A publisher reports that 26% of their readers own a laptop. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is

actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 100 found that 17% of the readers owned a laptop. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to support the executive's claim?

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the executive's claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage of 26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 100

p = 26% = 0.26

Alpha, α = 0.01

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.26\\H_A: p \neq 0.26

This is a two-tailed test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = 0.17

z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.17-0.26}{\sqrt{\frac{0.26(1-0.26)}{100}}} = -2.051

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.

P-value = 0.040267

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the executive's claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage of 26%.

Please help I am desperate
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

72pi cubic inches

1/3 pi r ^2 * h = 72 pi

1/3 r^2 h = 72

You can theoretically find infinite answers to this and get enough points for the semester where you don't have to do work anymore. I will list a couple more possible answers below

r = radius, h = height

r = 2, h = 54

r = 3, h = 24

r = 4, h = 27/2

r = √(1/pi), h = 72pi

Write the equation of the line graphed below
zimovet [89]

Answer:

y = 5/8x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y/change in x

slope = 5/8

Using y = mx + b find b.

y = 5/8x + b

-2 = 5/8(-4) + b

b = 1/2

y = 5/8x + 12

<em>good luck, i hope this helps :)</em>
