Answer:

<em>H₀</em>: <em>p</em> = 0.20.

<em>Hₐ</em>: <em>p</em> ≠ 0.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

The data in Nutrition Study include information on nutrition and health habits of a sample of 315 people. One of the variables is Smoke, indicating whether a person smokes or not (yes or no). Use technology to test whether the data provide evidence that the proportion of smokers is different from 20% given that 43 identify themselves as smokers. Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses

In this case we need to test whether the proportion of smokers is different from 20%.

A one-proportion <em>z</em>-test can be used to determine the conclusion for this test.

The hypothesis defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of smokers is 20%, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.20.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of smokers is different from 20%, i.e. <em>p</em> ≠ 0.20.

The information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 315

<em>X</em> = number of people who identified themselves as smokers = 43

Compute the sample proportion of smokers as follows:

\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{43}{315}=0.137

Compute the test statistic as follows:

z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}=\frac{0.137-0.20}{\sqrt{\frac{0.20(1-0.20)}{315}}}=-2.80

The test statistic is -2.80.

Compute the <em>p</em>-value as follows:

p-value=2\times P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The <em>p</em>-value is 0.00512.

The <em>p</em>-value is quite small. So, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any significance level.

Thus, it can be concluded that the  proportion of smokers is different from 20%.

The population of Brazil was 162,300,000 in 1995. It was growing at a rate of about 2% per decade. Predict the population, to th
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The population is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the population of Brazil given its population in 1995 and her growth rate per decade.

Mathematically, we use an exponential function to calculate this population.

This can be written as P = I(1 + r)^n

where P is the population in 2015 which we are looking for,

I is the initial population which is 162,300,000

r is the rate of increase per decade given as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02,

n is the number of times between the years we are expecting this growth. The difference between the years 2015 and 1995 is 20 years which signifies 2 decades(1 decade is 10 years). Thus our n is 2

We plug these values into the equation above;

P = 162,300,000(1+0.02)^2

P = 162,300,000(1.02)^2

P = 168,856,920 which is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

A simple random sample of 36 men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 10.1 beats per minute
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

sample size n = 36

standard deviation = 10.1

level of significance ∝ = 0.10

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

H_0 : \sigma = 10

H_1 : \sigma \neq 10

The test statistics can be computed as follows:

X^2 = \dfrac{(n -1)s^2 }{\sigma ^2}

X^2 = \dfrac{(36 -1)10.1^2 }{10^2}

X^2 = \dfrac{(35)102.01 }{100}

X^2 = \dfrac{3570.35 }{100}

X^2 =35.704

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35

Since this test is two tailed .

The P -value can be determined by using the EXCEL FUNCTION ( = 2 × CHIDIST(35.7035, 35)

P - value = 2 × 0.435163515

P - value = 0.8703      ( to four decimal places)

Decision Rule : To reject the null hypothesis if  P - value is less than the 0.10

Conclusion: We fail to reject null hypothesis ( accept null hypothesis) since p-value is greater than 0.10 and we conclude that there is sufficient claim that the normal range of pulse rates of adults given as 60 to 100 beats per minute resulted to a standard deviation of 10 beats per minute.

he commercial division of a real estate firm is conducting a regression analysis of the relationship between , annual gross rent
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Number of apartment = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ANOVA result :

ANOVA ____ df ____ SS

Regression __ 1 ___ 41587.1

Residual ____ 7 ___

Total _______ 8 __ 51984.5

Number of apartment building in sample (n) :

Degree of freedom (df) = n - 1

The degree of freedom = total = 8

Hence,

8 = n - 1

8 + 1 = n - 1 + 1

9 = n

Hence, number of apartment building in sample = 9
