Country financials, a financial services company, uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. In February 2012, a sample of 1000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more that fair. In Feb 2010, a sample of 900 adults showed 315 indicating that their financial security wwas more than fair.1. State the hypothesis that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years?2. What is the sample proportion indicating that their financial security was more that fair in 2012?In 2010?3. Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. At a .05 level of significance what is your conclusion?4. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportion?

1) The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2\neq 0$

Subindex 1: 2012 population proportion and Subindex 2: 2010 population proportion.

2) The sample proportion for 2012 is p1=0.41.

The sample proportion for 2010 is p2=0.35.

3) There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference between the population proportions of the two years.

4) The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (0.016, 0.104).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that there is significant difference between the population proportions of the two years.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2\neq 0$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.41.

p_1=X_1/n_1=410/1000=0.41

The sample 2, of size n2=900 has a proportion of p2=0.35.

p_2=X_2/n_2=315/900=0.35

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.06.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.41-0.35=0.06

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{410+315}{1000+900}=\dfrac{725}{1900}=0.3816$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3816*0.6184}{1000}+\dfrac{0.3816*0.6184}{900}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.0002+0.0003}=\sqrt{0.0005}=0.0223$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.06-0}{0.0223}=\dfrac{0.06}{0.0223}=2.69$

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

$P-value=2\cdot P(z2.69)=0.007$

As the P-value (0.007) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference between the population proportions of the two years.

We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval.

For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.

The margin of error, using the results previously calculated, is:

$MOE=z \cdot s_{p1-p2}=1.96\cdot 0.0223=0.0437$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=(p_1-p_2)-z\cdot s_{p1-p2} = 0.06-0.0437=0.016\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z\cdot s_{p1-p2}= 0.06+0.0437=0.104$

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (0.016, 0.104).

hence, the required result is $b-a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\end{array}\right]$

step-by-step explanation:

suppose we have two matrices a and b

we will assume the two matrices

$a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\4& 5& 6\\7& 8& 9\end{array}\right]$

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2& 3& 1\\5& 6& 4\\8& 9& 7\end{array}\right]$

we have to compute b-a which means subtracting corresponding elements of a from b.

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2& 3& 1\\5& 6& 4\\8& 9& 7\end{array}\right]$ - $a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\4& 5& 6\\7& 8& 9\end{array}\right]$

$b-a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\end{array}\right]$

In january 2010, you began a one-year study of tuberculosis (tb) in a subsidized housing community in the lower east side of new york city. you enrolled 500 residents in your study and checked on their tb status on a monthly basis. at the start of your study on january 1st, you screened all 500 residents. upon screening, you found that 30 of the healthy residents had been vaccinated for tb and therefore were not at risk. another 20 residents already had existing cases of tb on january 1st. on february 1st, 5 residents developed tb. on april 1st, 10 more residents developed tb. on june 1st, 10 healthy residents moved away from new york city and were lost to follow-up. on july 1st, 10 of the residents who had existing tb on january 1st died from their disease. the study ended on december 31, 2010. assume that once a person gets tb, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up. is the subsidized housing community in the lower east side of new york city a dynamic or fixed population? briefly explain the rationale for your answer. dynamic population it can changeable people can move out and move in into the population of a subsidized housing what was the prevalence of tb in the screened community on january 1st? prevalence = 30/500 0.06= 6% what was the prevalence of tb on june 30th? prevalence= 40/450=0.08= 8.88% what was the cumulative incidence of tb over the year? cumulative incidence = number of new cases/number in candidate population)over specified time period 10/450 = 2.2% suppose that you wanted to calculate the incidence rate of tb in the study population. calculate the amount of person-time that would go in the denominator of this incidence rate. be sure to show your work.
