We are conducting a hypothesis test to determine if fewer than 80% of ST 311 Hybrid students complete all modules before class.

Our hypotheses are H0 : p = 0.8 and HA : p < 0.8. We looked at 110 randomly selected students and found that 97 of these students had completed the modules before class. What is the appropriate conclusion for this test?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.881 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{110}}}=2.124  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.8  

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

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Be Careful with the system of hypothesis!

If we conduct the test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.8

p_v =P(Z>2.124)=0.013  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=110 represent the random sample taken

X=97 represent the students who completed the modules before class

\hat p=\frac{97}{110}=0.882 estimated proportion of students who completed the modules before class

p_o=0.8 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v{/tex} 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 the true proportion is less than 0.8 or 80%:  Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.8  

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{0.881 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{110}}}=2.124  

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 assumed \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Be Careful with the system of hypothesis!

If we conduct the test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.8

p_v =P(Z>2.124)=0.013  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

What is the length of side AB of parallelogram ABCD?<br> units<br> 4g - 8<br> B<br> q+4
Andrews [41]

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

» <u>Concepts</u>

Parallelogram Side Theorem states that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, meaning they have the same length.

» <u>Application</u>

In this case, we're asked to apply the theorem to find the value of q and then find the length of AB. Thus, we have to set up the equation 4q - 8 = q + 4.

» <u>Solving</u>

Step 1: Subtract q from both sides.

  • 4q-8-q=q+4-q
  • 3q-8=4

Step 2: Add 8 to both sides.

  • 3q-8+8=4+8
  • 3q=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

  • 3q/3 = 12/3
  • q=4

Step 4: Plug in the value of q for side AB.

  • 4(4)-8
  • 16-8
  • 8

Therefore, the answer is 8 units.

Maddox wants to go back to college full-time. His current employer has agreed to reduce his hours from 40 hours to 25 hours whil
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Best fit for his new situation is modified budget A

Step-by-step explanation:

lets first calculate Wages which will be earned by Maddox after reduction of working hours .

from his current situation we can say that ,

for working of 40 hours ,  Maddox monthly income wages = $1760

so  for working of 1 hour , Maddox monthly income wages = $1760÷40=$44

hence for working of 25 hour , Maddox monthly income wages will be $44 × 25 = $1100.

So New wages after reduction of working hours will be $1100. but if you see , in budget B and C , Income wages is considered as $1600 which will not be case after reduction of working hours to 25 . hence Maddox cannot go for Modified Budget B and Modified Budget C.

So he needs to decide between Modified Budget A and Modified Budget D.

Now lets concentrate upon Net income for Modified Budget A and Modified Budget D. Net income for Modified Budget D is in negative that is -$515. that means he need to earn $515 more to meet Budget D , but income wages are fixed that is $1100.

At last lets see Net income of modified budget A. he is able to save $30 , hence we can say that best fit for his new situation is modified budget A

A campus radio station surveyed 500 students to determine the types of music they like. the survey revealed that 199 like rock,
Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>There are 24 who like both rock and country. There are 8 who like all 3 types, and these eight have been counted under the 24. This means that the number who like rock and country but not jazz is 24 - 8 = 16.
We are given a total of 155 who like country. We subtract the 16 who like both rock and country, and are left with 139 people who like country but not rock. (It does not matter whether they like jazz or not).
The probability is 155 out of the total of 500, so 155/500 = 31/100 = 0.31.
