There were 2430 Major League Baseball games played in 2009, and the home team won the game in 53% of the games. If we consider t

he games played in 2009 as a sample of all MLB games, test to see if there is evidence, at the 5% level, that the home team wins more than half the games. (Show all steps of the hypothesis test to receive points)

Answer:

z=\frac{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{2430}}}=2.958  

p_v =P(Z>2.958)=0.0015  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=2430 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.53 estimated proportion when the home team won the game

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v 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 proportion is higher than 0.5 or 50%:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

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{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{2430}}}=2.958  

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

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

p_v =P(Z>2.958)=0.0015  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 .

If a = 7 - 4√3, find the value of a + 1/a​
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate a+1/a, we first need to calculate for a.

a = 7 - 4 * \sqrt[2]{3}

square root of 3 = 1.73

a = 7 - 4 * 1.73

a = 7 - 6.9

a = 0.1

0.1 + 1 / 0.1 = 0.1 + 10 = 10.1

Now, in case 4 wasn't being multiplied with the square root of 3, and instead, it was four root of 3, I am gonna do the calculations again:

a = 7 - \sqrt[4]{3}

a = 7 - 1.31

a = 5.69

5.69 + 1 / 5.69 = 5.69 + 0.17 = 5.86

Hope I Helped!

A null hypothesis is being tested. How does the confidence level affect the testing process?
xxTIMURxx [149]
<span>If you have a high confidence level, the chance of rejecting the null hypothesis is rare. If you have a low confidence level, the chance of of rejecting the null hypothesis is nonexistent. If you have a low confidence level, the chance of of rejecting the null hypothesis is rare. If you have a high confidence level, the chance of of rejecting the null hypothesis is high.</span>

Delicious77 [7]
Let the prices of a pack of potato chips and can of coke be x and y respectively
3x+2y=50-9
3x+2y=41........... (1)
4x+5y=50+21
4x+5y=71............(2)
Multiply (1) with 4 and (2) with3
12x+8y=164
12x+15y=213
On subtracting above eqs. we get
7y= 49
y=7
Putting value of y in (2)
4x+5(7)=71
4x+35=71
4x=36
x=9
x=$9
