Your software company was invited to provide a proposal for a company in Australia. You currently have the cost in US dollars and need to convert the prices to the Australian dollar.

Write a 2-part program using Ruby, Java®, or Python.

Part 1: Write a function to gather the following costs from the user:

  • Travel Cost: $9,800
  • Hotel Cost: $3,500
  • Rental Car Cost: $1,600
  • Labor Cost: $15,500

Part 2: Write a function to convert the costs from United States dollar (USD) to Australian dollar (AUD). Note: Look up the current USD to AUD exchange rate to use in your function.

Test the program 3 times by providing different costs in USD.

You visit the new Chaco Hotel rooftop bar in old town. You're taking pictures of the fabulous views using your new $1,000 phone. Oops! The phone slips out of your hands plummeting to the ground 60 feet below. Ignoring air resistance. how fast is your phone traveling by the time it hits the ground ? [ Hint: 1 meter = 3.28 feet ] ( Circle one answer)

A.) 19mph

B.) 42 mph

C.) 37mph

D.) 602 mph

I am doing test corrections for my physics exam I put C(37mph and that was incorrect. Can you please help with this question very confused about it.

A) Which of the following statements are true?

Note that there may be more than one correct answer; select all that are true.

As the p-value increases, the evidence against the null hypothesis also increases.

In hypothesis testing, if the p-value is sufficiently small, then the null hypothesis can be rejected in favour of the alternate hypothesis.

If the null hypothesis is true, then the p-value will always be greater than 0.1.

If the null hypothesis is false, then the p-value will tend towards 0 as the sample size increases.

The validity of the results from hypothesis testing is dependent upon the use of simple random samples and further assumptions involving sample size or normality of the population.

B) Test the null hypothesis H0:p=0.5against the alternative hypothesis HA:p<0.5, when 95 individuals in a random sample of 217 have a characteristic of interest.

Calculate the value of the z test statistic, for testing the null hypothesis that the population proportion is 0.5. Round your response to at least 2 decimal places.

The P-value falls within which one of the following ranges:

A

P-value > 0.50

B

0.10 < P-value < 0.50

C

0.05 < P-value < 0.10

D

P-value < 0.05

What conclusion can be made, at the 5% level of significance?

A There is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis, in favour of the alternative that the population proportion is less than 0.5.
B There is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and therefore no significant evidence that the population proportion is not 0.5.

C) Test the null hypothesis H0:p=0.8against the alternative hypothesis HA:p>0.8, when 806 individuals in a random sample of 1,002 have a characteristic of interest.

a) Calculate the value of the z test statistic, for testing the null hypothesis that the population proportion is 0.8. Round your response to at least 2 decimal places.

b) Find the corresponding P-value for the above test statistic.Round your response to at least 4 decimal places.

c) What conclusion can be made, at the 10% level of significance?

A There is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis, in favour of the alternative that the population proportion is greater than 0.8.
B There is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and therefore no significant evidence that the population proportion is not 0.8.

D) Suppose a random sample of size 9 is taken from a normally distributed population, and the sample mean and variance are calculated to be x¯=47.2 and s2=4.5respectively.

Use this information to test the null hypothesis H0:μ=50versus the alternative hypothesis HA:μ≠50, at the 5% level of significance.

a) What is the value of the test statistic t, for testing the null hypothesis that the population mean is equal to 50? Round your response to at least 2 decimal places.

b) The P-value falls within which one of the following ranges:

A

P-value > 0.10

B

0.05 < P-value < 0.10

C

0.025 < P-value < 0.05

D

0.01 < P-value < 0.025

E

P-value < 0.01

c) Is the null hypothesis rejected at the 5% level of significance? Yes or No
