A newspaper poll asked respondents if they trusted "eco friendly" labels on cleaning products. Out of 1000 adults surveyed, 498

responded "yes." We would like to test if the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is at least 50%. The calculated test statistic value is

Answer:

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is not significanlty less than 0.5 or 50%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

X=498 represent the adults that trust these labels

\hat p=\frac{498}{1000}=0.498 estimated proportion of respondents that trust these labels

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is at least 50%:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.498 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1000}}}=-0.126  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level is not provided but we can assume it as \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is not significanlty less than 0.5 or 50%.

April worked 1 1/2 times as long on her math project as did Carl. Debbie worked 1 1/4 times as long as Sonia. Richard worked 1 3
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs

        Debbie.                                                                   8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs

        Richard.                                                                   7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data's were missing so we have attached the complete information in the attachment.

Given:

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = 5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs

5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs can be Rewritten as \frac{21}{4}\ hrs

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = \frac{21}{4}\ hrs

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = 6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs

6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs can be rewritten as \frac{13}{2}\ hrs

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = \frac{13}{2}\ hrs

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = 5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs

5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs can be rewritten as \frac{17}{3}\ hrs.

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = \frac{17}{3}\ hrs.

Now Given:

April worked 1\frac{1}{2} times as long on her math project as did Carl.

1\frac{1}{2}  can be Rewritten as \frac{3}{2}

Number of Hours April worked on math project = \frac{3}{2} \times Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project

Number of Hours April worked on math project = \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{21}{4} = \frac{63}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs

Also Given:

Debbie worked 1\frac{1}{4} times as long as Sonia.

1\frac{1}{4}  can be Rewritten as \frac{5}{4}.

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = \frac{5}{4} \times Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = \frac{5}{4}\times \frac{13}{2}= \frac{65}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs

Also Given:

Richard worked 1\frac{3}{8} times as long as tony.

1\frac{3}{8} can be Rewritten as \frac{11}{8}

Number of Hours Richard worked on math project = \frac{11}{8} \times Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = \frac{11}{8}\times \frac{17}{3}= \frac{187}{24}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs

Hence We will match each student with number of hours she worked.

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs

        Debbie.                                                                   8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs

        Richard.                                                                   7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs

Write a scenario that could be represented by this equation: 3/4x = 12
Aneli [31]

Answer:

x=1 or x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4x = 12      or        0.75x = 12

3/4x/3/4 = 12/3/4     or     0.75x/0.75 = 12/0.75

x=12/1 / 3/4

x= 4/4

x = 1                           or       x = 16
