In a poll of 1000 adults in July​ 2010, 540 of those polled said that schools should ban sugary snacks and soft drinks. Complete

parts a and b below. a. Do a majority of adults​ (more than​ 50%) support a ban on sugary snacks and soft​ drinks? Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05.State the null and alternative hypotheses. Note that p is defined as the population proportion of people who believe that schools should ban sugary foods.

Answer:

z=2.53  

p_v =P(z>2.53)=0.0057  

The p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 5% of significance, the proportion of adults who support a ban on sugary snacks and soft​ drinks  is more than 0.5 or 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

X=540 represent the adults that said that schools should ban sugary snacks and soft drinks

\hat p=\frac{540}{1000}=0.54 estimated proportion of adults that said that schools should ban sugary snacks and soft drinks

p_o=0.5 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 majority of adults​ (more than​ 50%) support a ban on sugary snacks and soft​ drinks, the system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

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{0.54 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1000}}}=2.53  

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 one side right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.53)=0.0057  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that at 5% of significance, the proportion of adults who support a ban on sugary snacks and soft​ drinks  is more than 0.5 or 50%.

Answer:

\frac{2  \: +  \: 3 \sqrt{5} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3}  +  \sqrt{5}  =

= \frac{2}{3}  + ( \sqrt{5}   \times  \frac{3}{3} )

= \frac{2}{3}  +  \frac{3 \sqrt{5} }{3}

=  \frac{2  \: +  \: 3 \sqrt{5} }{3}

A scale factor of 1 will produce a congruent image​
horsena [70]

Answer:

no factor of one

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement (a stretch). If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction (a shrink). If the scale factor is 1, the figure and the image are congruent. The word "dilate" is often heard in relation to the human eye.

If marie wants to decorate a gift box with ribbon. She measures three pieces that she has with a ruler.They are 32. Centimeters,
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: No, she does not have enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- The measures of the three pieces are: 32 centimeters, 41.19 centimeters and 57.8 centimeters long.

- She need 200 centimeters of ribbon for the box.

2. Therefore, you must add the measures given in the problem to know if Marie has enough ribbon to decorate the gift box. Then:

32cm+41.19cm+57.8cm=130.99cm

3. As you can see:

 130.99 cm<200 cm

Therefore, she does not have enough ribbon.

Solve √(3x+7)+2√(x-8)=0.
laiz [17]

Answer:

The solution to this question is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

√(3x+7)+2√(x-8)=0.    

√(3x+7)=-2√(x-8)           (i)

square of the equation (i)

Then

(√(3x+7))^2=(-2√(x-8))^2

we know that √a*√a=(√a)^2=a So,

(3x+7)=4(x-8)      

3x+7=4x-32        //multiply by 4

32+7=4x-3x  exchange the value.

39=1x

x=39.
