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

egative impact on academic performance. In a random sample of 377 U.S. college students, 209 students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than half of U.S. college students experience EDS? Use a 5% level of significance.

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.

What is a way to write 11 more than twice x is less than 44
madam [21]

(2x) + 11 < 44

x is multiplied by two because we are looking for twice of x. 11 is added to the 2x because we are looking for eleven more than the sum of twice of x. Since 2x + 11 is less than 44, we use the lesser than ( < ) symbol.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

a). 59.049°C

b). 2.1179 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression representing the final temperature after decrease in temperature of the metal from 100°C to T°C is,

T = 100(0.9)^{x}

where x = duration of cooling

a). Temperature when x = 5 seconds

T = 100(0.9)⁵

  = 59.049

  ≈ 59.049°C

b). If the temperature of the metal decreases from 100°C to 80°C

Which means for T = 80°C we have to calculate the duration of cooling 'x' seconds

80 = 100(0.9)^{x}

0.8 = (0.9)^{x}

By taking log on both the sides

log(0.8) =log[(0.9)^{x}]

-0.09691 = x[log(0.9)]

-0.09691 = -0.045757x

x = \frac{0.09691}{0.045757}

x = 2.1179

x ≈ 2.1179 seconds
