Would you favor spending more federal tax money on the arts? Of a random sample of n1 = 222 women, r1 = 51 responded yes. Another random sample of n2 = 174 men showed that r2 = 49 responded yes. Does this information indicate a difference (either way) between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts? Use = 0.05.

The p-value of the test is 0.242 > 0.05, which means that this information does not indicate a difference between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Women:

51 out of 222, so:

$p_1 = \frac{51}{222} = 0.2297$

$s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.2297*0.7703}{222}} = 0.0282$

Men:

49 out of 174, so:

$p_2 = \frac{49}{174} = 0.2816$

$s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.2816*0.7184}{174}} = 0.0341$

Does this information indicate a difference (either way) between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts?

Either way, so a two tailed test to see if the difference of proportions is different of 0.

At the null hypothesis, we test if it is not different of 0, so:

H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if it is different of 0, so:

$H_1: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0$

From the samples:

X = p_1 - p_2 = 0.2297 - 0.2816 = -0.0519

$s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.0282^2+0.0341^2} = 0.0442$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$z = \frac{-0.0519 - 0}{0.0442}$

z = -1.17

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of the differences being of at least 0.0519, either way, which is P(|z| > 1.17), that is, 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -1.17.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.17 has a p-value of 0.121.

0.121*2 = 0.242

Cone w has a radius of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm. square pyramid x has the same base area and height as cone w. paul and manuel disagree on how the volumes of cone w and square pyramid x are related. examine their arguments. which statement explains whose argument is correct and why? paul manuel the volume of square pyramid x is equal to the volume of cone w. this can be proven by finding the base area and volume of cone w, along with the volume of square pyramid x. the base area of cone w is π(r2) = π(82) = 200.96 cm2. the volume of cone w is one third(area of base)(h) = one third third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is one third(area of base)(h) = one third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is three times the volume of cone w. this can be proven by finding the base area and volume of cone w, along with the volume of square pyramid x. the base area of cone w is π(r2) = π(82) = 200.96 cm2. the volume of cone w is one third(area of base)(h) = one third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is (area of base)(h) = (200.96)(5) = 1,004.8 cm3. paul's argument is correct; manuel used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid x. paul's argument is correct; manuel used the incorrect base area to find the volume of square pyramid x. manuel's argument is correct; paul used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid x. manuel's argument is correct; paul used the incorrect base area to find the volume of square pyramid x.
