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%.

Find the surface area of the triangular prism
lesya692 [45]

The surface area of the triangular prism is 1664 square inches.

Explanation:

Given that the triangular prism has a length of 20 inches and has a triangular face with a base of 24 inches and a height of 16 inches.

The other two sides of the triangle are 20 inches each.

We need to determine the surface area of the triangular prism.

The surface area of the triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

SA= bh+pl

where b is the base, h is the height, p is the perimeter and l is the length

From the given the measurements of b, h, p and l are given by

b=24 , h= 16 , l=20 and

p=20+20+24=64

Hence, substituting these values in the above formula, we get,

SA= (24\times16)+(64\times20)

Simplifying the terms, we get,

SA=384+1280

Adding the terms, we have,

SA=1664 \ square \ inches

Thus, the surface area of the triangular prism is 1664 square inches.

In a weekly lottery, ten ping-pong balls numbered 0 to 9 are placed in each of six containers, and one ping-pong ball is drawn f
sukhopar [10]
He will have a 1/531,441 chance of winning next week.

There are 10 balls in each container; for 6 containers, this gives us 10^6 = 1,000,000.  There is 1 correct combination of balls, so his chance the first week is 1/1,000,000.

The second week, 1 ball is removed from each container; this will give us 9^6 = 531,441 chances.  There is 1 correct combination, so he will have a 1/531,441 chance of winning.

Anna has a 25-meter-long fence that she plans to use to enclose a rectangular garden of width w. The fencing will be placed arou
Leviafan [203]
<h3>Answer:   -2w^2 + 25w = 25    or    -2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0</h3>

================================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The width is w. We have two opposite and parallel sides equal to this. The other two parallel congruent sides are L = 25-2w meters long. We start with the total amount of fencing, and then subtract off the two width values, so 25-w-w = 25-2w.

The area of the rectangle is

Area = length*width

Area = L*W

Area = (25-2w)*w

Area = 25w - 2w^2

Area = -2w^2 + 25w

Set this equal to the desired area (25 square meters) to get

-2w^2 + 25w = 25

and we can subtract 25 from both sides to get everything on one side

-2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0

side note: The two approximate solutions of this equation are w = 1.0961 and w = 11.4039 (use the quadratic formula or a graphing calculator to find this)
