A random sample of the correct choice on 400 multiple-choice questions on a variety of AP exams1 shows that B was the most commo

n correct choice, with 90 of the 400 questions having B as the answer. Does this provide evidence that B is more likely to be the correct choice than would be expected if all five options were equally likely? Show all details of the test. The data are available in APMultipleChoice.

b) Calculate the test statistic and p-value

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.2  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.2  

b) z=\frac{0.225 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{400}}}=1.25  

p_v =P(Z>1.25)=0.106  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=400 represent the random sample taken

X=90 represent the number of questions with B as the correct answer

\hat p=\frac{90}{400}=0.225 estimated proportion of arrests that were not prosecuted

p_o=0.2 is the value that we want to test, since we assume that each question present 5 options and just one is correct, 1/5 =0.2 if all five options were equally likely

\alpha represent the significance level

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 true proportion is higher than 0.2.:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.2  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.2  

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.

3) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.225 -0.2}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{400}}}=1.25  

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. 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>1.25)=0.106  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of B correct answers is not significantly higher than 0.2.

What is the slope for 10,15 and 15,20
makvit [3.9K]
So it will be y1-y2, so 15-20 is -5

Then x1-x2, so 10-15 is -5.

-5/-5 = 1

There’s ya slope : 1

a vegetarian sandwich is in the aproximate shape of a cone. the height of the sandwich is 6 inches and the base diameter is 3.5
Olenka [21]

Answer: 19.2inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is calculated as:

= 1/3πr²h

where,

π = 3.14

r = radius = diameter/2 = 3.5/2 = 1.75

h = height = 6

Volume = 1/3πr²h

= 1/3 × 3.14 × 1.75² × 6

= 19.2325

= 19.2inches³

Therefore, the volume of the cone-shaped sandwich is 19.2inches³.

If a gold bar has a length of 17.78 cm, a width of 9.208 cm, a height of 4.445 cm, and the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3, what
kozerog [31]

Answer:

17.78×9.208×4.445=727.7275768

D=mass÷volume

mass=density×volume

mass=19.3g/cm3×727,7275768=14045,14223224=14045grams
