Determine whether the results below appear to have statistical​ significance, and also determine whether the results have practi

cal significance. In a study of a weight loss​ program, 4 subjects lost an average of 48 lbs. It is found that there is about a 32​% chance of getting such results with a diet that has no effect.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in  a study of a weight loss​ program, 4 subjects lost an average of 48 lbs.

It is found that there is about a 32​% chance of getting such results with a diet that has no effect.

The results do not appear to have statistical significance.  The reasons are

1) Sample size of 4 is very small not even meeting the bare minimum

2) Sample of 4 cannot be taken to represent the population

3) Whether bias was there in the selection of sample is not known.

4) Std deviation is not considered which is very important while concluding results.

An insurance company states that it settles 85% of all life insurance claims within 30 days. A consumer group asks the state ins
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

H_0: p \geq 0.85

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the proportion is below 85%, that is:

H_0: p < 0.85

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

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

In which:

  • \overline{p} is the sample proportion.
  • p is the proportion tested at the null hypothesis.
  • n is the sample size.

For this problem, the parameters are:

p = 0.85, n = 250, \overline{p} = \frac{203}{250} = 0.812

Hence the test statistic is:

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

z = \frac{0.812 - 0.85}{\sqrt{\frac{0.85(0.15)}{250}}}

z = -1.68

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is less than a value, and z = -1.68, the p-value is of 0.0465.

Since the p-value of the test is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and find that there is enough evidence to conclude that the true proportion of all life insurance claims made to this company that are settled within 30 days is less than 85%.

Since there is 101 Tickets, 
Let S + A = 101
1.50S + 2.50A = $186.50



Adults + Students = 101

$186. 50 = $2.50 Adults + $1.50 Students

Answer is 35 Adults, and 66 Students.




Hope that helps!!!

Here are two polygons on a grid. Is PQRST a scaled copy of ABCDE?
Bezzdna [24]

*see attachment showing the two polygons in a grid.

Answer:

No, PQRST is not a scale copy of ABCDE because we the sides are not increased proportionally.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon can be said to be a scaled copy of another polygon, if the the same scale factor is used in scaling every segment of the preimage or original image to get the length of the corresponding segments of the scale copy or image. In order words, all segments must be scaled proportionally.

Polygon PQRST, which is the new image, has different scale factors used in scaling the various segments of the preimage. In simple terms, the sides of PQRST were not increased proportionally. Therefore, PQRST is not a scaled copy of ABCDE.
