A political mailing will have several pages on the economy, the military, and the environment. The total number of these pages in the booklet should not be greater than 110, including at most 20 pages on the economy. For the target group that will receive the booklet, market research suggests that there will be a positive impact proportional to 5 times the number of pages on the economy, a positive impact proportional to 3 times the number of pages on the military, and a positive impact proportional to 2 times the number of pages on the environment. The editor insists that the number of pages on the environment be at least twice as many as the number on the military. Find the number of pages that should be devoted to the economy, the military, and the environment. (Hint: Write the constraint involving environment and military pages in the form ≤0.)

In comparing the average protein content µ1 and µ2 of two brands of dog food, a consumer testing service finds that fifty 5-pund packages of brand A dog food had an average protein content x̅1=11 ounces per package and a s.d of s1 = 1 ounce, while sixty-5 pound packages of brand B dog food has an average protein content x̅2=9ounces per package and a s.d of s2 = 0.5 ounce. A difference of 0.5 ounces is considered to be not sufficiently important to report as a consumer issue. Therefore, a decision was made to test the hypothesis.
Consider two groups of students: B1, students who received high scores on tests, and B2, students who received low scores on tests. In group B1, 80% study more than 25 hours per week, and in group B2, 40% study more than 25 hours per week. What is the overinvolvement ratio for high study levels in high test scores over low test scores?
Medical researchers performed a comparison of two drugs, clopidogrel and ticagrelor, which are designed to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in coronary patients. A total of 6665 patients were given clopidogrel, and 6740 were given ticagrelor. Of the clopidogrel patients, 651 suffered a heart attack or stroke within one year, and of the ticagrelor patients, 573 suffered a heart attack or stroke. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke is less for ticagrelor? Let p1 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with clopidogrel and p2 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with ticagrelor. Use the =α0.01 level of significance and the P -value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. please state p method clearly!
According to Lyme Disease surveillance information from the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), there were 441 cases of Lyme disease in Providence County and 86 cases in Bristol County in the year 2018. According to estimates for the same year from the U.S. Census Bureau, the population in Bristol County was 48,637 whereas the estimated population of Providence County was 636,953. Based on these data, the occurrence of Lyme disease per 100,000 population was ............. a. Nearly the same in both the counties b. Lower in Providence County than in Bristol County c. Higher in Providence County than in Bristol County d. More information is necessary to compare Lyme Disease occurrence between the two counties
If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to 40% by a massive education program, then what effect would this change have on the overall mortality rate among true hypertensives; that is would the mortality rate decrease and, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensives could be prevented by the education program?
A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them.
Given that there are more women in the labor force, more women holding advanced degrees, how does the glass ceiling and the second shift contribute to the persistence of gender inequality?
Medical researchers performed a comparison of two drugs, clopidogrel and ticagrelor, which are designed to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in coronary patients. A total of 6720 patients were given clopidogrel, and 6679 were given ticagrelor. Of the clopidogrel patients, 551 suffered a heart attack or stroke within one year, and of the ticagrelor patients, 654 suffered a heart attack or stroke. Can you conclude that the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke is greater for ticagrelor? Let p1 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with clopidogrel and p2 denote the proportion of patients suffering a heart attack or stroke with ticagrelor. Use the α=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. a)State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) find P-value c)Determine whether to reject H0. d)There (is/is not) enough evidence to conclude that the mean weight loss of subjects having…
Suppose that in a research it was discovered that those who majored in math, engineering, or computer science scored higher on tests measuring "problem-solving" ability at the end of 4 years of college than did those students who did not major in these fields. What is the dependent variable in this study? Is the dependent variable clearly defined?
