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%.

The daily dinner bills in a local restaurant are normally distributed with a mean of $28 and a standard deviation of $6. What ar
Degger [83]

Answer:

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 28, \sigma = 6

What are the minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills?

This is the 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 28}{6}

X - 28 = 6*1.645

X = 37.87

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.
