The Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceivi

ng a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. What is the value of the test statistic needed to test this claim?

Answer: The test statistic needed to test this claim= 10.92

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of giving birth to a boy : p= 0.5

i..e The population proportion of giving birth to a boy =  0.5

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: p\leq0.5

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: p>0.5

Since H_a is right-tailed , so the hypothesis test is a right-tailed z-test.

Also, it is given that , the sample size : n= 291

Sample proportion: \hat{p}=\dfrac{239}{291}\approx0.82

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} , where n is sample size ,  \hat{p} is sample proportion and p is the population proportion.

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{0.82-0.5}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5(1-0.5)}{291}}}\approx10.92

i.e. the test statistic needed to test this claim= 10.92

Critical value ( one-tailed) for  0.01 significance level = z_{0.01}=2.326

Decision : Since Test statistic value (10.92)> Critical value (2.326), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[When test statistic value is greater than the critical value , then we reject the null hypothesis.]

Thus , we concluded that we have enough evidence at 0.01 significance level to support the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy.

98x24(100-2)x24 using the distributive property
boyakko [2]

Answer:

98 x 24 = 2352

2352 x 2400 = 5,644,800

2352 x (-48) = - 112,896

5,644,800 - 112,896 = 5,531,904

5,531,904 x 24 = 132,765,696

During the financial crisis of 2008, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil fell a high of $140 per barrel to around $50 per b
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

  decrease of 64.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change can be calculated from ...

  pct change = ((new value)/(original value) -1) × 100%

  = (50/140 -1) × 100%

  = (-9/14)×100% = -64 2/7% ≈ -64.3%

The price of crude fell about 64.3% in that period.

Si una empresa obtiene un préstamo de S/3000 a seis años de plazo, con una tasa de interés compuesto del 15 % anual capitalizabl
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

VF= $3.281,42

Interes= 3.281,42 - 3.000= $281.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Dada la siguiente información:

Prestamo (P)= $3.000

Tasa (i)= 0,015/2= 0,0075

Cantidad de periodos (n)= 6*2= 12 semestres

<u>Para calcular el valor final del prestamos, tenemos que usar la siguiente formula:</u>

VF= P*(1 + i)^n

VF= 3.000*1,0075^12

VF= $3.281,42

Interes= 3.281,42 - 3.000= $281.42
