Which is the last operation performed when evaluating (8-2x)+4

in a program designed to help patients stop smoking 232 patients were given sustained care and 84.9% of them were no longer smok

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.849 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{232}}}=1.869$

$p_v =2*P(Z>1.869)=0.0616$

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults were no longer smoking after one month is not significantly different from 0.8 or 80% .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=232 represent the random sample taken

X represent the adults were no longer smoking after one month

$\hat p=0.849$ estimated proportion of adults were no longer smoking after one month

$p_o=0.80$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

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 true proportion is 0.8.:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.8$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.8$

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:

$z=\frac{0.849 -0.8}{\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{232}}}=1.869$

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 $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>1.869)=0.0616$

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of adults were no longer smoking after one month is not significantly different from 0.8 or 80% .

Please help me answer thanks.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is

M = kr³ ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, thus

160 = k × 4³ = 64k ( divide both sides by 64 )

2.5 = k

M = 2.5r³ ← equation of variation

(a)

When r = 2, then

M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20

(b)

When M = 540, then

540 = 2.5r³ ( divide both sides by 2.5 )_

216 = r³ ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = $\sqrt[3]{216}$ = 6

Consider the equation below.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Equation in square form:

$y=3(x+5)^2-4$

Extreme value:

$(h,k)=(-5,-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

$y=3x^2+30x+71$

we can complete square

$y=3(x^2+10x)+71$

we can use formula

$a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$

$y=3(x^2+2\times x\times 5)+71$

now, we can add and subtract 5^2

$y=3(x^2+2\times x\times 5+5^2-5^2)+71$

$y=3(x^2+2\times x\times 5+5^2)-3\times 5^2+71$

$y=3(x+5)^2-75+71$

So, we get equation as

$y=3(x+5)^2-4$

Extreme values:

we know that this parabola

and vertex of parabola always at extreme values

so, we can compare it with

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

where

vertex=(h,k)

now, we can compare and find h and k

$y=3(x+5)^2-4$

we get

h=-5

k=-4

so, extreme value of this equation is

$(h,k)=(-5,-4)$

A kite can be both equiangular and equilateral

BaLLatris [955]

True. An equilateral has equal sides, which is possible, and <span>equiangular Has equal angles, which if you have same side lengths, have same angles; right angles</span>
