Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored​ candies, 28​% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage

of blue candies is equal to 29​%. Use a 0.10 significance level to test that claim.

Answer:

We conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random selection of 100 colored​ candies, 28​% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%.

Let p = <u><em>population percentage of blue candies</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 29%     {means that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 29%     {means that the percentage of blue candies is different from 29​%}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z-test for</u> <u>proportions</u>;

                         T.S.  =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of blue coloured candies = 28%

           n = sample of colored​ candies = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{0.28-0.29}{\sqrt{\frac{0.29(1-0.29)}{100} } }

                                    =  -0.22

The value of the z-test statistics is -0.22.

<u>Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;</u>

               P-value = P(Z < -0.22) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.22)

                            = 1 - 0.5871 = 0.4129

Now, at a 0.10 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -1.645 and 1.645 for the two-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of z, <u><em>so we insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29​%.

"I'm thinking of a fraction that is equivalent to 5/6
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

20/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the variable be x and x-4

5/6 = x-4/x

cross multiply

5x = 6x - 24

24= x

thus, x is 24 and x-4 is 20

<u>20/24</u>

Consider the function. What is the y-intercept of f–1(x)? –16 –12
Mekhanik [1.2K]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write clear questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here, I'll assume the function as:

f(x)=x^2+2x-16

The y-intercept of a function is the point at which the graph of the function touches the y-axis. This occurs when we set x=0. In other words, we define the y-intercept (let's call it b as:

b=f(0)

Setting x=0 in our function we have:

b=f(0)=(0)^2+2(0)-16 \\ \\ \boxed{b=f(0)=-16}

So <em>in this context the y-intercept is -16</em>

Check whether the given number is a solution of the equation or
maxonik [38]

Answer:

13. is a solution of the equation. 14. and 15. are both inequalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

the equal sign is something you can look out for to decide if it is a solution to the equation. the > sign means 'greater than' and the ≤ means 'less than' or 'equal to'. both are not equals, therefore they are inequalities.
