In a recent survey, 72 out of 100 consumers reported that they preferred plastic bags instead of paper bags for their groceries.

If there is no difference in the proportions who prefer each type in the population, the chance of such extreme results in a sample of this size is about .03. Because .03 is less than .05, we can conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in preference. Give a numerical value for each of the following.
(a) The p-value.
(b) The level of significance, α.
(c) The sample proportion.
(d) The sample size.
(e) The null value.

Answer:

a) P=0.03

b) α=0.05

c) 0.72

d) 100

e) 0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The P-value is the probability of the sample result. In this case the P-value is 0.03.

b) The level of significance is the threshold of probabilty for the null hypothesis to be reejcted or not. It is contrasted with the P-value to know if the effect is significant. In this case, the level of significance is 0.05.

NOTE: if it is a two-side test, the level of significance is 0.1 (two times 0.05).

c) The sample proportion is the one that results from the sample data. In this case, the sample proportion is 0.72.

p=72/100=0.72

d) The sample size is the amount of consumers reported. In this case is 100 customers.

e) The null value is 0.72 (equal to the sample proportion), because it is tested if there is no difference between the population proportion and the sample proportion.

Refer to the sample data for​ pre-employment drug screening shown below. If one of the subjects is randomly​ selected, what is t
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

  • probability of a false positive test result = 0.010
  • The non-drug user will suffer from the result since it is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the test result  is a false positive

total number of cases studied  (n) = 38 + 12 + 19 + 29 = 98

number of false positive cases ( x ) = 1

probability of false positive result = x / n = 1/98 = 0.010

The non-drug user will suffer from the result since it is positive

One number is 6 more than a second number, the sum of the two numbers is 330. what are the numbers?
maksim [4K]

Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>.  We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation.  First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y.  Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right.  168 is 6 more than 162.  162 + 168 equals 330.  So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

Answer:

w = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a ratio 98 : 84 = 42 : w

\frac{49}{42}=\frac{42}{w}

49w = 1764

w = 36
