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%.

One side of a triangle is 2 times the second side. The third side is 5 ft longer than the second side. The perimeter of a triang
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The length of each side of triangle are 19 ft, 24 ft and 38 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of second side be x.

Now given:

Length of first side is 2 times length of second side.

Length of first side = 2x

Also, Length of third side is 5 ft longer than the second side.

Length of third side = 5+x

Perimeter of triangle = 81 ft.

We need to find the length of each side.

Now perimeter of triangle is sum of all three sides of triangle.

Therefore;

Perimeter of triangle =  Length of first side + length of second side + Length of third side.

2x+x+5+x=81 ft\\4x+5=81ft\\4x= 81 -5 ft\\4x = 76ft\\x= \frac{76}{4} = 19 ft

Length of Second Side = 19 ft.

Length of First side = 2x= 2\times19 = 38 ft

Length of Third side = 5+x= 5+19=24ft

Hence the Length of triangles are 19 ft,38 ft,24 ft.

You have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. What is the greatest number of full batches of trail mi
nikitadnepr [17]
Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.
