It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico: x 5.50 6.25 6.75 7.25 7.50 y 9 38 38 50 72 What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line?

Select one:

a. 89.9%

b. 10.1%

c. 94.8%

d. 0.3%

e. 1.0%

1) A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 30% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 300 people, 34% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.

Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is larger than 30% at the 0.10 significance level.

a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

H0:p≤0.3
H1:p>0.3

H0:p=0.3
H1:p≠0.3

H0:μ≥0.3
H1:μ<0.3

H0:μ≤0.3
H1:μ>0.3

H0:p≥0.3
H1:p<0.3

H0:μ=0.3
H1:μ≠0.3

2) The test is:

a) The test statistic is: _______ (to 3 decimals)

b) The p-value is: ________ (to 4 decimals)

c) Based on this we:

Reject the null hypothesis

or

fail to reject the null hypothesis

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is smaller than 30% at the 0.005 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

H0:μ≤0.3H0:μ≤0.3
H1:μ>0.3H1:μ>0.3

H1:μ≠0.3H1:μ≠0.3

H0:p=0.3H0:p=0.3
H1:p≠0.3H1:p≠0.3

The test is:

right-tailed

left-tailed

two-tailed

Based on a sample of 700 people, 24% owned cats

The test statistic is:  (to 2 decimals)

The p-value is:  (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

• Fail to reject the null hypothesis
• Reject the null hypothesis

Hadey is approaching the housing situation from a different direction. He does a little research and learns that the mean rent for a one bedroom one bathroom apartment in Avocado Park is $1050 per month with a standard deviation of $125 per month.

A. The Avocado Park Housing Authority defines affordable housing as costing LESS than $900 per month for a 1B1R. Would such an apartment be considered unusual for the neighborhood?

B. Hadey wants to develop a new apartment building in Avocado Park offering 1B1R units at a price of $1000 per month. What effect would this new building have on the mean and standard deviation for 1B1R in Avocado Park?

C. If the Avocado Park Housing Authority issued vouchers to subsidize all 1B1Rs in the neighborhood and they lowered the rent on each unit by exactly $100 per month, what would the new mean and standard deviation be for the cost of renting a 1B1R in Avocado Park.

The left-field wall at a baseball park is 320 feet down the third-base line from home​ plate; the wall itself is 38 feet high. A batted ball must clear the wall to be a home run. Suppose a ball leaves the​ bat, 3 feet off the​ ground, at an angle of 45degrees. Use gequals32 ​ft/sec squared as the acceleration due to gravity and ignore any air resistance. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d). (a) Find parametric equations that model the position of the ball as a function of time. (b) What is the maximum height of the ball if it leaves the bat with a speed of 120 miles per​ hour? Give your answer in feet. ​(c) What is the​ ball's horizontal distance from home plate at its maximum​ height? Give your answer in feet. ​(d) If the ball is hit straight down the third-base​ line, will it clear the​ wall? If it​ does, by how many feet does it clear the​ wall?
