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

Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions, infinitely many
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

There is one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = -1

8x + 3y = -2

Multiply the first equation by -4

-8x -4y = 4

Then add the equations together to eliminate x

-8x -4y = 4

8x + 3y = -2

--------------------

   -y = 2

Multiply by -1

y =-2

Now find x

2x+y =-1

2x+-2 =-1

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2=-1+2

2x=1

Divide by 2

x = 1/2

Answer:

  A)  6.86×10⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to write 68600 in scientific notation.

<h3>Expanded form</h3>

The number 68600 can be written in expanded form with exponents as ...

  68600 = 6×10⁴ +8×10³ +6×10² +0×10¹ +0×10⁰

The left-most term of this sum tells you the exponent in scientific notation:

  68600 = 6.86×10⁴
