The distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance, distance is always positive therefor the absolute value will always be positive.

Short answer: no, absolute value is always positive

I hope this helps :)

Use this information to answer the questions. University personnel are concerned about the sleeping habits of students and the n
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.554 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{377}}}=2.097  

p_v =P(Z>2.097)=0.018  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of  students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is significantly higher than 0.5 or the half.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=377 represent the random sample taken

X=209 represent the students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)

\hat p=\frac{209}{377}=0.554 estimated proportion of students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

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 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

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.

3) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.554 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{377}}}=2.097  

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=0.05. 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>2.097)=0.018  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of  students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is significantly higher than 0.5 or the half.

How do i explain how the distance on the number line and opposit numbers are related
strojnjashka [21]
Hey there!

The distance on a number line is the distance that a point is from 0.
For example, if you were looking at a number line and there was a point on the number 5, that point would be 5 units away from 0.

Opposite numbers are related because they are the same distance away from 0. For example -3 and 3 are both 3 units away from the number 0.

I hope this helped! :-)

AN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS!!
stepan [7]

A) Scale factor:

Divide 2 congruent sides:

24 / 36 = 0.667

From PQR to XYZ is a 0.667  (2/3 as a fraction) scale factor.

B) Volume = (1/2 x base x side) x height:

Volume = 1/2 * 36 x 48 = 864 * 15 = 12,960 cubic inches.

C) Find the height of the prism:

7776 = (1/2 * base * sides) x height

7776 = (1/2 x 36 x 48) * height

7776 = 864 * height

Height = 7776 / 864 = 9 inches.

The scale factor is 2/3, the height of XYZ = 2/3 *9 = 6 inches.

Volume of XYZ = 1/2 x 24 x 32 = 384 x 6 = 2,304 cubic inches.
