Various studies indicate that approximately 11% of the world's population is left handed. You think this number is actually high

er. You take an SRS of 225 people and find that 31 of them are left handed. Test your claim at the 5% significance level.
A. State your null and alternative hypotheses.
B. Sketch the rejection region.
C. Calculate the test statistic.

Answer:

a. H0 : p ≤ 0.11 Ha : p >0.11 ( one tailed test )

d. z= 1.3322

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our hypothesis as

a. H0 : p ≤ 0.11 Ha : p >0.11 ( one tailed test )

According to the given conditions

p`= 31/225= 0.1378

np`= 225 > 5

n q` = n (1-p`) = 225 ( 1- 31/225)= 193.995> 5

p = 0.4 x= 31 and n 225

c. Using the test statistic

z=  p`- p / √pq/n

d. Putting the values

z= 0.1378- 0.11/ √0.11*0.89/225

z= 0.1378- 0.11/ √0.0979/225

z= 0.1378- 0.11/ 0.02085

z= 1.3322

at 5% significance level the z- value is ± 1.645 for one tailed test

The calculated value falls in the critical region so we reject our null hypothesis H0 : p ≤ 0.11 and accept  Ha : p >0.11 and  conclude that the data indicates that the 11% of the world's population is left-handed.

The rejection region is attached.

The P- value is calculated by finding the corresponding value of the probability of z from the z - table and subtracting it from 1.

which appears to be 0.95 and subtracting from 1 gives 0.04998

Do mechanical waves travel faster or slower in more dense media?
Lunna [17]

When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes. As waves travel into the denser medium, they slow down and wavelength decreases. Part of the wave travels faster for longer causing the wave to turn. The wave is slower but the wavelength is shorter meaning frequency remains the same

What is 0.30214 rounded to 2 significant<br> figures.
Sati [7]

Answer:

0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to significant figures which means two numbers following the decimal point for this problem. No rounding is necessary as no numbers are over five following your first two digits past the decimal place.
