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% .

gulaghasi [49]

Jon pays $40 and $15. This means that he pays a total of $55. You multiply the total cost by 0.05, which is $2.75. To convert a number to a percentage, multiply it by 100. So, 0.05 as a percent is equal to 5%.

His sales tax will be $2.75.

Given the following prescription formula, what is the ratio strength (nearest whole number) of methylcellulose in the finished p
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

147

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Progesterone =  3.8 g

Glycerin = 7 mL

2% methylcellulose solution 50 mL

Cherry syrup ad = 90 mL

Now,

The total volume of the solution = 7 + 50 + 90 = 147 mL

Also,

2% methylcellulose solution 50 mL is concluded as:

the volume of  methylcellulose in the solution is 2% of the total volume of the solution

thus,

volume of methylcellulose = 0.02 × 50 mL = 1 mL

Therefore,

Ratio strength of methylcellulose in the finished product

=\frac{\textup{volume of methylcellulose}}{\textup{ total volume of the solution}}

or

= \frac{\etxtup{1}}{\textup{ 147}}

Hence, the answer according to the question is 147
