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

The standard equation of a circle is expressed as

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

where

h is the x coordinate of the center of the circle

k is the y coordinate of the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle(the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference

From the graph,

h = - 1

y = 4

r = 5

By substituting these values into the equation, we have

(x - - 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 5^2

(x + 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25

Thus, the equation of the circle is

(x + 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25

Given that Triangle ABC such that<br>a=8cm, b=7cm and c=9cm<br>tem and c= 9cm find Cos B​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

We use cosine rule also called cosine law which states

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC

given

a=8cm, b=7cm, c=9cm cos C?

9^2=8^+7^2-2*8*7 cos C

expand

81=64+49-112 cos C

like terms together

81-113=-112 cos C

-32=-112cos C

multiply both sides by -1

32=112cos C

divide both sides by 112

32/112=cos C

cosC=0.2857

find cos inverse of 0.2857

angle C= 73.40
