Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming elect

ion. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Calculate the p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example. (Hint: Find the test statistic and then use the tables to find the p-value.)

Answer:

The p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example is 0.3121.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test the hypothesis that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy.

At the null hypothesis, we test that the proportion is 50%, that is:

H_0: p = 0.5

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this proportion is above 50%, that is:

H_a: p > 0.5

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5

Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy.

This means that n = 150, X = \frac{78}{150} = 0.52

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.52 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{150}}}

z = 0.49

Pvalue of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of finding a proportion above 0.52, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = 0.49.

Looking at the z-table, z = 0.49 has a pvalue of 0.6879.

1 - 0.6879 = 0.3121

The p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example is 0.3121.

An automobile tire loses t milliliters of tread traveling m miles. What is the independent variable?
CaHeK987 [17]
Dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable

m, because the amount of tread lost depends on how many miles you traveled
it's not, the amount of miles depends on how much tread you lost

The admission to the fair is $5 and the cost per ride is 50 cents. If his parents give hime $20, write and solve a linear equati
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission to the fair is $5 and the cost per ride is 50 cents.

Let the number of rides that he can go on be x

If one ride costs 50 cents, x rides will cost 50×x = 50x cents. Converting 50 cents to dollar, it becomes 50/100 = $0.5.

So x rides will cost $0.5x

If his parents gave him $20, he will pay $5 to be admitted into the fair. He would be left with 20- 5 = $15

The equation to find how many rides he can go on will be

0.5x = 15

Since one ride costs $0.5

x rides cost $15

x = 15/0.5 = 30

He can go on 30 rides

A hamster wheel has a diameter of 8.5 in. How many inches does the hamster run in one revolution? Use 3.14 to approximate for π
Ahat [919]

As hamster wheel is circular so for revolution we will find the circumference.

Diameter of the Hamster wheel = 8.5 in

One revolution of the wheel = circumference of the wheel

Circumference = π × d

π = 3.14 and d = 8.5

So, Circumference = 3.14 × 8.5

Circumference = 26.69 in

So in one revolution the hamster wheel travels a distance of 26.69 in
