Members of a soccer team suspect the coin used for the coin toss at the beginning of their games is unfair. They believe it turn

s up tails less often than it should if it were fair. The coach of the team decides to flip the coin 100 times and count the number of tails. His trial results in 35 tails. He decides to carry out a significance test. What is the p-value he obtains and the general conclusion that can be made at a 99% significance level?
A.) The p-value is 0.0013. He should reject the null in favor of the alternative.

B.) The p-value is 0.0013. He should fail to reject the null.

C.) The p-value is 0.9987. He should reject the null in favor of the alternative.

D.) The p-value is 0.9987. He should fail to reject the null.

E.) There is not enough information provided to calculate the p-value and make a conclusion.

Answer:

The p-value is 0.0013. He should reject the null in favor of the alternative.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Members of a soccer team suspect the coin used for the coin toss at the beginning of their games is unfair. They believe it turns up tails less often than it should if it were fair.

The coach of the team decides to flip the coin 100 times and count the number of tails. His trial results in 35 tails.

Let p = <u><em>proportion of occurrence of tail.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.50     {means that it turns up tails equal to that it should if it were fair}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p < 0.50      {means that it turns up tails less often than it should if it were fair}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z-test for proportions;</u>

                            T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{ p(1-p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of tails occurrence = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35

            n = sample of trails = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.35-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{100} } }    

                                     =  -3

The value of z test statistics is -3.

Also, P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                P-value = P(Z < -3) = 1 - P(Z \leq 3)

                              = 1 - 0.9987 = <u>0.0013</u>

Since, the P-value of test statistic is less than the level of significance as 0.0013 < 0.01, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em>.

Therefore, we conclude that it turns up tails less often than it should if it were fair.

Given that 7 x − 2 y = 35 Find y when x = − 9
Sergio [31]

so x = minus 9

then

7 × (-9) - 2y = 35

-63 - 2y = 35

-2y = 35 plus 63

-2y = 98

- y = 49

y = -49

I don't know how to do this. Any help?
Brut [27]

Answer:

cos 37=x/b (second one)

sin 37= a/b (third one)

tan 37=a/x (sixth one)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cos is defined by the adjacent side over the hypotenuse. Cos 37 would be x/b. Clearly, that is option 2. Sin is defined by opposite over hypotenuse. Sin 37 would be a/b. That is the 3rd option. Tan is defined by opposite over adjacent. Tan 37 would be a/x or the 6th option.

How to multiply and divide rational numbers?
lutik1710 [3]

To divide rational numbers, you turn the division problem into a multiplication problem by flipping the second rational number. Then you go ahead and multiply the tops and bottoms together to get your answer. If you can simplify your problem before multiplication, you can go ahead and do so to make your problem easier.
