] It is claimed that 42% of US college graduates had a mentor in college. For a sample of college graduates in Colorado, it was

Bad White [126]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.480 -0.42}{\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{1045}}}=3.930$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>3.930)=0.0000443$

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so then we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=1045 represent the random sample selected

X=502 represent the college graduates with a mentor

$\hat p=\frac{502}{1045}=0.480$ estimated proportion of college graduates with a mentor

$p_o=0.42$ is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true proportion is higher than 0.42, the system of hypothesis are.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.42$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.42$

The statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing the info we got:

$z=\frac{0.480 -0.42}{\sqrt{\frac{0.42(1-0.42)}{1045}}}=3.930$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>3.930)=0.0000443$

For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so then we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.42

Answer:

(b) $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2} = m$

(a) $\displaystyle 2 = m$

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 28% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

We conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 28% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

Let p = population percentage of blue candies

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 29% {means that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p $\neq$ 29% {means that the percentage of blue candies is different from 29%}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of blue coloured candies = 28%

n = sample of colored candies = 100

So, the test statistics = $\frac{0.28-0.29}{\sqrt{\frac{0.29(1-0.29)}{100} } }$

= -0.22

The value of the z-test statistics is -0.22.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

P-value = P(Z < -0.22) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.22)

= 1 - 0.5871 = 0.4129

Now, at a 0.10 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of -1.645 and 1.645 for the two-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of z, so we insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

What is the answer to 11x+4+51+2x+8=180

Digiron [165]

Hi,

Work:

Equation;

$11x + 4 + 51 + 2x + 8 = 180$

Collect like terms and calculate sum of positive numbers.

$13x + 63 = 180$

Move constant +63 to the right side and change its sign.

$13x = 180 - 63$

Subtract numbers.

$13x = 117$

Divide both sides of equation with 13.

$x = 9$

Hope this helps.
