The CEO of a large electric utility company claims that 80 percent of his 1,000,000 customers are very satisfied with the servic

e they receive. To test this claim, the local newspaper surveyed 100 customers, using simple random sampling. After performing the appropriate statistical test, they find the p-value to be 0.894. What conclusion can we make?

Answer:

Conclusion: The proportion of customers satisfied with the service they receive from the large electric utility company is different from 80%, the claim made by the CEO.

Step-by-step explanation:

To test the claim made by the CEO of a large electric utility company the newspaper must conduct a hypothesis test for one proportion.

<u>Assumption</u>:

The significance level (<em>α</em>) of the test can be assumed to be 5%.

<u>Hypothesis</u>:

H_{0}: The proportion of customers satisfied with the service they receive is 0.80, i.e. p=0.80

H_{a}: The proportion of customers satisfied with the service they receive is different from 0.80, i.e. p\neq 0.80

<u>Decision Rule</u>:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level (<em>α</em>) then the null hypothesis may be rejected. But if the <em>p</em>-value  is more than the significance level (<em>α</em>) then we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

<u>Test Statistics:</u>

As the sample size is large, i.e.<em>n</em> = 100 > 30, then according to the central limit theorem sampling distribution of sample proportion will follow the normal distribution.

The test statistic used is:

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

<u>Given</u>:

The <em>p</em>-value of the hypothesis test is computed to be 0.894.

That is:

p-value=0.894>\alpha =0.05

This implies that we fail to reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance.

<u>Conclusion</u>:

The null hypothesis was failed to be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Thus, concluding that the proportion of customers satisfied with the service they receive from the large electric utility company is different from 80%, the claim made by the CEO.

What is the equation of a line passing through (-3,7) and having a slope of -1/5<br> PLEASE HELP
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

y = -1/5x +32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx+b

we know m = -1/5

y = -1/5x+b

We know a x and y on the line

7 = -1/5(-3) +b

7 = 3/5 +b

Subtract 3/5 from each side

35/5 -3/5 = b

32/5 =b

So the equation is

y = -1/5x +32/5

The average amount of time to finish this quiz is 26 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. What is the probability t
boyakko [2]

Answer:

What is the probability that you will finish this quiz in 23.84 minutes or less?

0.03593

Write your answer as a percentage with 2 decimals

= 3.59%

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score formula is given as:

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

Mean = 26 minutes

Standard deviation = 1.2 minutes.

The probability that you will finish this quiz in 23.84 minutes or less(≤) is calculated as:

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = 23.84 - 26/1.2

z = -1.8

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x ≤ 23.84) = 0.03593

Converting to percentage

0.03593 × 100

= 3.593

Approximately to 2 decimal places = 3.59%

Sheila is going to divide a 38-inch piece of ribbon into 5 equal pieces. She says each piece
DENIUS [597]

Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
