Answer:

C. H0 : p = 0.8 H 1 : p ≠ 0.8

The test is:_____.

c. two-tailed

The test statistic is:______p ± z (base alpha by 2) \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

The p-value is:_____. 0.09887

Based on this we:_____.

B. Reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate null and alternative hypotheses as  proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 80%.

H0 : p = 0.8 H 1 : p ≠ 0.8

The alternative hypothesis H1 is that the 80% of the  proportion is different and null hypothesis is , it is same.

For a two tailed test for significance level = 0.2 we have critical value  ± 1.28.

We have alpha equal to 0.2  for a two tailed test . We divided alpha with 2 to get the answer for a two tailed test. When divided by two it gives 0.1 and the corresponding value is ± 1.28

The test statistic is

p ± z (base alpha by 2) \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

Where p = 0.8 , q = 1-p= 1-0.8= 0.2

n= 200

Putting the values

0.8 ± 1.28 \sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{200} }

0.8 ± 0.03620

0.8362, 0.7638

As the calculated value of z lies within the critical region  we reject the null hypothesis.

PLEASE HELP -7y + 11 = 75 + y
Masja [62]

Answer:

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-7y + 11 = 75 + y

Bring the <em>"</em><em>y</em><em>"</em><em> </em>variable on one side, and rest on the other.

Rearranging, we get,

-7y - y = 75 - 11

-8y = 64

-y = 8

y = -8
