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.

How many solutions does the following equation have? 10x-1=10x+4
zimovet [89]
  • Your answer is no solution.
  • Because if we transpose 10x to the left hand side with a change in the symbol, then it will become 0.
  • 10x - 1 = 10x +4
  • or, 10x - 10x = 4 + 5
  • or, 0 = 9
  • Hence, the equation has <em><u>no solution</u></em>.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

What is the hyperbola 25x^2-100y-9y^2-90x-350=0 in standard form?
sergij07 [2.7K]
WE need to complete the square on the x and y terms:-

25x^2 - 100x - 9y^2 - 90y = 350
25(x^2 - 4x +    ) - 9(y^2 + 10x       )  =   350 + 25(  )  - 9(  )
25(x^2 - 4x  + 4 ) - 9(y^2 + 10x  + 25)  = 350  + 25(4)  - 9(25)
25(x - 2)^2 - 9(y + 5)^2 = 

25(x - 2)^2   -  9(y + 5)^2          =  225
----------------    --------------            --------
    225                 225                    225

  ( x  - 2)^2         (y + 5)^2  
  -------------   -   --------------  =    1         Answer
        9                    25
