Doctors nationally believe that 80% of a certain type of operation are successful. In a particular hospital, 47 of these operati

ons were observed and 37 of them were successful. At = .05, is this hospital's success rate different from the national average?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.787 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{47}}}=-0.223  

p_v =2*P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \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 hospital's success rate is not significanlty different from 0.8 or 80%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=47 represent the random sample taken

X=37 represent the operations successful

\hat p=\frac{37}{47}=0.787 estimated proportion of operations successful

p_o=0.8 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

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 true proportion is different from 0.8 or 80%:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.8  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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{0.787 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{47}}}=-0.223  

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 provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \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 hospital's success rate is not significanlty different from 0.8 or 80%.

Answer:

$22.33

Step-by-step explanation:

A 20% tip would be 0.20. Multiply the cost by 0.20 to get the tip amount or multiply the cost by 1.20 to get the total amount including tip.

subtotal --> $18.61

tip --> $3.72

18.61 x 0.20 = 3.72

total --> $22.33

Which situation can be represented by -35 + 35? Choose all that apply.
siniylev [52]

Answer: B & D

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario we want to come out with a situation where both sides are in an even playing field, as the equation solves to zero.

If a diver is 35 feet below water (-35) and he comes up to breathe, he goes up 35ft (35) meaning he is at the surface (0).

If Manuel is in debt for 35$ (-35) and then he pays off the 35$ (+35) then he is even (at 0).

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  14 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

  16 ounces = 1 pound

Multiply the above equation by 7/8:

  (7/8)(16 ounces) = (7/8)(1 pound)

  14 ounces = 7/8 pound

You select a card at random from the cards that make up the word “replacement”. Without replacing the card, you choose a second
Paul [167]
Replacement....total of 11 letters....4 vowels, 7 consonants

probability of first picking a vowel = 4/11
without replacing
probability of not picking a vowel = 7/10

probability of both = 7/10 * 4/11 = 28/110 reduces to 14/55
