In a recent study, researchers found that 31 out of 150 boys aged 7-13 were overweight or obese. On the basis of this study can

we conclude that more than 15% of the boys aged 7-13 in the sampled population are overweight or obese? Use a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.15  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.15  

2) 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) z_{crit}= 1.64

And the rejection zone would be z>1.64

4) Calculate the statistic  

z=\frac{0.207 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{150}}}=1.955  

5) Statistical decision  

For this case our calculated value is on the rejection zone, so we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance and we can conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=150 represent the random sample taken

X=21 represent the boys overweight

\hat p=\frac{31}{150}=0.207 estimated proportion of boy overweigth

p_o=0.15 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)  

1) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the true proportion of boys obese is higher than 0.15.:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.15  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.15  

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)  

2) 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) Decision rule

For this case we need a value on the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.05 of the area on the right tail and on this case this value is:

z_{crit}= 1.64

And the rejection zone would be z>1.64

4) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.207 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{150}}}=1.955  

5) Statistical decision  

For this case our calculated value is on the rejection zone, so we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance and we can conclude that the true proportion is higher than 0.15

What is the volume of a right circular cone if the circumference of the base is 125.6 ft and the height is 75 ft.? Use π=3.14 an
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The volume of a right circular cone is 31400\ \text{feet}^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the base of a right circular cone is 125.6 ft.

Height of cone is 75 ft.

Circumference of base is :

C=2\pi r, r is radius

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{125.6}{2\times 3.14}\\\\r=20\ ft

The volume of a cone is given by :

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\\\\V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.14\times (20)^2\times 75\\\\V=31400\ \text{feet}^3

So, the volume of a right circular cone is 31400\ \text{feet}^3.

Hosea borrowed $20,000 to buy a new speed boat. The interest rate on his loan is 5%. If he plans to pay the loan back in three y
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a. Interest amount is $3,000.

b. Total cost is $23,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How much interest will he pay

This can be calculated as follows:

Interest amount = Principal loan Amount * Interest rate * Number of years ........ (1)

Where;

Principal loan Amount = $20,000

Interest rate = 5%

Number of years = 3

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Interest amount = $20,000 * 5% * 3 = $3,000

b. What will be the total cost that he will owe including interest?

Total cost = Principal loan Amount + Interest amount = $20,000 + $3,000 = $23,000
