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 just need Y. I already found X
garri49 [273]
Y = 54.

This is really complicated to explain, but since x is 36 and the angle on the other side of the known angle is also 36, that makes y 54. Each pair of angles has to equal to 90 degrees.

Hope this helps!

A right rectangular prism has a volume of 144 cubic meters. The prism is 8 meters long and 3 meters high. What is the width of t
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The possible lengths and widths of the prism will be all those positive ordered pairs whose multiplication is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

where

B is the area of the rectangular base

h is the height of the prism

In this problem we have

substitute and solve for B

-----> area of the rectangular base

therefore

The possible lengths and widths of the prism will be all those positive ordered pairs whose multiplication is equal to
