If the original quantity is 20 and the new quantity is 16, what is the percent decrease?

2 answers:

6 0

20% Subtract starting value minus final value.
Divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value.
Multiply by 100 to get percent decrease.
If the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not an decrease.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis $p >0.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem:

$n= 800$ the random sample of voters selected from the town

$\hat p = 0.34$ represent the proportion of residents favored construction

$p_o = 0.30$ represent the value desired to test.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis $p >0.3$

And in order to test this hypothesis we can use a one sample z test for a population proportion and the statistic would be given by:

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

And with the data given we have:

$z=\frac{0.34 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{800}}}=2.469$
