A local police chief claims that 31% of all drug-related arrests are never prosecuted. A sample of 500 arrests shows that 27% of

Elis [28]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.27 -0.31}{\sqrt{\frac{0.31(1-0.31)}{500}}}=-1.933$

$p_v =P(Z$

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given $\alpha=0.02$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 2% of significance the proportion of arrests that were not prosecuted is not significanlty less than 0.31.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X represent the number of arrests that were not prosecuted.

$\hat p=0.27$ estimated proportion of arrests that were not prosecuted

$p_o=0.31$ 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 true proportion is less than 0.31.:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.31$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.31$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, 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:

$z=\frac{0.27 -0.31}{\sqrt{\frac{0.31(1-0.31)}{500}}}=-1.933$

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 left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z$

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given $\alpha=0.02$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 2% of significance the proportion of arrests that were not prosecuted is not significanlty less than 0.31.

Please help quickly as possible please

First we need to establish the fact that angles on a straight line ALWYS add up to 180
So, we solve the equation for x which turns out to be 3
But,were not done. The question asks us to find the value of the angle BOC
so we substitute the value of x into the equation for BOC (which is 6x+29)
And then your answer is 47 degrees

What is the probability that you flip 4 coins and at least 2 land on tails?

Marianna [84]

50%. Each coin has a 50% chance on landing on head and a 50% chance of landont on tails.
