of blue candies is equal to 23​%. Use a 0.01 significance level to test that claim.

Answer:

We conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23​% at 0.01 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random selection of 100 colored​ candies, 24​% of them are blue.

The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23​%.

<u><em>Let p = percentage of blue candies.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 23%      {means that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23​%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 23%      {means that the percentage of blue candies is different from 23​%}

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

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

where, \hat p = sample proportion of blue colored candies = 24%

           n = sample of colored​ candies = 100

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{0.24-0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.24(1-0.24)}{100}}  }

                               =  0.234

The value of z test statistics is 0.234.

<u>Now, at 0.01 significance level the z table gives critical values of -2.5758 and 2.5758 for two-tailed test.</u>

<em>Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of z, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which </em><u><em>we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</em></u>

<em />

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 23​%.

A study of bone density on 5 random women at a hospital produced the following results.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

- 0.9503 ; r is not statistically significant ; 0.9031

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Age (X) :

37

41

57

65

73

Bone density (Y)

355

345

340

315

310

Using the pearson R value calculator :

The r value of the data % - 0.9503.

This value depicts a very strong negative correlation between age and density of bone.

Using the pearson R calculator to obtain the P- value, the P value obtained is .01332 and hence the r is not significant at P < 0.01.

The Coefficient of determination R^2 can be obtained by getting the square value of R

R^2 = - 0.9503^2

R^2 = 0.90307009

R^2 = 0.9031
