Of those women who are diagnosed to have early-stage breast cancer, one-third eventually die of the disease. Suppose a screening

program for the early detection of breast cancer was started in order to increase the survival rate p of those diagnosed to have the disease. A random sample of 200 women was selected from among those who were screened by the program and who were diagnosed to have the disease. Let x represent the number of those in the sample who survive the disease.
Required:
a. If you wish to determine the community screening program has been effective, state the alternative hypothesis that should be tested.
b. State the null hypothesis.
c. If 164 women in the sample of 200 survive the disease, can you conclude that the community screening program was effective? Test using αα=.05 and explain the practical conclusion from your test.
d. Find the p-value for the test and interpret it.

Answer:

A) Alternative hypothesis; Ha: p_o > ⅔

B) Null hypothesis;

H0: p_o = ⅔

C) There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the community screening programme was effective

D) p-value = 0

Its less than the significance value and so we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the community screening programme was effective

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that ⅓ of those diagnosed eventually die of the disease. Thus, ⅔ is the fraction that will survive the disease.

Thus, the null hypothesis is;

H0: p_o = ⅔

We are told that a screening programme was started to increase the survival rate. Thus,the alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: p_o > ⅔

B) null hypothesis is;

H0: p_o = ⅔

C) 164 out of the 200 women selected survived the disease.

Thus sample proportion is;

p^ = 164/200

p^ = 0.82

For the z-score value, we will use the formula;

z = (p^ - p_o)/√((p_o(1 - p_o)/n)

Now, p_o = ⅔ = 0.67

Thus;

z = (0.82 - 0.67)/√((0.67(1 - 0.67)/200)

z = 4.51

From online p-value from z-score calculator, we have p-value ≈ 0

This is less than the significant level of 0.05 and therefore we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the community screening program was effective.

D) p-value ≈ 0

Reject the null hypothesis

Write a real-world application problem such that the equation to be formed to solve the problem is
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

X=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove parentheses

7x - 5x - 40= 10

Merge the similar terms

2x - 40= 10

Constantly move to the right side and change characters

2x = 10 + 40

Addition

2x = 50

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

x = 25

HELP PLEASE BRAINLIEST!
7nadin3 [17]
A straight line can be drawn through all the points and the line passes through the point where x=0 and y=0. This best describes a graph of paired points that form a proportional relationship. You can tell this because the line passes directly through the origin (0,0). It also says that it is a straight line that passes through the points, so most likely the line will contain points that have a proportional relationship. Hope that helps :)

Base of a cube is a square, and in the given figure it's stated that the measure of each side is " x " ft

Therefore it's Area is equal to : -

  • side \times side

  • x \times x

  • {x}^{2}

Now, since it's Area is given as 1/4 ft², let's equate the Areas to find the measure of each side ~

that is ~

  • {x}^{2}  =  \dfrac{1}{4}

  • x =  \sqrt{ \dfrac{1}{2}  \times  \dfrac{1}{2} }

  • x =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \:  \: feet

It's time to find the volume of cube that is ~

  • (side) {}^{3}

So, let's plug the value of side length (1/2 ft)

Volume is equal to ~

  • {  \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2} \bigg) }^{3}

  • \dfrac{1}{8}  \:  \: ft {}^{3}

Hence, the required 1/8 or 0.125 ft³

I hope it helped ~

What is the variance of the following data? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places. 17, 13, 13, 22, 11, 20
Bond [772]
Variance is the standard deviation squared but we're not going to use that now. Let's first calculate the mean:

mean = (17+13+13+22+11+20)/6 = 16.

Now for each value, let's see how far it is from this mean. We'll square these distances and average them. That's our variance.

17 distance 1 squared = 1
13 distance 3 squared = 9
13 distance 3 squared = 9
22 distance 6 squared = 36
11 distance 5 squared = 25
20 distance 4 squared = 16

Now average these outcomes:

variance = (1+9+9+36+25+16)/6 = 16.

So the variance by coincidence is the same as the mean.

Answer C is your answer.
