Answer:

z=\frac{0.849 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{232}}}=1.869  

p_v =2*P(Z>1.869)=0.0616  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults were no longer smoking after one month is not significantly different from 0.8 or 80% .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=232 represent the random sample taken

X represent the adults were no longer smoking after one month

\hat p=0.849 estimated proportion of adults were no longer smoking after one month

p_o=0.80 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 true proportion is 0.8.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.8  

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.

3) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.849 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{232}}}=1.869  

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 bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>1.869)=0.0616  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults were no longer smoking after one month is not significantly different from 0.8 or 80% .

Which expression is equal to 24 - 18 ÷ 3<br> A) 24 -6<br> B) 6 ÷ 3<br> C) 8 - 18 <br> D) 6 - 3
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Correct Answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 - 18 ÷ 3

According to PEMDAS  Rule where P stands for parenthesis ,E exponents,M multiplication ,D division , A addtion and S subtraction

so first we divide 18 by 3 we get

One mixture contains 6 fluid Ounces of water and 10 fluid Ounces of vinegar. A second mixture
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The mixtures are not proportional.

3 fluid ounces of vinegar has to be added in the second mixture to make it proportional to the first mixture.

its =3

Step-by-step explanation:

The one mixture contains 6 fluid ounces and 10 fluid ounces of water and vinegar respectively.

Therefore, the ratio of water to vinegar in the first mixture is 6 : 10 = 3 : 5

Now, a second mixture contains 9 fluid ounces of water and 12 fluid ounces of vinegar.

Hence, the ratio of water to vinegar in the second mixture is 9 : 12 = 3 : 4

Therefore, the mixtures are not proportional.

Therefore, we have to add x fluid ounces of vinegar to the second mixture to make it in the ratio of 3 : 5.

So,

⇒ 12 + x = 15

⇒ x = 3 fluid ounces.

Therefore, 3 fluid ounces of vinegar has to be added in the second mixture to make it proportional to the first mixture. (Answer
