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.

At a local clothing store, Morgan finds they are having a storewide 40% off sale. She also has a $15 coupon which applies to her
LuckyWell [14K]

Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon

Lets say her total was $150.

If you take the 40% off first, you get $90

150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)

Now you subtract 15 from that value.

90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.

If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135

150 - 15 = 135

The total will come out to be $81

$135 * .6 = 81

If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.

Solve the following equation <br> 6x-3=4z+9
Pie

Answer:

z=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6z + 3 + -4z = 9

Reorder the terms:

3 + 6z + -4z = 9

Combine like terms: 6z + -4z = 2z

3 + 2z = 9

Solving

3 + 2z = 9

Solving for variable 'z'.

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 2z = 9 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 2z = 9 + -3

2z = 9 + -3

Combine like terms: 9 + -3 = 6

2z = 6

Divide each side by '2'.

z = 3

Simplifying

z = 3
