Answer:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.36 estimated proportion with the survey

p_o=0.41 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is lower than 0.41.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.41  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.41  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{100}}}=-1.017

Answer:

z test statistic is -1.042 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station.

Let Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.41 {means that % of the viewing audience in the area is 41%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_1 : p \neq 0.41 {means that % of the viewing audience in the area is different from 41%}

The z-test statistics we will use here is One sample proportion test ;

          T.S. = \frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, p = % of the viewing audience based on the Nielsen ratings = 41%

       \hat p  = % of the viewing audience based on a survey of 100 viewers = 36%

       n = sample of viewers = 100

So, test statistics = \frac{0.36 - 0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.36(1-0.36)}{100} } }

                             = -1.042

Therefore, the z test statistic is -1.042 .

The price of a game that's been discounted<br> 18% off its list price (x)
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The price of a game is  0.82x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the list price of a game

Remember that

100\%-18\%=82\%=82/100=0.82

To find out the price of a game that's been discounted  18% off its list price, multiply the list price by the number 0.82

so

(x)(0.82)=0.82x

Choose the correct zeros for the following quadratic function.
bezimeni [28]
Replace f(x) with 0. Then solve for x

f(x) = x^2 + 5x - 14
0 = x^2 + 5x - 14
x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0
(x+7)(x-2) = 0 ... factor (think of two numbers that multiply to -14 and add to 5)
x+7 = 0 or x-2 = 0
x = -7 or x = 2

The two zeros, roots, or x intercepts are x = -7 or x = 2

Answer: Choice C) {2, -7}
