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%.

4(x-11)^2=25
netineya [11]
Expand the square: 4(x-11)^ =25
4(x-11)(x-11)=25

Distribute : 4(x-11)(x-11)=25
4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25

Distribute: 4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25
4(x^-11x-11(x-11))=25

Solution: x=17/2
x=27/2

Items produced by a manufacturing process are supposed to weigh 90 grams. The manufacturing procon
Annette [7]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 0.26% of the items will either  weigh less than 87 grams or more than  93 grams.

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of 90 grams, hence \mu = 90.
  • The standard deviation is of 1 gram, hence \sigma = 1.

We want to find the probability of an item <u>differing more than 3 grams from the mean</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{3}{1}

Z = 3

The probability is P(|Z| > 3), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of Z = -3.

  • Looking at the z-table, Z = -3 has a p-value of 0.0013.

2 x 0.0013 = 0.0026

0.0026 x 100% = 0.26%

0.26% of the items will either  weigh less than 87 grams or more than  93 grams.

What is the product of the polynomials below?<br> (6x2-3x-6)(4x2 +5x+4)
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

24x^4+18x^3-15x^2 -42x-24

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x^2-3x-6)(4x^2 +5x+4)=

6x^2*4x^2 +6x^2*5x+6x^2*4

-3x*4x^2 - 3x*5x-3x*4

- 6*4x^2 -6*5x-6*4=

24x^4+30x^3+24x^2-12x^3-15x^2 -12x

-24x^2-30x-24=

24x^4+18x^3-15x^2 -42x-24
