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.

If you are paid $5.50/hour for mowing yards, and you take 1 3 3 hours to mow a yard, how much money are you owed
mamaluj [8]
The correct question is
<span>If you are paid $5.50/hour for mowing yards, and you take 3 1/3 hours to mow a yard, how much money are you owed
see the attached figure

we know that
3 1/3 hours-----> (3*3+1)/3----> 10/3 hours
Multiply </span>$5.50/hour by (10/3) hour
so
5.5*10/3----> $18.33

the answer is
$18.33

Translate the following sentence into math symbols. Then solve the problem. Show your work and keep the equation balanced.
adell [148]

For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:

"10 less than x is -45"

So:

10 less than x is represented as: x-10

Then, the complete expression is represented as:

x-10 = -45

Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:

x = -45 + 10\\x = -35

Thus, the value of the variable is x = -35

Answer:

x = -35

A) There are a number of ways to compute the determinant of a 3x3 matrix. Since k is on the bottom row, it is convenient to compute the cofactors of the numbers on the bottom row. Then the determinant is ...
  1×(2×-1 -3×1) -k×(3×-1 -2×1) +2×(3×3 -2×2) = 5 -5k

bi) Π₁ can be written using r = (x, y, z).
  Π₁ ⇒ 3x +2y +z = 4

bii) The cross product of the coefficients of λ and μ will give the normal to the plane. The dot-product of that with the constant vector will give the desired constant.
  Π₂ ⇒ ((1, 0, 2)×(1, -1, -1))•(x, y, z) = ((1, 0, 2)×(1, -1, -1))•(1, 2, 3)
  Π₂ ⇒ 2x +3y -z = 5

c) If the three planes form a sheath, the ranks of their coefficient matrix and that of the augmented matrix must be 2. That is, the determinant must be zero. The value of k that makes the determinant zero is found in part (a) to be -1.

A common approach to determining the rank of a matrix is to reduce it to row echelon form. Then the number of independent rows becomes obvious. (It is the number of non-zero rows.) This form for k=-1 is shown in the picture.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SOLVE!!!!
VARVARA [1.3K]
Write the vertex form of the equation and find the necessary coefficient to make it work.
.. y = a*(x +3)^2 -2
.. = ax^2 +6ax +9a -2

You require the y-intercept to be 7. So, for x=0, you have
.. 9a -2 = 7
.. 9a = 9
.. a = 1

The equation you seek is
.. y = x^2 +6x +7
