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%.

12. Write the equation of the line passing through the point (2,6) with slope 4 in
stepladder [879]

Answer:

y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 4

y -6 = 4 ( x- 2 )

distribute the 4 to ( x - 2 )

y - 6 = 4x - 8

add 6 to both side

y = 4x - 2

Hopefully this helps you understand this concept.

The area of a rectangle is 42 square inches and one side is 12 inches long find the perimeter of the rectangle show your work
uranmaximum [27]
So first of all we need to know that area is length times width
Area = L x W 
since we know the area is 42 and the length is 12 lets plug those in
42 = 12 x W 
now we dont know what W is yet but we can figure it out by dividing 42 by 12
42/12 = 3.5 
So W = 3.5!
but its asking for the perimeter and we know that perimeter is all of the sides of the rectangle added up. Heres a picture
   
       ___3.5___
      |                 |
      |                 |
 12 |                 |  12 
      |                 |
      ************
             3.5

see now we just add those all up together:)

12 + 12 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 31!!
so our perimeter is 31 inches:)
have a good one

Point p is the midpoint of de dp 6x+4 and de = 14x -10
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint is found by adding up two numbers and then dividing by 2 (Also known as an average). Therefore, a midpoint marks half of a line. That means that DP is 1/2 of DE. We can now form an equation. 6x + 4 = 1/2 * (14x - 10), making 6x + 4 = 7x - 5 by using the distributive property. Next, isolate x by subtracting by 6x on both sides and adding by 5 on both sides. You would get x = 5 + 4, which means that x = 9.
