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.

Given that the straight line 2x + 3y-10=0 intersects the x - axis at P. Find the
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

P(5, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Where the line crosses the x- axis the y- coordinate of the point P is zero.

Substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x

2x + 3(0) - 10 = 0 , that is

2x - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

Thus P = (5, 0 )

Paul [167]

Answer:Enrqiue's average was higher than Rosario's average by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rosario's average= sum of 78, 77, 64, 86, and 70/ no of scores= 375/5= 75

Enrique's average=sum of 90, 61, 79, 73, and 87/ no of scores = 390/5=78

78-75=3
