Some people claim that they can tell the difference between a diet soda and a regular soda in the first sip. A researcher wantin

g to test this claim randomly sampled 80 such people. He then filled 80 plain white cups with soda, half diet and half regular through random assignment, and asked each person to take one sip from their cup and identify the soda as diet or regular. 53 participants correctly identified the soda.
(a) Do these data provide strong evidence that these people are able to detect the difference between diet and regular soda, in other words, are the results significantly better than just random guessing?

(b) Interpret the p-value in this context.

Part a)

p = population proportion of correct guesses

Null Hypothesis: p = 0.5

Alternative Hypothesis: p > 0.5

The claim that people can tell the difference of the two drinks is in the alternative hypothesis p > 0.5 meaning that it's more than just luck at play here. Saying p = 0.5 is basically saying there's a coin toss to determine the guess.

x = 53, n = 80

phat = x/n = 53/80 = 0.6625

SE = sqrt(p*(1-p)/n) = sqrt(0.5*(1-0.5)/83) = 0.05488212999484

z = (phat-p)/(SE)

z = (0.6625-0.5)/(0.05488212999484)

z = 2.96089091322218

z = 2.96

Use a table or calculator to find that

P(Z < 2.96) = 0.9985

So,

P(Z > 2.96) = 1-P(Z < 2.96)

P(Z > 2.96) = 1-0.9985

P(Z > 2.96) = 0.0015

The p-value is approximately 0.0015. This value is less than many alpha values commonly used (such as 0.01 or 0.05) so we reject the null hyptohesis that p = 0.5 and accept that p > 0.5 is true. So the participants aren't randomly guessing. The results are significantly better than random guesses.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part b)

The p value 0.0015 is the probability of observing 53 or more claims out of 80 claims, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. This p value is very very small, so there is a small chance that the null hypothesis is correct. The smaller the p value, the more likely we reject the null. The general rule is that if the p value is smaller than the significance level alpha, we reject the null. Your textbook will state what alpha is equal to. If not, then the default is alpha = 0.05

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope.
Alexandra [31]

The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope is y=-4x+1.

The given coordinate point is (-1, 5) and slope=-4.

<h3>What is the slope intercept form?</h3>

The slope intercept form of a straight line is one of the most common forms used to represent the equation of a line. The slope intercept formula can be used to find the equation of a line when given the slope of the straight line and the y-intercept.

The standard form of the slope intercept form is y=mx+c.

Substitute (x, y)=(-1, 5) and m=-4 in standard form of the slope intercept form, we get

5=-4×(-1)+c

⇒ c=5-4

⇒ c=1

Substitute m=-4 and c=1 in y=mx+c, we get

y=-4x+1

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope is y=-4x+1.
