value of 3.
