Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids have a wide variety of health benefits. Omega-3 oils can be found in foods such as f

ish, walnuts, and flaxseed. A company selling milled flaxseed advertises that one tablespoon of the product contains, on average, at least 3800 mg of ALNA, the primary omega-3.
(a) The company plans to conduct a test to ensure that there is sufficient evidence that their claim is correct. To be safe, they want to make sure that evidence shows the average is higher than 3800 mg. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

(b) Suppose, instead, that a consumer organization plans to conduct a test to see if there is evidence against the claim that the product contains an average of 3800 mg per tablespoon. The consumer organization will only take action if it finds evidence that the claim made by the company is false, and that the actual average amount of omega-3 is less than 3800 mg. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

Answer:

An null hypothesis is one that states there is no statistically significant relationship between two variables or a position that states something is not happening

An alternative hypothesis is one that states there is a statistically significant relationship between two variables or a position that states something is happening.

(a)

μ = 3800

μ > 3800

(b)

μ = 3800

μ < 3800

According to a Pew Research Center study, in May 2011, 35% of all American adults had a smart phone (one which the user can use
taurus [48]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.4 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{300}}}=1.82  

p_v =P(z>1.82)=0.034  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

And the best conclusion would be:

There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smart phone (Pvalue = 0.034).

And for the second case the correct system of hypothesis is:

H0: p = 0.078; Ha: p > 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=300 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{120}{300}=0.4 estimated proportion of college students that have a smart phone

p_o=0.35 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.90

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is >0.35.:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.35  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.35  

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.

Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.4 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{300}}}=1.82  

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=0.1. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>1.82)=0.034  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

And the best conclusion would be:

There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smart phone (Pvalue = 0.034).

And for the second case the correct system of hypothesis is:

H0: p = 0.078; Ha: p > 0.078

The correct answer should be 4. 2 times 0.3 is 0.6. 3.4 plus 0.6 equals 4. ;)

William estimated 140 by placing the point on the number line which is true about his estimate
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Familiarize yourself with perfect squares in the neighborhood of 140:

10^2 = 100

11^2 = 121

12^2 = 144

Note that 140 is much closer to the perfect square than it is to the perfect square 121.  The value of √140 must lie closer to 12 than to 11.

Place a point on the number line about 3/4 of the way from 11 to 12.
