The owner of a small pet supply store wants to open a second store in another city, but he only wants to do so if more than one-

third of the city's households have pets (otherwise there won't be enough business). He samples 150 of the households and finds that 64 have pets.
Define the appropriate parameter(s) and state the hypotheses for testing if this sample provides evidence that more than one-third of households in this city own pets.

Answer:

The answer is "The null hypothesis was rejected".

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are the right-tailed test:

Calculating the null and alternative hypothesis:

H_0 : p = 0.3333\\\\H_a : p > 0.3333\\\\n = 150\\\\x = 64\\\\\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{64}{150} = 0.4267\\\\P_0 = 0.3333\\\\1 - P_0 = 1 - 0.3333 = 0.6667\\\\

z = \frac{\hat{p} - P_0}{[\sqrt{\frac{P_0 \times (1 - P_0 )}{n}}]}

   = \frac{0.4267 - 0.3333}{[\sqrt{\frac{(0.3333 \times 0.6667)}{150}}]}\\\\= 2.426

Calculating the right-tailed test:

P(z > 2.426) = 1 - P(z < 2.426) = 1 - 0.9924 = 0.0076\\\\P-value = 0.0076\\\\\alpha = 0.05\\\\P-value < \alpha

Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

This example shows that more than a third of the families own pets in this town.

A point particle with charge q is at the center of a Gaussian surface in the form of a cube. The electric flux through any one f
TEA [102]

Answer:

iv. q/6E0

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric flux formula:

The electic flux formula, of a charge q is given by, through an entire cube, is given by:

E = \frac{q}{E_o}

In which E_o is a constant related to the material.

The electric flux through any one face of the cube is:

Key-word is face, and a cube has 6 faces, with the force distributed evenly throughout it. Thus

E_f = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{q}{E_o} = \frac{q}{6E_o}

And the correct answer is given by option iv.
