1 answer:
To answer this question you will set up the proportion shown in the attached picture.
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. You can create an equivalent ratio by determining the factor that will take you from 1 cm to 2 cm and apply his factor to the 19 miles.
The answer would be 19 x 2= 38 miles for 2 centimeters.
2. The second strategy is to use cross products to get an answer. You multiply the number diagonal from each other. See picture for this work.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
n=530 represent the random sample taken
X=139 represent the yellow pods in the random sample
estimated proportion of yellow pods
is the value that we want to test
represent the significance level
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value (variable of interest)
Concepts and formulas to use
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.25 or 25%:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:
(1)
The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion is significantly different from a hypothesized value
.
Calculate the statistic
Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:
