Tain has a great literary tradition that spans centuries. one might assume, then, that britons read more than citizens of other countries. some canadians, however, feel that a higher percentage of canadians than britons read. a recent gallup poll reported that 86% of 1004 randomly sampled canadians read at least one book in the past year, compared to 81% of 1009 randomly sampled britons. do these results confirm a higher reading rate in canada?

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} \leq p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} p_{2}$

z=3.02

p_v =P(Z3.02)=0.00127

The p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of Canadians is not significantly higher than the porportions of readers at Britons.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$X_{1}=0.86*1004$ represent the number of Canadians randomly sampled by Gallup that read at least one book in the past year

$X_{2}=0.81*1009$ represent the number of Britons randomly sampled that read at least one book in the past year

$n_{1}=1004$ sample of Gallup selected

$n_{2}=1009$ sample of Britons selected

$p_{1}=0.86$ represent the proportion of Canadians randomly sampled by Gallup that read at least one book in the past year

$p_{2}=0.81$ represent the proportion of Britons randomly sampled that read at least one book in the past year

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportion for men with red/green color blindness is a higher than the rate for women , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} \leq p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{0.81+0.86}{2}=0.835$

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.86-0.81}{\sqrt{0.835(1-0.835)(\frac{1}{1004}+\frac{1}{1009})}}=3.02$

4) Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided $\alpha$ , but we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one side test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z3.02)=0.00127

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15$ always p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of Canadians is not significantly higher than the porportions of readers at Britons.

You and three friends will be going out to eat at your favorite restaurant! each of you will order three items of your choice. you will also need to leave a tip. if you split the bill evenly among all four of you, how much will each person need to contribute? locate a menu for your favorite restaurant and pick three items for yourself and each friend. list the restaurant name, items, and prices in a table like the one below. in the column labeled subtotal, determine the cost of each person’s order. the customary tip is 20% of the total bill. in the column labeled tip, calculate the amount of tip each person should leave. in the column labeled total bill, determine the total of each person’s order, including the tip. restaurant name: names item 1 price item 2 price item 3 price subtotal tip total bill your name friend #1 friend #2 friend #3 part 2: questions answer the following questions, showing all work: what is the total cost of the entire bill (all four meals), including tip? write an expression using fractions to show how to determine the amount that each person will pay. then calculate each person's contributions showing all steps in long division. if each person paid an equal amount, who would save the most money? explain your reasoning using at least two complete sentences.
