First, you know that B is the mid point, meaning AB is equal to BC. Therefore, you can set up the equation: x+5=2x-11. Then, you solve for x. Once you are done solving, you should get 16. Hope this helps!

Hi! Actually, the answer is 21. Because x+5 and 2x-11 are equivalent, set them equal to one another in an equation. Solve for x

You can see my steps in the picture i attached for you!!

Then, once you have x, you need to plug it back in to the expression x+5 (AB) to get 21. I hope this helps you!! :))

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval would be given (0.561;0.719).

b) $p_v =P(z>2.8)=1-P(z$

c) Using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=64 represent were in favor of firing the coach

$\hat p=\frac{64}{100}=0.64$ estimated proportion for were in favor of firing the coach

$p_o=0.5$ is the value that we want to test since the problem says majority

$\alpha$ represent the significance level (no given, but is assumed)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

p= population proportion of Americans for were in favor of firing the coach

Part a

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 90% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2=0.05$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.64 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100}}=0.561$

$0.64 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{100}}=0.719$

And the 90% confidence interval would be given (0.561;0.719).

Part b

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion exceeds 50%(Majority). :

Null Hypothesis: $p \leq 0.5$

Alternative Hypothesis: $p >0.5$

We assume that the proportion follows a normal distribution.

This is a one tail upper test for the proportion of union membership.

The One-Sample Proportion Test is "used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly (different,higher or less) from a hypothesized value $p_o$ ".

Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.

b) The sample needs to be large enough

$np_o =100*0.64=64>10$

$n(1-p_o)=100*(1-0.64)=36>10$

Calculate the statistic

The statistic is calculated with the following formula:

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

On this case the value of $p_o=0.5$ is the value that we are testing and n = 100.

$z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{100}}}=2.8$

The p value for the test would be:

$p_v =P(z>2.8)=1-P(z$

Part c

Using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v$ so we have enough evidence at this significance level to reject the null hypothesis. And on this case makes sense the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%.

makvit [3.9K]

Clarissa is not correct. If she were to choose one from the stack at random, it means that she has a 25%, or a 1/4 chance to pick the oatmeal, just like the other breakfast items.

If there were to be more oatmeals than any of the other items, it will heighten the chance of her getting oatmeal which would be the only way to make her statement correct.
