22. One kilometer is approximately 0.62 mile. What fraction represents this length?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

One kilometer is $\frac{31}{50}$ miles

Explanation:

To convert a decimal to a fraction:

1- Write the decimal as a fraction whose denominator is 1

2- Multiply both numerator and denominator by multiples of 10 to eliminate the decimal point

3- Simplify the fraction you have

Now, for the given problem:

The given decimal is 0.62, following the above steps:

Step 1:

$0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1}$

Step 2:

We have two digits after the decimal point, so to eliminate the decimal point, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100

$0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1} * \frac{100}{100} = \frac{62}{100}$

Step 3:

We can note that, in the fraction obtained from step 2, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, so we simplify as follows:

$\frac{62}{100} = \frac{62/2}{100/2} =\frac{31}{50}$

Hope this helps :)

We are conducting a hypothesis test to determine if fewer than 80% of ST 311 Hybrid students complete all modules before class.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.881 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{110}}}=2.124$

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.8$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.8$

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

$p_v =P(Z$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Be Careful with the system of hypothesis!

If we conduct the test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.8$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.8$

$p_v =P(Z>2.124)=0.013$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=110 represent the random sample taken

X=97 represent the students who completed the modules before class

$\hat p=\frac{97}{110}=0.882$ estimated proportion of students who completed the modules before class

$p_o=0.8$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest) 2) Concepts and formulas to use We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is less than 0.8 or 80%: Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.8$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.8$

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:

$z=\frac{0.881 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{110}}}=2.124$

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 assumed $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

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

$p_v =P(Z$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.

Be Careful with the system of hypothesis!

If we conduct the test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.8$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.8$

$p_v =P(Z>2.124)=0.013$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
