You interview a random sample of 50 adults. the results of the survey show that 46​% of the adults said they were more likely to

buy a product when there are free samples. at alphaequals0.05​, can you reject the claim that at least 51​% of the adults are more likely to buy a product when there are free​ samples?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.46 -0.51}{\sqrt{\frac{0.51(1-0.51)}{50}}}=-0.707  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults who said they were more likely to buy a product when there are free samples is higher or equal than 0.51

Explanation:

Data given and notation

n=50 represent the random sample taken

\hat p==0.46 estimated proportion of adults who said they were more likely to buy a product when there are free samples

p_o=0.51 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is at least 0.51 or no.:  

Null hypothesis:p \geq 0.51  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.51  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.46 -0.51}{\sqrt{\frac{0.51(1-0.51)}{50}}}=-0.707  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about 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 provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is left tailed the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults who said they were more likely to buy a product when there are free samples is higher or equal than 0.51

Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal ta
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf

PV cost of Leaf Purchase =   $16,529

PV cost of Leasing =             $12,944.78

The company should lease the car.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:

Base price                    $32,780

less Federal tax credit ($7,500)

Charging station             2,200

less 50% tax credit         (1,100)

Cash paid                  $26,380

Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)

Net PV Investment    $16,529

b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:

PV (Present Value) $12,944.78

N (Number of Periods) 3.000

I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%

PMT (Periodic Payment)   $4,200.00

Starting Investment $2,500.00

Total Principal $15,100.00

Total Interest $2,129.50

c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax.  The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%).  When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851).  On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78
