Correct question is;

The claim is that the proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week is less than 0.35, and the sample statistics include n = 1168 subjects with 385 saying that they smoked a cigarette in the past week. Find the value of the test statistic

Answer:

Test statistic is z = -1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first of all define the hypotheses:

Null hypothesis:

H0: p = 0.35, i.e 35% in the sample of 1,168 adults have smoked cigarettes in the previous week.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: p < 0.35, i.e less than 35% in the sample of 1,168 adults have smoked cigarette in the previous week.

The sample size is, n = 1,168 while the number of adults who smoked in the previous week would be; x = 385

Therefore, the sample proportion of adults who smoked in the previous week would be calculated as;

p^ = x/n = 385/1168 ≈ 0.3296

Now, from Central Limit Theorem for large samples, The sampling distribution of the sample proportion p^, will have a mean of μ = p = 0.35

Formula for standard deviation is;

σ = √[p (1 – p)/n]

σ = √(0.35 × (1 – 0.35)/1168)

σ = √0.0001947774

σ = 0.014

Formula for test statistic is;

z = (p^ - p)/σ

z = (0.3296 - 0.35)/0.014

z = - 1.46

Find the volume of the following square pyramid. geometry hw
Luda [366]

Given:

The square base pyramid with height 3 cm and base edge 2 cm.

To find:

The volume of the square pyramid.

Solution:

Volume of a square base pyramid is:

V=\dfrac{1}{3}Bh            ...(i)

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the pyramid.

Base is a square with edge 2 cm, so the base area is:

B=a\times a

Where, a is the edge of the square base.

B=2\times 2

B=4

Putting B=4,h=3 in (i), we get

V=\dfrac{1}{3}(4)(3)

V=4

Therefore, the volume of the given pyramid is 4 cm³.

Specify the set of all integers that are congruent to 5 (mod 7) using (a) the roster method and (b) set-builder notation
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(a) A = {... -23, -16, -9, -2, 5, 12, 19, 26, ....}

(b) A = {x\in Z: x = 5 - 7t,\ t\in Z}

Solution:

For two integers x and y to be congruent, we know that:

If 't' divides y - x, we say that x is congruent to y modulo t, written x ≡ y mod t.

Now,

In roster form, we include each element in the representation of the set.

In set-builder form, we use mathematical notation and properties of the elements of the set.

Now,

As per the question;

(a) To represent all the integers congruent to  5 (mod 7) by roaster method of a set A (say):

where

x\in Z such that

x ≡ 5 (mod 7)

Then

A = {... -23, -16, -9, -2, 5, 12, 19, 26, ....}

(b) In set builder form,

A = {x\in Z: x = 5 - 7t,\ t\in Z}
