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%.

Marge purchased bicycle helmets and tire pumps. Each helmet cost $12.00 and each pump cost $8.00. She purchased a total of 18 it
algol [13]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of helmet be x

cost of 1 helmet = $12.00

cost of x helmet = $12.00*x = $12x

Let the no. of tire pumps be y

cost of 1 tire pumps = $8.00

cost of x tire pumps = $8.00*y = $8y

Given that total no. of helmet and pump is 18

thus

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

also given

total money spent is $188

thus

12x+8y = 188

using y = 18 - x

we have

12x + 8(18-x) = 188

=> 12x+ 144 - 8x = 188

=> 4x = 188-144 = 44

=> x = 44/4 = 11

Thus, no of helmet bought by Margo is 11.

A random survey of 9th and 12th grade students was taken regarding the type of drink they liked to order at their local coffee s
san4es73 [151]

The table is shown below in the attached picture.

The grand total is the bottom rightmost cell, yellow in color.

12th graders AND likes specialty cold drinks is the cell colored green.

These 137 people are p% of the total. To get the value of p, we will divide this number (137) by grand total (750) and multiply by 100 to get the value.

\frac{137}{750} =0.183=18.3%.

Rounded to the nearest percent, it is 18%. Answer choice D is correct.
