A television network is deciding whether or not to give its newest television show a spot during prime viewing time at night. If

this is to happen, it will have to move one of its most viewed shows to another slot. The network conducts a survey asking its viewers which show they would rather watch. The network receives 827 responses, of which 438 indicate that they would like to see the new show in the lineup. The test statistic for this hypothesis would be:
a. 2.05
b. 1.71
c. 2.25
d. 1.01

Answer:

b. 1.71

z=\frac{0.5296 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{827}}}=1.71  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=827 represent the random sample taken

X=438 represent the  people that indicate that they would like to see the new show in the lineup

\hat p=\frac{438}{827}=0.5296 estimated proportion of people that indicate that they would like to see the new show in the lineup

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

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

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.5296 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{827}}}=1.71  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level assumed is \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z>1.71)=0.044  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is higher than 0.5.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

1 / 3^5

1/ 243

Step-by-step explanation:

3^4 ÷ 3^9

We know that a^b ÷ a^c = a^ ( b-c)

3 ^ ( 4-9)

3^ -5

We can rewrite this as a^-b = 1/ a^b

1 / 3^5

We know that 3^5 = 243

1/ 243

Great Amusements Park has been raising its ticket prices every year, as shown in the table below
Fiesta28 [93]
1.)

Between year 0 and year 1, we went from $50 to $55.

$55/$50 = 1.1

The price increased by 10% from year 0 to year 1.

Between year 2 and year 1, we went from $55 to $60.50.

$60.50/$55 = 1.1

The price also increased by 10% from year 1 to year 2. If we investigate this for each year, we will see that the price increases consistently by 10% every year.

The sequence can be written as an = 50·(1.1)ⁿ

2.) To determine the price in year 6, we can use the sequence formula we established already.

a6 = 50·(1.1)⁶ = $88.58

The price of the tickets in year 6 will be $88.58.
