A study by Consumer Reports showed that 64% of supermarket shoppers believe supermarket brands to be as good as national name br

ands. To investigate whether this result applies to its own product, the manufacturer of a national name-brand ketchup asked a sample of shoppers whether they believed that supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup. A random sample of 350 shoppers showed that 217 thought the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand. Should we conduct a one or two tail test in this situation?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.62 -0.64}{\sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{350}}}=-0.780  

p_v =2*P(z  

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

Step-by-step explanation:

She need to conduct a two tailed hypothesis test since she want to check if the standar dof 0.64 for the proportion is satisfied.

Data given and notation

n=350 represent the random sample taken

X=217 represent the shoppers who thought the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand

\hat p=\frac{217}{350}=0.62 estimated proportion of shoppers who thought the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand

p_o=0.64 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95 (assumed)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of shoppers who thought the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand is 0.64.:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.64  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.64  

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.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.62 -0.64}{\sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{350}}}=-0.780  

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 bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

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

The graph below shows the prices of different numbers of boots at a store: A graph is shown. The values on the x axis are 0, 2,
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

b=12.50p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x                 y

0                 0

2                 25

4                 50

6                 75

8                 100

10                125

To Find: Which equation can be used to determine p, the cost of b boots?

Solution :

Using point slope form Find the equation of line of the given coordinates

Let (x_{1} , y_{1})=(0,0)

Let (x_{2} , y_{2})=(2,25)

So, formula : y-y_{1} =\frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}} *(x-x_{1})

y-0 =\frac{25-0}{2-0} *(x-0)

y= 12.50x

Now we are given that cost of b boots is p

Since we are given that x axis is Number of Boots and y in price

So in the equation put x = b and y = p

So, equation : b=12.50p

Hence Option 4 is correct
