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 .

A chef planning for a large banquet , thinks that 2 out of every 5 dinner guests will order his soup appetizer. He expects 800 g
makkiz [27]

Answer:

320 cups of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total number of guests expected T = 800

Proportion of that may order soup p = 2 out of 5 = 2/5

The number of cups he should prepare should be equal to the number of guests that are expected to order soup appetizer.

Number of guests Expected to order soup appetizer n is;

n = proportion × total guest = p × T

Substituting the given values;

n = 2/5 × 800 = 320

Therefore, he should prepare 320 cups of soup.

An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled usin
ioda
The height at time t is
h(t) = 144 - 16t²

When t = 0, then h = 144.
Therefore the height from the ground is 144 when the object is dropped.

When the object reaches the ground, h = 0.
Therefore
144 - 16t² = 0
t² = 144/16 = 9
t = 3 s

Answer:
The object reaches the ground in 3 seconds.
