A college chemistry instructor thinks the use of embedded tutors will improve the success rate in introductory chemistry courses

. The passing rate for introductory chemistry is 6565​%. During one​ semester, 200200 students were enrolled in introductory chemistry courses with an embedded tutor. Of these 200200 ​students, 147147 passed the course. The instructor carried out a hypothesis test and found that the observed value of the test statistic was 2.522.52. The​ p-value associated with this test statistic is 0.00590.0059. Explain the meaning of the​ p-value in this context. Based on this​ result, should the instructor believe the success rate has​ improved?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The chemistry instructor tested the hypothesis that the proportion of students that passed the introductory chemistry class is better with an embedded. If the known proportion for this population is 65%, the tested hypothesis is:

H₀: p=0.65

H₁: p>0.65

The calculated statistic is Z=2.52 and the associated p-value: 0.0059

Remember:

The p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis (i.e. the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis).

In this case:

P(Z≥2.52)=0.0059

There is no significance level, the most common one is α: 0.05 so I'll use it as an example.

To make a decision using the p-value you have to compare it to the α.

If p- value>α then you support the null hypothesis (In this case, you can say that there is no change in the proportion of students that passed the introductory chemistry class with an embedded tutor.)

If p-value≤α your decision will be to reject the null hypothesis (In this case, there is significant evidence to say that there is an improvement in the success rate of the introductory chemistry class with an embedded tutor?

Since the p-value:0.0059 is less than the significance level 0.05, you will decide to reject the null hypothesis.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

Make x the subject of the formula <br> a=bx+c
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

(a-c)/b = x

Step-by-step explanation:

a = bx + c

subtract 'c' from each side to get:

(a-c) = bx

divide each side by 'b' to get:

(a-c)/b = x

rank has a circular garden. The area of the garden is 100 ft2. What is the approximate distance from the edge of Frank’s garden
Ray Of Light [21]

It is given that the area of the circular garden = 100 ft^2

Area of circle with radius 'r' = \pi r^2

We have to determine the approximate distance from the edge of Frank’s garden to the center of the garden, that means we have to determine the radius of the circular garden.

Since, area of circular garden = 100

\pi r^2 = 100

\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 = 100

r^2 = \frac{700}{22}

r^2 = 31.8

r = \sqrt{31.8}

So, r = 5.6 ft

r = 6 ft (approximately)

Therefore, the approximate distance from the edge of Frank’s garden to the center of the garden is 6 ft.

So, Option A is the correct answer.

The functions f(x) and g(x) in the graph below are most likely which two equations?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

It's C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The red curve  pass through the point (0, 1) and also y = 2 when x = 1 ,  so this is y = 2^x. The inverse is the reflection of  f(x) in x = y so the blue curve is y = log2 x.
