Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Short pieces = x

Middle pieces = y

Long pieces = z

A three foot long deli sandwich must be split into three pieces

x + y + z = 3

The middle piece is twice as long as the shortest piece

y = 2x

The shortest piece is 8 inches shorter than the longest piece.

x = z - 8

z = x + 8

We substitute

x + y + z = 3

x + 2x + x + 8 = 3

5x = 8 - 3

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1

y = 2x

y = 2 × 1

y = 2

z = x + 8

z = 1 + 8

z = 7

How long should the three pieces be?

An education firm measures the high school dropout rate as the percentage of 16 to 24 year olds who are not enrolled in school a
posledela

Answer:

The value of the test statistic z = -0.6606

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The high dropout rate is \mu  = 6.1%  = 0.061

      The  sample size is  n = 1000

       The  number of dropouts x = 56

       The probability of having a dropout in 1000 people  \= x  = \frac{56}{1000}  =  0.056

Now setting up Test Hypothesis

 Null  H_o :  p = 0.061

 Alternative  H_a : p < 0.061        

The Test statistics is mathematically represented as

                 z = \frac{\= x - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -p)}{n} } }

substituting values

               z = \frac{0.056 - 0.061}{\sqrt{\frac{0.061(1 -0.061)}{1000} } }

               z = -0.6606

According to the statement

we have given that a shopkeeper asks 3 customers to taste the chocolate icecream.

And we have to identify the sample and population.

So, A definition of sample is that a

A sample is an outcome of a random experiment. When we sample a random variable, we obtain one specific value out of the set of its possible values. That particular value is called a sample.

And a Population is defines as the is a discrete group of people, animals or things that can be identified by at least one common characteristic for the purposes of data collection and analysis.

So, according to definition Sample is the 3 selected customers; And population is all customers.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is option c.

H0: p not equal to 0.5

H1: p equal to 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. H0: p not equal to 0.5

H1: p equal to 0.5

2. P cap = 104/ 260

P cap = 0.4. ( where p cap is the sample proportion)

3. Find the test statistic

Using : Z = ( p cap - p) /√ [(p ×q)/n] where p = 0.5 q= 1-p = 0.5. n=260

Z = -3.23

4. P value = 0.006

5. Since p value is less than the alpha level (0.01) . we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the touch therapists are not effective.
