Standard form of 0.000035

In a study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users, 135 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.0003214 -0.00034}{\sqrt{\frac{0.00034(1-0.00034)}{420095}}}=-0.654$

$p_v =2*P(Z$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.005$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the true proportion not differs significantly from the specified value of 0.00034 or 0.034%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=420095 represent the random sample taken

X=135 represent the subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today)

$\hat p=\frac{135}{420095}=0.0003214$ estimated proportion of subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today)

$p_o=0.00034$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.005$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99.5% or 0.995

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% :

Null hypothesis: $p=0.00034$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.00034$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

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

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.0003214 -0.00034}{\sqrt{\frac{0.00034(1-0.00034)}{420095}}}=-0.654$

4) Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.005$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.005$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the true proportion not differs significantly from the specified value of 0.00034 or 0.034%.

Select the equivalent expression.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\frac{7^{15}}{3^{30}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$(\frac{3^{-6}}{7^{-3}})^{5}$

Moving the expression to the other side in the fraction changes its sign to opposite. A numerator with negative exponent, when written in denominator will have the positive exponent. Using this rule, we can write:

$(\frac{3^{-6}}{7^{-3}})^{5}\\\\ = (\frac{7^{3}}{3^{6}} )^{5}$

The exponent 5 can be distributed to both numerator and denominator as shown:

$(\frac{7^{3}}{3^{6}} )^{5}\\\\ = \frac{(7^{3})^{5}}{(3^{6})^{5}}$

The power of a power can be written as a product. i.e.

$\frac{(7^{3})^{5}}{(3^{6})^{5}}\\\\ =\frac{7^{15}}{3^{30}}$

So, the expression similar to the given expression and with positive exponents is: $\frac{7^{15}}{3^{30}}$

A scuba diver has a taut rope connecting the dive boat to an anchor on the ocean floor. The rope is 140 feet long and the water

Nostrana [21]

You will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem and plug in the varibles. The rope is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed, and the 40ft water is the vertical leg, which leaves the ocean floor to be the horizontal leg.[a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\] \[a^{2}+40^{2}=140^{2}\] Then solve for a. \[a^{2}=18000\] \[a=134.164\]

Place the following steps in order to describe how to solve the following equation: 2(2x+3)-2=5

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you distribute the equation.

2(2x+3)-2=5

4x+6-2=5

Then, you combine like terms.

4x+6-2=5

4x+4=5

Next, you subtract 4 from each side.

4x+4=5

4x+4-4=4x

5-4=1

4x=1

Finally, you divide each side by 4.

4x/4

1/4

(4x/4 you'd end up with x)

Answer: x=1/4

I need help on this problem

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Where f(x) and g(x) intersect on the x- axis the value of y is zero

Equate either of the 2 functions to 0 and solve for x

Using f(x) = 8x² - 2, then

8x² - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

8x² = 2 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x² = $\frac{2}{8}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

Take the square root of both sides

x = ± $\sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }$ = ± $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence k = $\frac{1}{2}$ → B
