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%.

$700 at 8% for 6 years
Elenna [48]
It could mean
1. simple interest
2. compound interest


1.simple interest
 so just 8% of that 700 is added on
find 8% of 700
8% of 700=0.08 times 700=0.56
6 years=0.56 times 6=3.36
add
3.36+700=703.36

2. compound  interst

that means the each year, it gives you 8% on that new thing
so
8%=0.08
so each year, it is multiplied by 1.08 since you add the original (1) to the 8% 0.08
so
6 years means
700 times 1.08^6=700 times 1.08 times 1.08 times 1.08 times 1.08 times 1.08 times 1.08=1110.81


answers are
if simple interest=$703.36
if compound interst=$1110.81

Which graph shows f(c)=0.5|x+3|-2
iVinArrow [24]

The graph that shows f(c)=0.5|x+3|-2 has been added in the attachment.

<h3>How to solve for the graph</h3>

We are given the equation to be f(x) = 0.5|x + 3| – 2

This equation above is an absolute value equation that was entered into a graphing calculator

The absolute value equation is represented by the values

f(x) = a|x - h| + k

in the equation above, h and k are the vertex of the graph

when we compare the absolute value equation with the equation we have in the question, we would have h = +3 and k = -2

Hence we would say that the vertex is 3 , -2.

When the graph was plotted, the vertex is the point that shows that meeting at a point in the point 3, - 2 are shown as the vertex also
