Suppose a random sample of 100 observations from a binomial population gives a value of pˆ = .63 and you wish to test the null h

ypothesis that the population parameter p is equal to .70 against the alternative hypothesis that p is less than .70.
a) nothing that p = .63, what does your intuition tell you? does the value of p appear to contradict the null hypothesis?
b) use the large-sample z-test to test H0: p = .70 against the alternative hypothesis, Ha: p < 70. Use a = .05. How do the test results compare with your intuitive decision from part A?
c) find and interpret the observed significance level of the test you conducted in part B.

Answer:

We conclude that the population proportion is equal to 0.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 100 observations from a binomial population gives a value of pˆ = 0.63 and you wish to test the null hypothesis that the population parameter p is equal to 0.70 against the alternative hypothesis that p is less than 0.70.

Let p = <u><em>population proportion.</em></u>

(1) The intuition tells us that the population parameter p may be less than 0.70 as the sample proportion comes out to be less than 0.70 and also the sample is large enough.

(2) So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.70      {means that the population proportion is equal to 0.70}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p < 0.70      {means that the population proportion is less than 0.70}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z-test</u> for proportions;

                           T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }  ~  N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion = 0.63

            n = sample of observations = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.63-0.70}{\sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70)}{100} } }

                                     =  -1.528

The value of z-test statistics is -1.528.

<u>Now at 0.05 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -1.645 for the left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as -1.528 > -1.645, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the population proportion is equal to 0.70.

(c) The observed level of significance in part B is 0.05 on the basis of which we find our critical value of z.

Ben and Landon took turns driving on the recent 820 mile road trip Ben averaged 60 mph while Landon average 56 mph if the trip t
AysviL [449]

Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Landon hours = x

Ben hours = y

x + y = 14 - - (1)

60x + 56y = 820 - - - (2)

From (1)

y = 14 - x

60x + 56(14 - x) = 820

60x + 784 - 56x = 820

4x = 820 - 784

4x = 36

x = 36/4

x = 9

Landon drove for 9 hours

To get from one town to another, Jack must travel 7 miles east and 24 miles south. What is the direct distance between the two t
Step2247 [10]
The 7 miles and 24 miles make up two "legs" of a right triangle.
The third side (or hypotenuse) is the distance between the towns.
distance^2 = 7^2 + 24^2
distance^2 = 49 + 576
distance^2 = 625
distance = square root of 625 or 25
