Suppose we are testing people to see if the rate of use of seat belts has changed from a previous value of 88%. Suppose that in

our random sample of 500 people, we see that 450 have the seat belt fastened. (a) About how many of 500 would we expect to be using their seat belts if the proportion who use seat belts is unchanged?
(b) We observe 450 people out of a random sample of 500 using their seatbelt. The p-value is 0.167. Explain the meaning of the p-value.

Answer:

a) We would expect to see 500*0.88=440

b) z=\frac{0.9 -0.88}{\sqrt{\frac{0.88(1-0.88)}{500}}}=1.376  

p_v =2*P(Z>1.376)=0.167  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is not significant different from 0.9.

The p value is a criterion to decide if we reject or not the null hypothesis, when p_v we reject the null hypothesis in other case we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And represent the "probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct".  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X=450 represent the people that have the seat belt fastened

\hat p=\frac{450}{500}=0.9 estimated proportion of people that have the seat belt fastened

p_o=0.88 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest)  Part aWe would expect to see 500*0.88=440Part bConcepts and formulas to use  We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion changes fro m 0.88.:  Null hypothesis:[tex]p=0.88  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.88  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, 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{0.9 -0.88}{\sqrt{\frac{0.88(1-0.88)}{500}}}=1.376  

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 assumed is \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>1.376)=0.167  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is not significant different from 0.9.

The p value is a criterion to decide if we reject or not the null hypothesis, when p_v we reject the null hypothesis in other case we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And represent the "probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct".

Rani scores 4 times as many baskets as Layla. Tash scores 8 baskets less than Rani. They score 100 baskets in total. How many ba
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Tash scores 40 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Rani = R

Layla = L

Tash = T

R = 4L

T = 4L-8

As L + R + T = 100

L + 4L + 4L-8 = 100

Collect like terms

9L - 8 = 100

+ 8 both sides

9L = 108

divide by 9 both sides

L = 108 / 9

L = 12

Now..... T = 4L-8 substitute L with 12

T = 48 - 8

T = 40
