Suppose a national survey conducted among a simple random sample of 1528 American adults, 800 indicate that they think the Civil

War is still relevant to American politics and political life.
1. What are the correct hypotheses for conducting a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence that the majority of the Americans think the Civil War is still relevant?
2. Calculate the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
3. Calculate the p-value for this hypothesis test.

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

2) z=\frac{0.524 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1528}}}=1.876  

3) Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>1.876)=0.0303  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=1528 represent the random sample taken

X=800 represent the adults that said indicate that they think the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life

\hat p=\frac{800}{1528}=0.524 estimated proportion of adults indicate that they think the Civil War is still relevant to American politics and political life

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

1) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that 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.

2) Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.524 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1528}}}=1.876  

3) 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 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>1.876)=0.0303

Ravi needs to buy some pencils. Brand A has 36 pencils for $8.52. Brand B has a pack of 48 pencils for $9.98. Find the unit pric
Aliun [14]

For this question you would divide $8.52 by 36 pencils to get about $0.24 per pencil for brand A rounded to the nearest cent. Then divide $9.98 by 48 pencils to get about $0.21 per pencil for brand B rounded to the nearest cent.

A similarity transformation maps polygon ABCD to polygon PQRS. If the length of is 6 and the length of the corresponding side, ,
grigory [225]
For this case, what we must do is find the scale factor.
 We have then that the scale factor is given by:
 k =  \frac{L1}{L2}
 Where,
 L1: side length of polygon ABCD
 L2: side length of polygon PQRS
 Note: both sides belong to the same side of each polygon
 Substituting the values we have:
 k = \frac{6}{12}
 Rewriting we have:
 k = \frac{1}{2}
 Answer:
 
The scale factor of dilation is given by:
 
k = \frac{1}{2}

Write an equation and solve.<br> How opd am I if 400 reduced by 2 times my age is 244?
seropon [69]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

x = your age

400 - 2x = 244

subtract 400 from both sides of the equation:

-2x = -156

divide both sides by -2:

x = 78

The Cunninghams are moving across the country. Mr. Cunningham leaves 3 hours before Mrs. Cunningham. If he averages 40mph and sh
svp [43]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

now, if say, by the time they meet, Mr Cunningham has travelled "d" miles, that means Mrs Cunningham must also had travelled "d" miles as well.

However, he left 3 hours earlier, so by the time he travelled "d" miles, and took say "t" hours, for her it took 3 hour less, because she started driving 3 hours later, so, she's been on the road 3 hours less than Mr Cunningham, so by the time they meet, Mrs Cunningham has travelled then "t - 3" hours.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;\textit{Mr Cunningham}&d&40&t\\&#10;\textit{Mrs Cunningham}&d&80&t-3&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\boxed{d}=40t\\&#10;d=80(t-3)\\&#10;----------\\&#10;\boxed{40t}=80(t-3)&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{40t}{80}=t-3\implies \cfrac{t}{2}=t-3\implies t=2t-6\implies 6=2t-t&#10;\\\\\\&#10;6=t

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 126. Let x represent the first integer, x + 2 represent the second integer, and x
LekaFEV [45]
We have that (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 126 so 3x + 6 = 126 can be used to find the first integer.

3x + 6 = 126
3x = 120
x = 40

The numbers are 40, 42, 44
