What is the y- intercept of a line that has a slope of 2 and passes through (-1,3)?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

y - intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y = mx + b

Input the given values

3 = -1(2) + b

3 = -2 + b

5 = b

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the annexation of a new bridge. A political study took a sample of 1000 voters in th

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.42 -0.39}{\sqrt{\frac{0.39(1-0.39)}{1000}}}=1.945$

$p_v =P(Z>1.945)=0.0259$

If we compare the p value obtained with the significance level given $\alpha=0.02$ 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 2% of significance the proportion of residents who favored annexation is not significantly higher than 0.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.42$ estimated proportion of residents who favored annexation

$p_o=0.39$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.02$ represent the significance level

Confidence=98% or 0.98

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is higher than 0.39:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.39$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.39$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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 $p_o$ .

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.42 -0.39}{\sqrt{\frac{0.39(1-0.39)}{1000}}}=1.945$

4) 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 $\alpha=0.02$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>1.945)=0.0259$

If we compare the p value obtained with the significance level given $\alpha=0.02$ 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 2% of significance the proportion of residents who favored annexation is not significantly higher than 0.39.
