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% .

Answer: 900π

Step-by-step explanation: To calculate the area of a circle, we do πr^2, where r is the radius. The radius is 30, so the answer is 900π.

Hope this helps!

2. c = 47,000 × n, where c is the cost of n number of bears.

3. a) The cost to ride 5 rides = $20.50, the cost to ride 8 rides = $28.00

The equation for the pattern, C(x) = 15.50 + 2.50 (r - 3), where C is the cost and r is the number of rides.

b) The cost to ride 12 rides = $36.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; To find the cost of one bear, we divide the cost of bears by the number.

If 4 bears cost $188,000, 1 bear costs = \frac{188000}{4} = $47,000.

If 7 bears cost $329,000, 1 bear costs = \frac{329,000}{7} = $47,000.

So the equation is c = 47,000 × n, where c is the cost to buy n bears.

Step 2; For every additional ride, the price increases by $2.50. So the equation for the pattern is C(x) = 13.50 + 2.50 (x - 3).

When the number of rides is 5, C(5) = 15.50 + 2.50 (5-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (2) = 15.50 + 5.0 = $20.50.

When the number of rides is 8, C(8) = 15.50 + 2.50 (8-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (5) = 15.50 + 12.50 = $28.00.

When the number of rides is 12, C(12) = 15.50 + 2.50 (12-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (9) = 13.50 + 22.5 = $36.00.
