Answer: 0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

let p be the population proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week.

As per given , we have

H_a: p

Sample size : n= 1491

The sample proportion of adults smoked a cigarette= \hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{462}{1491}=0.30985915493\approx0.31

The test statistic for proportion is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Substitute all the values , we get

z=\dfrac{0.31-0.30}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.30(1-0.30)}{1491}}}\\\\=\dfrac{0.01}{\sqrt{0.000141}}\\\\=\dfrac{0.01}{0.011874342087}=0.84261497731\approx0.84

Hence, the value of the test statistic = 0.84

If f(x)=x+4 and g(x)=x^2-1, what is g(f(x))?
pickupchik [31]

g(f(x)) means plug in f(x) for every "x" in g(x).

g(f(x))=(x+4)^2-1=x^2+8x+16-1=x^2+8x+15

answer: x^2+8x+15

nata0808 [166]

Answer: 32x-68

Step-by-step explanation:

(f•g) is equal to f(gx)

f(x)=4(2x-5)+3

Which is 8x-20+3=8x-17

Now multiply by 4.

4(8x-17)

= 32x-68
