MHB Solving a Confusing Word Problem: Measuring Justice After Court

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a word problem involving a survey conducted after a court case involving Médecins Sans Frontières. The brother seeks to determine if there was a significant change in customer opinions regarding the organization before and after the court verdict. Initial survey results showed 53 out of 1852 customers opposed Médecins Sans Frontières, while a follow-up revealed 1751 out of 4699 customers shared that sentiment. The participants discuss the need for hypothesis testing, specifically formulating the null and alternative hypotheses to analyze the data. The conversation emphasizes the importance of statistical analysis in measuring public perception of justice following the court's decision.

I have a word problem to solve and am thoroughly confused. any input would be great...

My younger brother had a run in earlier with Médecins Sans Frontières. He narrowly escaped from an adverse verdict by the court... What he wants is that he be left alone to run his small café...
He asked my oldest brother if he can conduct a survey for him about justice in the Kangaroo Court. Oooops, I mean the Canadian Court...
An initial survey was performed right after Médecins Sans Frontières accused my brother of wrong doing. Of 1852 customers, 53 were against the aggressive tactics of Médecins Sans Frontières. After my brother was cleared by the court, a follow-up survey was performed. Of 4699 customers, 1751 said they did not agree with the aggressive tactics of Médecins Sans Frontières.

At the 1% significance level, do the data suggest that a higher percentage of customers were against Médecins Sans Frontières after the court case?

Before court FOR Observed (O) = 1799
Before court FOR Expected (E) = 1342.7
Before court AGAINST O = 53
Before court AGAINST E = 509.3

After court FOR O = 2949
After court FOR E = 3406.775
After court AGAINST O = 1751
After court AGAINST E = 1292.225

DF = (r-1) (c-1) = 1
(1342.7 - 1799)2 / 1342.7 + (509.3 - 53)2 / 509.3 + (3406.775 - 2948)2 / 3406.775 + (1292.225 - 1751)2 / 1292.225 =
155.068 + 408.815 + 61.781 + 162.877 = 788.541am I even on the right track? where do i go from here?

First step in hypothesis testing is to formulate the zero hypothesis $H_0$ and the alternative hypothesis. Once you have defined those I can further explain the core principle of the test and how to formulate a conclusion.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
