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 .

While taking a ride in a hot-air balloon in Napa Valley, Francisco wonders how high he is. To find out, he chooses a landmark th
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:the height of the balloon is 670.244 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The right angle triangle BLD represents the scenario.

h represents the height of the balloon.

We would apply trigonometric ratio to determine h.

Tan # = opposite side/adjacent side

Looking at triangle LCD,

# = 61 degrees

h = opposite side

x = adjacent side

Tan 61 = h/x

1.7321 = h/x

h = 1.7321x

Looking at triangle LBD,

# = 54 degrees

h = opposite side

x + 100 = adjacent side

Tan 54 = h/x + 100

1.3764 = h/x + 100

h = 1.3764(x + 100)

Therefore,

1.7321x = 1.3764(x + 100)

1.7321x = 1.3764x + 137.64

137.64 = 1.7321x - 1.3764x

137.64 = 0.3557x

x = 137.64/0.3557 = 386.955

h = 1.7321x = 386.955 × 1.7321

h = 670.244 feet

“on the following checking account record, enter the figures and add or subtract them to keep the running total correct”
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The running total is  $95.27.

There are two types of records, Active and Inactive. There are also two major classifications, Vital and Important.

<h3>Why is record keeping important?</h3>
  • In order to create reliable financial statements, you need good records. These consist of balance sheets and income (profit and loss) statements. These statements might assist you in managing your business and dealing with your bank or creditors.

He opened the account with $299.88. He subsequently wrote many cheques, from which you deduct the sum of 299,88.

He deposited a check, thus 299.88-90.48= 209.40, 209.40 - 65.00= 144.40, and then he added $381.33 to 144.40 to get 525.73.

then you need to deduct more since he wrote more checks.

Consequently, 525.73-54.47=471.26, and 471.26-375.99=95.27, giving him a balance of $95.27.

  • Good Records entail documents comprising recorded data that show the efficacy of the quality management system, independent of the format or feature.
