Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say if b = -2 and c = -3

-2-(-3) = 1 that would be the distance between them. If it was D then you would need absolute value.

Hope this helps! Have a nice day!

The claim is that the proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week is less than 0.30, and the sample statistics

IrinaK [193]

Answer: 0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

let p be the population proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week.

As per given , we have

$H_a: p$

Sample size : n= 1491

The sample proportion of adults smoked a cigarette= $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{462}{1491}=0.30985915493\approx0.31$

The test statistic for proportion is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

Substitute all the values , we get

$z=\dfrac{0.31-0.30}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.30(1-0.30)}{1491}}}\\\\=\dfrac{0.01}{\sqrt{0.000141}}\\\\=\dfrac{0.01}{0.011874342087}=0.84261497731\approx0.84$

Hence, the value of the test statistic = 0.84
