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​%.

A company is making building blocks. Each building block is a cube and has volume 125/729 ft cubed . How long is each side of th
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The length of each side of the building block is 0.56 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A company is making building blocks. Each building block is a cube and has volume 125/729 ft cubed . Each of the building blocks has 6 faces which are squares, 8 vertices and 12 edges.

Since a square has all sides to be equal sides,

The volume of the cube = the volume of the building block =

Product of length,L, width, W and height, H.

Volume of the building block = L × W × H

Since length = width = height,

Volume of cube = L^3

From the information given,

Volume of a building block = 125/729ft cubed

L^3 = 125 / 729

Taking cube root of both sides of the equation,

L = cube root of 125/729

L = 5/9

= 0.56 feet
