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% .

The answer is 7.

Look at the x=8 and then look up the y-value.

The graph passes (8,7) so therefore when x = 8 the y is 7

When 80% of a number is added to the number, the result is 252. what is the number
Rashid [163]
I Think The Answer Is 140.

The Expression: 0.8x + x = 252 Can Explain The Answer If x = 140.
Or: 1.8 Times x = 252 If x = 140.

What is the value of y?
Slav-nsk [51]
In a triangle all of the angles always add up to 180, so let's set up an equation.

79 + 37 + y = 180
Simplify
116 + y = 180
Subtract 116 from both sides.
y = 64

The value of y is 64.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP. :)

Which phrase represents the algebraic expression 3p+6/7p-9
omeli [17]

Answer:

The answer is the sum of three times a number and six, divided by the difference of seven times the number and nine

Step-by-step explanation:

3p = three x a number

7p = seven x a number

3p+6 = sum of three x a number plus six

7p-9 = difference of seven x the number minus nine

(3p+6)/(7p-9) = sum of three times x number plus six, divided by the difference of seven x the number - nine
