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

Answer:

The picture shows the answer on the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

-2=-3/4×(x-6)

Distribute -3/4 through the parenthesis

-2= -3/4x+9/2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

-8=-3x+18

Move the variable to the left side and change its sign

3x-8=18

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

3x=18+8

Add the numbers

3x=26

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x=26/3

Alternative Form- x=8 2/3 or x=8.6
