A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 60% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. A

n XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 69% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is larger than 60% at the 0.01 significance level.
The null and alternative hypothesis would be:________
a. H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ≠0.6H1:μ≠0.6
b. H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ<0.6H1:μ<0.6
c. H0:μ=0.6H0:μ=0.6
H1:μ>0.6H1:μ>0.6
d. H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p≠0.6H1:p≠0.6
e. H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p>0.6H1:p>0.6
f. H0:p=0.6H0:p=0.6
H1:p<0.6H1:p<0.6
The test is:________
a. two-tailed
b. left-tailed
c. right-tailed
The test statistic is:_______ (to 3 decimals)
The p-value is:_______ (to 4 decimals)
Based on this we:________
a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis
b. Reject the null hypothesis

We are testing a hypothesis. So, first we identify the null and the alternative hypothesis, then we find the test statistic, and with the test statistic, the p-value is found.

Null and alternative hypothesis:

Claim the the proportion is of 60%, thus, the null hypothesis is:

H_0: p = 0.6

Test if the proportion is greater than 60%, thus, the alternative hypothesis is:

H_1: p > 0.6

And the answer to the first question is given by option c.

Classification:

We are testing if the proportion is greater than a value, so it is a right-tailed test.

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.6 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.6, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}

Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 69% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.

This means that n = 100, X = 0.69

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.69 - 0.6}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{100}}}

z = 1.837

The test statistic is z = 1.837.

p-value:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.69, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.837.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.837 has a p-value of 0.9669.

1 - 0.9669 = 0.0331

The p-value is 0.0331.

Decision:

The p-value of the test is 0.0331 > 0.01, and thus:

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis

Answer:

I beliive it is 16, but haven't done this in a bit haha

Step-by-step explanation:

So bisect means to "split in half" aka segment BD is directly in the middle of triangle ABC. This means we can look at the half of the triangle we know (ABD). We see a 16, so therefore x should be 16.

(again, hopefully I am correct)

Equation for, One half the sum of 8 and x
Ahat [919]

Answer:

\frac{8 + x}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to write 8 + x, but since it's half of that we write it as a fraction with a 2 on the bottom to halve it.
