Hello!

This is right because the goal of solving a quadratic equation is to isolate the variable and then solve it. First you multiply - 8/3 to both sides to isolate s and the you solve the equation by multiplying - 8/3 to - 6

A coin is thrown independently 10 times to test the hypothesis that the probability of heads is 0.5 versus the alternative that
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

(a) The significance level of the test is 0.002.

(b) The power of the test is 0.3487.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coin is thrown independently 10 times to test the hypothesis that the probability of heads is 0.5 versus the alternative that the probability is not 0.5.

The test rejects the null hypothesis if either 0 or 10 heads are observed.

Let p = <u><em>probability of obtaining head.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.5

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 0.5

(a) The significance level of the test which is represented by \alpha is the probability of Type I error.

Type I error states the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given the fact that the null hypothesis is true.

Here, the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis means we obtain the probability of observing either 0 or 10 heads, that is;

            P(Type I error) = \alpha

         P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true) = \alpha

Also, the event of obtaining heads when a coin is thrown 10 times can be considered as a binomial experiment.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.5)

P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true) = \alpha

\binom{10}{0}\times 0.5^{0} \times (1-0.5)^{10-0}  +\binom{10}{10}\times 0.5^{10} \times (1-0.5)^{10-10}  = \alpha

(1\times 1\times 0.5^{10})  +(1 \times 0.5^{10} \times 0.5^{0}) = \alpha

\alpha = 0.0019

So, the significance level of the test is 0.002.

(b) It is stated that the probability of heads is 0.1, and we have to find the power of the test.

Here the Type II error is used which states the probability of accepting the null hypothesis given the fact that the null hypothesis is false.

Also, the power of the test is represented by (1 - \beta).

So, here, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.1)

1-\beta = P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true)

1-\beta = \binom{10}{0}\times 0.1^{0} \times (1-0.1)^{10-0}  +\binom{10}{10}\times 0.1^{10} \times (1-0.1)^{10-10}  

1-\beta = (1\times 1\times 0.9^{10})  +(1 \times 0.1^{10} \times 0.9^{0})

1-\beta = 0.3487

Hence, the power of the test is 0.3487.

Malia measures the longer side of a dollar bill using a ruler at school. Which of the following is most likely the quantity she
sergey [27]

Answer:

6.14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The one side of the dollar bill is 6.14 inch. The 6.14 inches of the dollar approximates the 156.1 mm. When Malia measures the longer side of a dollar bill from her rule it will be approximately 6.14 inches in length. The ruler normally has inches and cm sides. Very few rulers have mm scales. The most probable scale that malia would have measure is in inches.
