In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 50 % of the audience would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcom

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

z= -0.968

We can conclude that we fail to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people who says that they would watch one of the television shows not differs from 0.5 or 50% .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation n

n=106 represent the random sample taken

X=48 represent the people who says that they would watch one of the television shows.

$\hat p=\frac{48}{106}=0.453$ estimated proportion of people who says that they would watch one of the television shows.

$p_o=0.5$ 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)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that 50% of people who says that they would watch one of the television shows.:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.5$

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:

$z=\frac{0.453 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{106}}}=-0.968$

4) Statistical decision

P value method or p value approach . "This method consists on 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 is not provided, but we can assume $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

So based on the p value obtained and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we fail to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people who says that they would watch one of the television shows not differs from 0.5 or 50% .

1/2+1/4=____ and 1/12 + 1/6=___ and 1/4+1/6+1/12=_____ . explain

BlackZzzverrR [31]

1/2+ 1/4
= 2/4+ 1/4
= 3/4

1/12+ 1/6
= 1/12+ 2/12
= 3/12
= 1/4

Therefore, 1/4+ 1/6+ 1/12
= (1/12+ 1/6)+ (1/12+ 1/6)
= 2*(1/12+ 1/6)
= 2* (1/4)
= 2/4
= 1/2

Hope this helps~

At a certain bookstore, you get a $5 coupon for every 4 books you buy. What is the least number of books you could buy to get $1

zalisa [80]

Answer:

12books

Step-by-step explanation:

4 books → 1 $5 coupon

$15 coupon = $15 / $5 = 3times of $5 coupons

3 $5 coupons → 4 x 3 = 12 books

this is a topic on forming and solving equations. If you wish to explore more into this topic you can give me a follow on Instagram (learntionary) I'll be posting notes for many topics and will also be posting some tips :)

The diagram below shows a student using a clinometer to measure the height of a flagpole. When the student stands 40 feet away f

AVprozaik [17]

The correct answer is the flagpole is <span>33 feet high</span>.

Explanation:
Please refer to the attached picture.

We know:
CD = 40 feet
AC = 5 feet
∠BDC = α = 35°

Using trigonometry, we know that the definition of the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side, therefore:
tan α = BC / CD

Solving for BC:
BC = CD · <span>tan α
= 40 </span>· tan (35)
= 28 feet

In order to find the height of the flagpole, we need to add the distance of the clinometer from the ground:
AB = BC + AC
= 28 + 5
= 33

Hence, the flagpole is 33 feet high.
