Answer:

The first number is 138.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be <em>x.</em>

<em />

Then since they are consecutive numbers, the second number will be (<em>x</em> + 1), the third (<em>x</em> + 2), the fourth (<em>x</em> + 3) and the fifth being (<em>x</em> + 4).

We are given that their sum is 700. Therefore:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)=700

Solve for <em>x</em>. Combine like terms:

5x+10=700

Subtract 10 from both sides:

5x=690

Divide both sides by five. Therefore:

x=138

The first number is 138.

Answer:

138

Step-by-step explanation:

(n) + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) + (n+4) = 700

5n + 10 = 700

5n = 690

n = 138

madreJ [45]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.755 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{98}}}=-1.114  

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 successes is not significantly less than 0.8 or 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=98 represent the random sample taken

X=74 represent the number of cases correct

\hat p=\frac{74}{98}=0.755 estimated proportion of successes

p_o=0.8 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 of successes is less than 0.8.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.8  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.8  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, 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{0.755 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{98}}}=-1.114  

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 a left tailed test 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 successes is not significantly less than 0.8 or 80%
