Round 35,678 to the nearest thousand

] It is claimed that 42% of US college graduates had a mentor in college. For a sample of college graduates in Colorado, it was

Bad White [126]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.480 -0.42}{\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{1045}}}=3.930$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>3.930)=0.0000443$

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so then we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=1045 represent the random sample selected

X=502 represent the college graduates with a mentor

$\hat p=\frac{502}{1045}=0.480$ estimated proportion of college graduates with a mentor

$p_o=0.42$ is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true proportion is higher than 0.42, the system of hypothesis are.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.42$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.42$

The statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing the info we got:

$z=\frac{0.480 -0.42}{\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{1045}}}=3.930$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>3.930)=0.0000443$

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so then we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.42

Read the word problem. Hershel buys 5 bags of cookies, 3 bags of granola, and several bags of fruit snacks from a bake sale. In

Answer : Hershel buys 2 bags of fruit snacks.

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of bags of granola =3

Number of bags of cookies = 5

Total number of bags he buys from the bake sale =10

$\text{Remaining bags are of fruit snacks} =10-(5+3)=10-8=2$
