According to a Pew Research Center study, in May 2011, 38% of all American adults had a smart phone (one which the user can use

to read email and surf the Internet). A communications professor at a university believes this percentage is higher among community college students. She selects 366 community college students at random and finds that 160 of them have a smart phone. Then in testing the hypotheses: H 0 : p = 0.38 versus H a : p > 0.38, what is the test statistic? z = . (Please round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

z=\frac{0.437 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{366}}}=2.25  

p_v =P(Z>2.25)=0.012  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=366 represent the random sample taken

X=160 represent the people with smartphones

\hat p=\frac{160}{366}=0.437 estimated proportion of people with smartphones

p_o=0.38 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)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of people with smatrphones is higher than 0.38:  

Null hypothesis:p \leq 0.38  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.38  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, 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{0.437 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{366}}}=2.25  

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 assumed is \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>2.25)=0.012  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed \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 true proportion of people with smatphones is higher than 0.38.

What dose a and x equal <br> 2³x 5- (√-1) a+ 5a - 3÷ x³
ser-zykov [4K]

The terms in which value of x when substituted leaves final value of p(x) = "0".

Here, x - 2 is factor. So value of x is 2.  

Substituting value of x we get,

p(x) = x3 - 3x + 5a

p(2) = 2*3 - 3(2) + 5a

0+ 8-6 + 5a

-2 = 5a

a= -0.4

What is the next term in the sequence below?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The sequence shown in the problem is a Geometric sequence, because it has a common ratio. This means that when you multiply one of those numbers by the common ratio, you obtain the next number.

2. Then, you can calculate the common ratio as following:

r=\frac{108}{-324}=-\frac{1}{3}

3. Therefor, the next term is:

(12)(-\frac{1}{3})=-4
