Patrick’s luck had changed over night – but not his skill at mathematical reasoning. The day after graduating from college he used the $20 that his grandmother had given him as a graduation gift to buy a lottery ticket. He knew his chances of winning the lottery were extremely low and it probably was not a good way to spend this money. But he also remembered from the class he took in business analytics that bad decisions some-times result in good outcomes. So he said to himself, "What the heck? Maybe this bad decision will be the one with a good outcome." And with that thought, he bought his lottery ticket.The next day Patrick pulled the crumpled lottery ticket out of the back pocket of his bluejeans and tried to compare his numbers to the winning numbers printed in the paper. When his eyes finally came into focus on the numbers they also just about popped out of his head. He had a winning ticket! In the ensuing days he learned that his share of the jackpot would give him a lump sum payout of about $500,000 after taxes. He knew what he was going to do with part of the money, buy a new car, pay off his college loans, and send his grandmother on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii. But he also knew that he couldn’t continue to hope for good outcomes to arise from more bad decisions. So he decided to take half of his winnings and invest it for his retirement. So what do you think? Who is right, Josh or Peyton? And more important, why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I assume Josh and Peyton are his friends and both gave him advice on what to do with half of the money from the big lottery win.

Let's say Josh said "save it or invest it for your retirement" and Peyton said "use it to keep playing the lottery.

We will now look at the sense in each piece of advice!

Step-by-step explanation:

JOSH

By investing the $250,000 (half of the money won), Patrick will be sure that the money is available for him anytime and would even have gotten interest, by the time he's ready to use it.

PEYTON

By playing the lottery continuously, Patrick could get lucky once in a while and win big again. How big though?

Analyzing with the figures given,

$20 gets Patrick a lottery ticket.

$250,000 will get him 12,500 lottery tickets!

Whether he's buying the tickets at once or he'll play the lottery once in a while, I'll say he has good chances of winning big again.

So if the probability of winning big after purchasing up to 12,500 tickets is close to 1, Patrick should play the lottery with the $250,000

If the probability of winning big after purchasing 12,500 lottery tickets is close to 0 (closer to 0 than it is to 1) then Patrick should invest the $250,000 in retirement.

Answer:

3u-2v = [tex]\sqrt{505\\}[/tex]

5u-v = [tex]\sqrt{1,157}[/tex]

2u-3v = [tex]\sqrt{1,300}[/tex]

u+4v = [tex]\sqrt{4,505}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by doing the results for each of the operations given.

3u-2v:

3u = (-9, 24)       2v = (-28, 12)

Do the operation of 3u-2v and you get a resultant vector of (19, 12).

You calculate this by doing the square root of 19^2 + 12^2, which is the square root of 505.

5u-v:

5u = (-15, 40)       v = (-14, 6)

Do the operation of 5u-v and you get a resultant vector of (-1, 34).

You calculate this by doing the square root of (-1)^2 + 34^2, which is the square root of 1,157.

2u-3v:

2u = (-6, 16)   3v = (-42, 18)

Do the operation of 2u-3v and you get a resultant vector of (36, -2).

You calculate this by doing the square root of 36^2 + (-2)^2, which is the square root of 1,300.

3u+2v:

3u = (-9, 24)       2v = (-28, 12)

Do the operation of 3u+2v and you get a resultant vector of (-37, 36).

You calculate this by doing the square root of (-37)^2 + 36^2, which is the square root of 2,665. This is not a given tile, so we can just ignore this one.

u+4v:

u = (-3, 8)       4v = (-56, 24)

Do the operation of u+4v and you get a resultant vector of (-59, 32).

You calculate this by doing the square root of (-59)^2 + 32^2, which is the square root of 4,505.

Since this is a given tile, I didn't do 7u-2v, but you would use the same methodology.

Suppose that a researcher is planning a new study on hemoglobin levels amongst women under 25 years old. Previous research suggest that the standard deviation of hemoglobin is 0.7 g/dl. In the new study the research wants to have the standard error for the sample mean to be no more than 0.05 g/dl. Find the required sample size for the new study.

Answers

Answer:

A sample size of at least 531 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are lacking the confidence level to solve this question, so i am going to use a 90% confidence level.

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Find the required sample size for the new study.

A sample size of at least n is required.

n is found when [tex]M = 0.05[/tex]

We have that [tex]\sigma = 0.7[/tex]

So

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05 = 1.645*\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.7[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.7}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.645*0.7}{0.05})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 530.4[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample size of at least 531 is required.

Suppose a county’s population can be approximated with the function () = 34(1.00804) where is the number of years since 2000, and is measured in millions of citizens.

Answers

Answer:

Population = 34.27336

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Population function (t) = 34(1.00804)^t

Number of year = 2000

Find:

Number of citizen in year 2000

Computation:

We know that, base year is 2000

So, t = 1

Population function (t) = 34(1.00804)^t

Population function (1) = 34(1.00804)^1

Population = 34(1.00804)

Population = 34.27336

Therefore, Population is 34.273636 million

Based on aâ poll, among adults who regret gettingâ tattoos, 18â% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomlyâ selected, and find the indicated probability. Complete partsâ (a) throughâ (d) below.

a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
d. It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?

Answers

Answer:

a) 20.44% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b) 35.90% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c) 56.34% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

d) No

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say they were too young when they got their tattoos, or they don't say that. Each adult is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

18% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.

This means that [tex]p = 0.18[/tex]

Eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected

This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

This is P(X = 0).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.18)^{0}.(0.82)^{8} = 0.2044[/tex]

20.44% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

This is P(X = 1).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.18)^{1}.(0.82)^{7} = 0.3590[/tex]

35.90% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

Either a. or b.

20.44 + 35.90 = 56.34

56.34% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

d. It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?

Now [tex]n = 9[/tex]

It is significantly low if it is more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean.

The mean is [tex]E(X) = np = 9*0.18 = 1.62[/tex]

The standard deviation is [tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} = \sqrt{9*0.18*0.82} = 1.15[/tex]

1 > (1.62 - 2.5*1.15)

So the answer is no.

Rebecca Pearson is a widow and needs to take care of the expenses in her household. Her budget is below.

Find her net monthly cash flow. (Assume 1 month = 4 weeks)

Income Expenses
Salary: $2300/month



Rent: $1090/month
Groceries: $200/week
Utilities: $125/month
Car Insurance: $525 semiannually
Gasoline: $25/week
Miscellaneous: $200/month
Phone: $50/month

Answers

Hey there!

First, let's take all of the expenses and change the ones that aren't monthly into monthly.

Groceries: $800/month

Car insurance: $87.5/month

Gasoline: $100/month

Now, let's add together all of our expenses

1090+800+125+87.5+100+200+50=2452.5

Now, we subtract that from her salary.

2300-2452.5=-152.5

Therefore, Rebecca's net monthly cash flow is -$152.5. She should spend a bit less on groceries, not do so much miscellaneous, find a place that charges less rent, drive less, etc. so she isn't spending more than she earns.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

  On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0), and ends at point (2.5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distinction between "straight line" and "blue diamonds" is that the straight line represents the relation for all possible values of x. The blue diamonds show the values of y for very specific values of x.

Since x is the amount of rice from a bulk bin, we assume it can take any non-negative value. Hence, the graphs with negative values or with "blue diamonds" are not appropriate.

The straight-line graph in the first quadrant is the best choice.

9.4 5.8 8.7 5.7 9.3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the weights in ascending order, it becomes

5.4, 5.7, 5.7, 5.8, 6.0, 6.6, 7.1, 7.1, 7.5, 7.5, 8.1, 8.7, 9.3, 9.4, 9.4

The formula for determining the percentile is expressed as

n = (P/100)N

Where

n represents the value of the given percentile

P represents the given percentile

N represents the number of items(weights)

From the information given, the number of items, n is 15

P = 53

Therefore,

n = (53/100) × 15

n = 7.95

n = 8

Therefore, the weight that represents the 53rd percentile is the 8th value. It becomes 7.1

53rd percentile is 7.1

Answers

Answer:

C) The auditor may or may not achieve the desired risk of assessing control risk too low.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a concept of risk sampling, if the sample size is chosen randomly in accordance with random selection procedures, the auditor may or may not achieve the desired risk of assessing risk too low. In other words the auditor may or may not achieve desired precision. This is because a samole chosen randomly may not represent the true population.

This depends largely on the sample size. If the sample size selected is too small, the allowance for sampling risk will be larger than what is required because it will lead to a large standard error of the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Six measurements were made of the magnesium ion concentration (in parts per million, or ppm) in a city's municipal water supply, with the following results. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal.

170 201 199 202 173 153

Based on a 95% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration, is it reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5? (Hint: you should first calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean magnesium ion concentration.)

A) The likelihood cannot be determined.

B) Yes

C) No

Solution

For this question, obtaining the confidence interval will give a clear solution to the problem.

Since the Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence, if the range obtained contains values greater than the standard we are comparing against (199.5), then the confidence interval proves that the mean magnesium ion may be greater than 199.5.

But to obtain the confidence interval, we need the mean and standard deviation for the sample.

170, 201, 199, 202, 173, 153

Mean = (sum of variables)/(total number of variables)

Sum of variables = 170+201+199+202+173+153 = 1098

Total number of variables = 6

Mean = (1098/6) = 183

Standard deviation = σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

x = each variable

xbar = mean = 183

N = number of variables = 6

Σ(x - xbar)² = (170-183)² + (201-183)² + (199-183)² + (202-183)² + (173-183)² + (153-183)²

= 169 + 324 + 256 + 361 + 100 + 900

= 2110

σ = √(2110/6) = 18.75

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Sample Mean = 183

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution. This is because there is no information provided for the population mean and standard deviation.

To find the critical value from the t-tables, we first find the degree of freedom and the significance level.

Degree of freedom = df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5.

Significance level for 95% confidence interval

(100% - 95%)/2 = 2.5% = 0.025

t (0.025, 5) = 2.57 (from the t-tables)

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation of the sample = 18.75

n = sample size = 6

σₓ = (18.75/√6) = 7.656

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

CI = 183 ± (2.57 × 7.656)

CI = 183 ± 19.675

95% CI = (163.325, 202.675)

95% Confidence interval = (163.3, 202.7)

It is reasonable to believe that the mean magnesium ion concentration may be greater than 199.5 as the confidence interval obtained contains values that are greater than 199.5

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts. Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Answers

Answer:

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.

This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]

Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972[/tex]

Determine the​ value(s) of h such that the matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system. [Start 2 By 3 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 1 2nd Column 4 3rd Column negative 2 2nd Row 1st Column 3 2nd Column h 3rd Column negative 6 EndMatrix ]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the augments matrix (the right most column is  the extra vector).

[tex]\left[\begin{matrix} 1 & 4 & -2 \\3 & h & -6\end{matrix}\right][/tex]

By multypling the first row by 3 and substracting it from the second row and saving the result in the second row we get the matrix

[tex]\left[\begin{matrix} 1 & 4 & -2 \\0 & h-12 & 0\end{matrix}\right][/tex]

Note that since the value of the third column in the second row is 0, any value of h gives us a consistent system. An inconsistent system is when we get a row of zeros that is equal to a number different from 0.

For 120 consecutive days, a process engineer has measured the temperature of champagne bottles as they are made ready for serving. Each day, she took a sample of 8 bottles. The average across all 960 bottles (120 days, 8 bottles per day) was 46 degrees Fahrenheit. The standard deviation across all bottles was 0.8 degree.Round your answer to 4 digits after the decimal point if it is not an integer.

Answers

Answer:

Center line = 46

UCL = 46.84852

LCL = 45.15148

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Standard deviation = 0.8

Mean, u = 46

Sample size, n= 8

First calculate the estimated standard deviation:

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{8}} = 0.282843[/tex]

a) The center line, X', would be the average across all components. Here the average across all 960 bottles is 46

Therefore,

[tex] X' = 46 [/tex]

b) The upper control limit, UCL:

UCL = u + 3s

= 46 + 3(0.28284)

= 46 + 0.84852

= 46.84852

c) The upper control limit, LCL:

LCL = u + 3s

= 46 - 3(0.28284)

= 46 - 0.84853

= 45.15148

Sidney made $35 less than four times Casey’s weekly salary. If x represents Casey’s weekly salary, write an expression for Sidney’s weekly salary.

Answers

Answer:  [tex]y=4x-35[/tex]

y = Sidney’s weekly salary

x = Casey’s weekly salary

Answer: y=4x-35

x is Casey's salary

Y is Sidney's salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Sidney makes a quarter of Casey,

y=4x,

Then it also states that he makes 35 less than the first equation.

Therefore,

Y=4x-35

Blood types: The blood type o negative is called the "universal donor" type, because it is the only blood type that may safely be transfused into any person
Therefore, when someone needs a transfusion in an emergency and their blood type cannot be determined, they are given type o negative blood. For this
reason, donors with this blood type are crucial to blood banks. Unfortunately, this blood type is fairly rare; according to the Red Cross, only 7% of U.S.
residents have type o negative blood. Assume that a blood bank has recruited 18 donors. Round the answers to four decimal places

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability that fewer than five of them have type o negative blood is 0.1275

b) The probability that fewer than five of them have type o negative blood is 0.9933

c) 0.2708 probability of no donors with type o negative blood. This probability is higher than 0.05, so it would not be unusual having none of the donors with type o negative blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have type o negative blood, or they do not. The probability of a person having type o negative blood is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

7% of U.S. residents have type o negative blood.

This means that [tex]p = 0.07[/tex]

18 donors.

This means that [tex]n = 18[/tex]

(a) What is the probability that three or more of them have type o negative blood?

Either less than three have, or at least three do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

[tex]P(X < 3) + P(X \geq 3) = 1[/tex]

We want [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.07)^{0}.(0.93)^{18} = 0.2708[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.07)^{1}.(0.93)^{17} = 0.3669[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{18,2}.(0.07)^{2}.(0.93)^{16} = 0.2348[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2708 + 0.3669 + 0.2348 = 0.8725[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.8725 = 0.1275[/tex]

The probability that fewer than five of them have type o negative blood is 0.1275

(b) What is the probability that fewer than five of them have type o negative blood?

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.07)^{0}.(0.93)^{18} = 0.2708[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.07)^{1}.(0.93)^{17} = 0.3669[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{18,2}.(0.07)^{2}.(0.93)^{16} = 0.2348[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{18,3}.(0.07)^{3}.(0.93)^{15} = 0.0942[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{18,4}.(0.07)^{4}.(0.93)^{14} = 0.0266[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.2708 + 0.3669 + 0.2348 + 0.0942 + 0.0266 = 0.9933[/tex]

The probability that fewer than five of them have type o negative blood is 0.9933.

c) Would it be unusual f none of the donors had type o negative blood?

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.07)^{0}.(0.93)^{18} = 0.2708[/tex]

0.2708 probability of no donors with type o negative blood. This probability is higher than 0.05, so it would not be unusual having none of the donors with type o negative blood.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a banned drug used by athletes to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of their blood. New tests for EPO were first introduced prior to the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney, Australia. Chance (Spring 2004) reported that of a sample of 830 world-class athletes, 159 did not compete in the 1999 World Championships (a year prior to the new EPO test). Similarly, 133 of 82:5 potential athletes did not compete in the 2000 Olympic Games. Was the new test effective in deterring an athlete's participation in the 2000 Olympics? If so, then the proportion of nonparticipating athletes in 2000 will be greater than the proportion of nonparticipating athletes in 1999, Use a 98% confidence interval to compare the two proportions and make the proper conclusion.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be define as  follows,

Null Hypothesis; There is no significance difference between the proportions of non participating athletes in 1999 and 2000

[tex]H_0:(p_1-p_2)\neq 0[/tex]

Alternative Hypothesis: The proportion of non participating  athletes in  2000 will be more than the proportion of non participating athletes in 1999

[tex]H_1:(p_1-p_2)<0[/tex]

The proportion of nonparticipating athletes in 1999 is given by

[tex]\hat p_1 = \frac{x_1}{n_1} \\\\=\frac{159}{830} =0.1916[/tex]

The proportion of nonparticipating athletes in 2000 is given by

[tex]\hat p_2 =\frac{x_2}{n_1} \\\\=\frac{133}{825} =0.1612[/tex]

The pooled proportion can be calculated using the following formula

[tex]\hat p = \frac{x_1+x_2}{n_1+n_2} \\\\=\frac{159+133}{830+825} =0.1764[/tex]

under the null hypothesis, the test statistics can be calculated as follows

[tex]Z=\frac{\hat p_1 - \hat p_2}{\sqrt{\hat p \hat q(\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} ) } }[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.1916-0.1612}{\sqrt{(0.1764)(0.8236)(\frac{1}{830} +\frac{1}{825} )} } \\\\=1.6257[/tex]

Determine the P-value using the following formula

P-value = Normdist(1.6257)

=0.947993

Here, it can be observed that the P-value is greater than the level of the significance,

Hence, the null hypothesis fails to be rejected

Therefore it can be concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support that the proportions of non participating athletes in 2000 will be more than the proportions of non participating athletes in 1999

Though Japan's imperial system is thousands of years old,Japanese emperors had very little power during the 17th,18th, and 19th centuries. In 1867, a series of events knownas the Meiji restoration returned control of Japan to itsemperor. Powerful Japanese emperors led amodernization program in Japan that allowed it to becomewealthy and powerful during the 20th century. TheJapanese Empire used its military power to conquer Korea,Vietnam, parts of China, and other territories in SoutheastAsia during this period.
