Complete Question
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, citizens remain unemployed for an average of 15.9 weeks before finding their next job (June, 2008). Suppose you want to show that Louisiana has been effective in getting their unemployed back to work sooner. You take a random sample of 50 citizens who were unemployed six months earlier and ask them to report the duration. You find that the average time spent unemployed was 13.4 weeks with a sample standard deviation of the time unemployed is 6.7 weeks.
1 Which of the following statements is the correct alternative hypothesis?
2 The test statistic for testing the hypothesis is
a. -2.64
b. -2.32
c. -2.11
d. -1.28
e. none of these are correct
Answer:
1
The alternative hypothesis
2
The test statistics
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean value for time citizens remain unemployed is
The sample size is n = 50
The sample standard deviation is 6.7 weeks.
The sample mean value for time citizens remain unemployed is
The null hypothesis is
The alternative hypothesis
Generally test statistics is mathematically represented as

Answer:
a) 0.70
b) 0.82
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
Let M be the event that student get merit scholarship and A be the event that student get athletic scholarship.
P(M)=0.3
P(A)=0.6
P(M∩A)=0.08
P(not getting merit scholarships)=P(M')=?
P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-P(M)
P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-0.3
P(not getting merit scholarships)=0.7
The probability that student not get the merit scholarship is 70%.
b)
P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M or A)=P(M∪A)
P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M)+P(A)-P(M∩A)
P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.3+0.6-0.08
P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.9-0.08
P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.82
The probability that student gets at least one of two scholarships is 82%.
Answer:
The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Experiment:
A coin is Toss
Let the Sample Space be 'S' that is total number of outcomes for a coin has been tossed = { Head, Tail }
∴ n ( S ) = 2
Let A be the event of getting a Head on tossing a coin i.e { Head }
∴ n( A ) = 1
Now,
Substituting the values we get
The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %
