A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis $p >0.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem:

$n= 800$ the random sample of voters selected from the town

$\hat p = 0.34$ represent the proportion of residents favored construction

$p_o = 0.30$ represent the value desired to test.

A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 30%, so then that represent our claim and needs to be on the alternative hypothesis.

Based on this the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.3$

Alternative hypothesis $p >0.3$

And in order to test this hypothesis we can use a one sample z test for a population proportion and the statistic would be given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

And with the data given we have:

$z=\frac{0.34 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{800}}}=2.469$

On a car trip, Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove. Together they drove 500 miles. How many miles

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

210 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent it mathematically.

Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove, so we represent it by

B = 65 + ½S

It is also said that together, they drove 500 miles, we represent it with.

B + S = 500

Now, we solve simultaneously.

Let's eliminate the ½ in Ben's drive. So we multiply the equation by 2.

2B = 130 + S.

Rearranging, we have

S = 2B - 130.

We substitute this value of S, in the second equation. So we have.

B + (2B - 130) = 500, open the brackets

B + 2B - 130 = 500

3B - 130 = 500, collecting the like terms

3B = 500 + 130

3B = 630

B = 630/3

B = 210 miles.

Therefore, Ben drove 210 miles.

The total bill for drinks and a pizza for three people is $14.90 before tax. The group wants to leave a 15% tip on the cost of t

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

$2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to find a percentage of something, we can multiply whatever we're trying to find a percentage from by 0.X where X is equal to the number of the percentage. So in this case it's 15%. We can multiply $14.90 by 0.15 and we get 2.23500. Since we cannot have 2.235 dollars, we must round up decimal places.

The tip would be 2 dollars and 24 cents. ($2.24).
