In a random sample of high school seniors, the proportion who use text messaging was 0.88. In a random sample of high school freshmen, this proportion was 0.68. Researchers found the difference in proportions to be statistically significant and obtained one of the following numbers for the p-value. Which is it? a. 1.5
b. 0.02
c. 0.78
d. 0.30

b. 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence that you should reject the null hypothesis. In this case, this will mean rejecting that the proportions are not significantly different.

Usually, a p-value is considered to be statistically significant when p ≤ 0.05.

From the answer options provided, alternative b. 0.02 is the only one that represents the difference in proportions to be statistically significant (there is only a 2% chance that the proportions are not significantly different).

Therefore, the answer is b. 0.02

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

hi how are you doing today, if you need just ask me.
