Answer:

z=\frac{0.60 -0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{340}}}=-1.933  

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case is we use a significance level of 5% we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is different from 0.65 or 65%. We need to be careful since if we use a value higher than 65 for the significance the result would change

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=340 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.60 estimated proportion of readers owned a laptop

p_o=0.65 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

p_v{/tex} represent the p valueHypothesis to testWe want to check if the true proportion of readers owned a laptop if different from 0.65
Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.65  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.65  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{0.60 -0.65}{\sqrt{\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{340}}}=-1.933  

The p value for this case can be calculated with this probability:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case is we use a significance level of 5% we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is different from 0.65 or 65%. We need to be careful since if we use a value higher than 65 for the significance the result would change

Elodia [21]

Answer:

7) p=80

8)z= 19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

7th problem)

0.1p=8

p * 10^{-1}=8

\frac{p}{10}=8

p=80

8th problem)

\frac{z}{2.4}=8

z=8*2.4

z=19.2

For each trip, a taxi company charges a fixed fee of $2.00 plus $0.75 for each 1/2 mile or fraction of 1/2 miles. If, for every
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

E: 2.00 + 0.75 [ 2r]

Step-by-step explanation:

r represents the number of miles. For each 1/2 mile the taxi will charge and extra free of $0.75. Then, for each mile, the taxi will charge $0.75*2. For example:

For a trip of 1 mile the taxi will charge:

$2.00+$0.75*2

For a trip of 2 miles, the taxi will charge:

$2.00+0.75*4

For a trip of 10 miles, the taxi will charge:

$2.00+$0.75*20

Notice that the variable fee (the one that depends on the number of miles) is $0.75 times the double of miles. In each case the number of miles is multiplied by two. Then the correct answer is E: 2.00 + 0.75 [ 2r]
