A TV station claims that 38% of the 6:00 - 7:00 pm viewing audience watches its evening news program. A consumer group believes

this is too high and plans to perform a test at the 5% significance level. Suppose a sample of 830 viewers from this time range contained 282 who regularly watch the TV station’s news program. Carry out the test and compute the p-value.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.340 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{830}}}=-2.374  

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \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 proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program is significantly less than 0.38 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=830 represent the random sample taken

X=282 represent the people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program

\hat p=\frac{282}{830}=0.340 estimated proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program

p_o=0.38 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is less than 0.38:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.38  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.38  

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{0.340 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{830}}}=-2.374  

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 provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \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 proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program is significantly less than 0.38 .

5 1/3-3 2/4 find the difference
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1 10/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fractions and get them to the same bottom number, 12.  So it would be 5 4/12 -  3 6/12.

Take 1 away from 5 to get 4 and the one you pulled would be 12/12(also equal to 1).  4  16/12 - 3  6/12 would be 1  10/12

What is the probability of pulling out a red marble then a blue marble?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marble = 8+5+4 = 19

n(Y) = 8, n(B) = 4 and n(R) = 5

Prob(R) = 5/17

Prob(B) = 4/16 {one marble is pulled out already}

Prob(R and B) = 5/17 × 4/16

= 5/17 × 1/4

= 5/68

If r = 4 and ^a8 = 100, what is the first term of the geometric<br> sequence?
telo118 [61]

The first term of the geometric  sequence is 0.0061

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The general form of geometric  sequence is a, ar, ar²,ar³,.......

where,

  • a is the first term of the sequence.
  • r is the common ratio. Here, the common ratio r = 4.
  • The 8th term of the sequence is 100. Hence n = 8.

<u>The formula to find the nth term of the geometric sequence is given by :</u>

⇒ n_{th} term = ar^{n-1}

⇒ 8_{th}term  = a\times4^{8-1}

⇒ 100 = a \times 4^{7}

⇒ 100 = a \times 16384

⇒ a = \frac{100}{16384}

⇒ a = 0.0061

Therefore, the first term of the geometric  sequence is 0.0061
