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%.

Graph Data ALG 2 Please Help!
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

1.  Figure 3

2. 2881.4 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph in figure 3 has a curve that fits the data best because it captures most of the points unlike the other two curves.

The curve in figure 3 has the equation;

y=-16.9x^2 +430x+523

2.

When using x=8, substitute the value of x in the equation with 8 to get

y = -16.9*64 + 430*8 + 523

y= 2881.4

= 2881.4 cm³

Solve the equation -3k+6=15
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

K= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3k+6=15

-3k=9

/-3  /-3

k=-3

subtract 6 from both sides.

divide each side by -3 to get K alone

-3 is your answer.
