An article claims that 12% of trees are infested by a bark beetle. A random sample of 1,000 trees were tested for traces of the

infestation and found that 127 trees were affected.
z = p - p/underroot pq/n
Using the formula and data provided, what is the value of the z-test statistic?

Answer:

0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for z test is given above as:

z = p' - p/√(pq/n)

p' = sample proportion

= Number of infested samples(trees)/ Number of samples

p' = 127/1000 = 0.127

p = 12% = 0.12

q= 1 - 0.12 = 0.88

n = number of samples = 1000

z = 0.127 - 0.12/√(0.88 × 0.12/1000)

z = 0.007/√0.0001056

z = 0.007 /0.0102761861

z = 0.6811865737

Therefore, the z test statistic is approximately ≈ 0.68

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To compete in the touch screen phone market a manufacturer aims to release a new touch screen with a battery life said to last more than two hours longer than the leading product which is the desired feature in phones.

To test this claim two samples were taken:

Sample 1

X: battery lifespan of a unit of the new product (min)

n= 93 units of the new product

mean battery life X[bar]= 8:53hs= 533min

S= 84 min

Sample 2

X: battery lifespan of a unit of the leading product (min)

n= 102 units of the leading product

mean battery life X[bar]= 5:40 hs = 340min

S= 93 min

The population variances of both variances are unknown and distinct.

To test if the average battery life of the new product is greater than the average battery life of the leading product by 2 hs (or 120 min) the parameters of interest will be the two population means and we will test their difference, the hypotheses are:

H₀: μ₁ - μ₂ ≤ 120

H₁:  μ₁ - μ₂ > 120

Considering that there is not enough information about the distribution of both variables, but both samples are big enough, we can apply the central limit theorem and approximate the distribution of both sample means to normal, this way we can use the standard normal:

Z= \frac{(X[bar]_1-X[bar]_2)-(Mu_1-Mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{S_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{S_2^2}{n_2}  } }

Z≈N(0;1)

Z= \frac{(533-340)-120}{\sqrt{\frac{84^2}{56} +\frac{93^2}{102}  } }= 5.028

I hope this helps!

Please answer this , like ASAP
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

let total be U and strawberry be S and.apple be A .

now

n[U]=200

n[S]=56% 0f 200=112

n[A]=44%of 200=88

n[A n S]=30%of 200=60

now

\bar {A U S}=?

we have

n[U]=n[A] +n[B]-n[ A n B]+\bar{A U S}

\bar{A U S}=200-112-88+60=60

<u>option C. 60 is a required answer.</u>
