Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the pre

vious 6 months, in a sample of 115 new-car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new-car buyers that trade in their old car has statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis?

Answer:

z=\frac{0.4 -0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{115}}}=-1.717  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that have traded in their old car is lower than 0.48 or 48%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=115 represent the random sample taken

X=46 represent the number of people that have traded in their old car.

\hat p=\frac{46}{115}=0.4 estimated proportion of people that have traded in their old car

p_o=0.48 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.9

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is less than 0.48.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.48  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.48  

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.

Calculate the statistic  

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

z=\frac{0.4 -0.48}{\sqrt{\frac{0.48(1-0.48)}{115}}}=-1.717  

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=0.1. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that have traded in their old car is lower than 0.48 or 48%.

What is the equation of a circle with center of (4,2) passing through the point (7,2)
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

(x-4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 3^2

or

(x-4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9 (simplified if needed)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Equation of a circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r^2.

-Place the center and the point onto that equation:

(7-4)^2+(2-2)^2=r^2

-Then, you solve:

(7-4)^2+(2-2)^2=r^2

(3)^2+(0)^2=r^2

9 +0=r^2

9=r^2

\sqrt{9} =\sqrt{r^2}

3=r

-So, the result is:

(x-4)^2+(y-2)^2=3^2

or

(x-4)^2+(y-2)^2=9 (simplified if needed)

What is the average (with 0 decimal places) across all schools for the total score? Group of answer choices 1287 1215 1221 1229
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The average

The data whose average is to be calculated are not given.

However, the formula to calculate the average is:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

Assume the data is:

1287\ 1215\ 1221\ 1229

This means that the number of schools is 4

So:

\bar x = \frac{1287+ 1215+ 1221+ 1229}{4}

\bar x = \frac{4952}{4}

\bar x = 1238

<em>The average of the assumed data is 1238</em>

K divide by 6 + 8 = 5
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

k= -18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = (k/6) + 8 so 5-8 = k/6

-3=k/6 then -3 multiplied by 6 = k which is -18 = k

-18/6= -3

-3+8=5

What is the value of the exponential function f (x)=2 times (1/3)^x when x= -2
frutty [35]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(1/3)^x

[x = -2]

f(-2) = 2(1/3)⁻²

= 2(9)

= 18
