a pharmacist believes the proportion of prescriptions that are antibiotics is decreasing. the pharmacist would like to test the

claim that the proportion of prescriptions that are antibiotics is under 52%. using the computed test statistic of −1.89 and the critical value of −1.65, is there enough evidence for the pharmacist to reject the null hypothesis?

Since,Z < -1.65 we reject H₀

i.e there is enough evidence for the pharmacist to reject the null hypothesis

What is the null hypothesis?

Conjectures used in statistical tests, which are formal techniques for drawing conclusions or making judgments based on data, include the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. The hypotheses, which are based on a sample of the population, are suppositions regarding a statistical model of the population. The tests are essential components of statistical inference and are frequently used to distinguish between statistical noise and scientific claims when interpreting experimental data in science.

"The null hypothesis is the proposition under investigation in a statistical significance test. The significance test is intended to determine how strong the evidence is against the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is typically a claim that there is "no effect" or "no difference.H₀ is a common way to represent it.

The alternative hypothesis is the assertion that is being compared against the null hypothesis. Two symbols are H₁ and Hₐ.

Calculation:

Here H₀:  P=0.52

  H₁: P<0.52

Test statistic, Z = -1.89

critical value = -1.65

Decision rule: If zZ< -1.65 we reject H₀ and vice-versa

Since,Z < -1.65 we reject H₀

i.e there is enough evidence for the pharmacist to reject the null hypothesis

What is the perimeter of the rectangle? Plato
charle [14.2K]

it depends how long the width and the length is. If the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm the perimeter will be 18cm. All you have to do is 5 doubled because there 2 sides for the length and 4 doubled because there are 2 sides for the width. I hope I have answered your question. XD

What is the value of y in the equation 4y – 2(1 – y) = –44?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, follow these steps:

4y - 2 (1 - y) = -44

First, distribute the -2 into the parenthesis:

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

The reason the 2y is positive is due to the fact that negative and negative cancel each other out and form a positive.

Now, combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

To get y, you need to isolate it from the constants. In order to do so, do the inverse relationship for the constant -2. To do this, add 2 to -44:

6y = -42

Now, divide six on both sides. You divide because six is currently being multiplied with y. Keep in mind that the 42 is still negative!

y = -7

Hope this helps!
