The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of an adjoining community. A political study took a sample of 1000 vo

ters in the town and found that 54% of the residents favored annexation. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor annexation is more than 50%. Determine the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

z=\frac{0.54 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1000}}}=2.530  

p_v =P(z>2.530)=0.0057  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.54 estimated proportion of residents that favored the annexation

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

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 higher than 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

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 required we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.54 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1000}}}=2.530  

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 next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

p_v =P(z>2.530)=0.0057

Argyle sells computers. He keeps one
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Note: I'm assuming that he keeps 1/8 of the money spent for himself.

If this is what the question was asking, then the answer would be:

Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we write an equation.

1/8n = $500

Note: n is the variable I'm using to represent the amount of money Argyle must sell to get $500 as commission.

Then, to get the value of n and to get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides by 8:

1/8n * 8 = $500 * 8

= n = $4000

Therefore, Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers to keep 1/8 ($500) as commission.

Display the set of data in a histogram.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the third histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must check in a histogram is that the x-axis is represented the intervals and in the y-axis is represented the frequency.

The first histogram is incorrect just by observing the first bar, we notice that the correct frequency from 0 to 4 is 3, not 14. This histogram is incorrect.

Also, the second histogram is incorrect, the frequency of the first category is 3, not 12. This histogram is wrong.

The third histogram is correct because all the bars are in agreement with their frequencies.

The last histogram is incorrect, for example, the last frequency is 12, not 3.
