Answer:
There is evidence for the claim that less than 10% of the test results are wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the company Drug Test Success provides a "1-Panel-THC" test for marihuana usage.
Among 300 tested subjects, results from 27 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative.)
Sample proportion =
H0: p = 0.10
Ha: p <0.10
(left tailed test)
p difference = 0.09-0.10 = -0.01
Std error =
z statistic = -1.9245
p value = 0.027
Since p <0.05 we reject H0
There is evidence for the claim that less than 10% of the test results are wrong
Answer:
0.8185 or 81.85%
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean length (μ) of an adult foot is 11 and the standard deviation (σ) is 1.5.
The z score is a measure in statistic used to determine the amount of standard deviation by which the raw score (x) is above or below the mean. If the raw score is above the mean, the z score is positive and if the raw score is below the mean the z sore is negative. It is given by:
To calculate the probability that a randomly selected male will have a foot length between 8 and 12.5 inches, we first calculate the z score for 8 inches and then for 12.5 inches.
For 8 inches:
For 12.5 inches:
From the normal distribution table, The probability that a randomly selected male will have a foot length between 8 and 12.5 inches = P(8 < x < 12.5) = P(-2 < z < 1) = P(z < 1) - P(z < -2) = 0.8413 - 0.0228 = 0.8185 = 81.85%
